Contact the Protect Field Team
Here to help
The Protect Field Team comprises Gary Robb, Craig Johnston, Brett Buckingham, John Cain, James Barnes, Steve Bankes, Ian Gill and Martin Jardine. You'll find our Officers visiting work sites, meeting with members and assisting with claims. Our high income protection claim acceptance rate can be attributed to the support members receive from our Field Team which operates independently of the insurer.
Together with Employer support provided by Joyce Simitzis and Kacie Mazzella, the Field Team bring a broad range of experience and expertise across the Protect network, helping employers understand their obligations and ensuring members can access the benefits and services available to them. Members are encouraged to use the direct contacts below or call through to our Member Services Team on 1300 344 249 to reach any of the team.
