About Us

Nexus Advisernet (formerly known as Nexus Risk Services) was established in Bunbury in 1980. During this period Nexus Risk Services grew to a team of over 40 skilled professionals across Sydney, Perth, Albany, Geraldton, and Bunbury.

In 2022 Nexus Risk Services partnered with Insurance Advisernet which provided their advisers the opportunity to purchase their portfolios. These advisers are now part of a growing network which has over 275 insurance advice practices, spans over 150 locations in Australia / New Zealand, collectively manages $1.8 billion in premium and serves over 140,000 clients.

Operating under the name Nexus Advisernet, the former Nexus Risk Advisers continue to collaborate as one, to continue a culture committed to maintaining the exceptional service standards. This is shown in Bunbury where Chris Michell (Jarrisha Pty Ltd), has teamed up with Sellena Jones (Chaharlia Pty Ltd) and Debbie Sills (WestCover Pty Ltd) to maintain the same operational dynamic for Bunbury as forged by the former Nexus Risk Services.
