Petara Tanuvasa Named Insurance Business Elite Broker 2026
Silverback Insurance Director recognised among Australia’s top insurance professionals
Silverback Insurance is proud to announce that Director Petara Tanuvasa has been named an Insurance Business Elite Broker 2026 — one of Australia’s most prestigious recognitions in the insurance industry.
The Insurance Business Elite Brokers list is compiled annually by Insurance Business Australia, recognising brokers who demonstrate exceptional client outcomes, technical expertise, and a commitment to going beyond the standard for their clients. Being named on this list places Petara among an elite group of the country’s best-performing brokers.
What the Recognition Means for Silverback Insurance Clients
This recognition is a direct reflection of the work we do for our clients every day. At Silverback Insurance, we specialise in construction insurance — helping builders, contractors, and developers across Australia protect their projects, their people, and their businesses.
Being recognised as an Elite Broker means our clients can be confident they are working with a broker who:
- Understands construction risk from the ground up — Petara’s background in claims and construction gives Silverback a unique edge in identifying and managing risk before it becomes a problem
- Delivers real solutions, not generic policies — every client receives a tailored insurance strategy aligned to their specific project type, contract requirements, and risk profile
- Goes above and beyond at claims time — when it matters most, Silverback stands beside its clients to guide them through the process and advocate on their behalf
About Petara Tanuvasa
Petara Tanuvasa founded Silverback Insurance to solve a problem he saw repeatedly from both sides of the industry: builders were being underserved by insurers who didn’t understand construction.
Starting his career in claims, Petara developed a deep understanding of how losses happen on construction sites — and how the right insurance structure can prevent financial disaster. That knowledge became the foundation of Silverback Insurance, which has grown to serve builders and contractors across Queensland and Australia.
His recognition as an Insurance Business Elite Broker 2026 is the result of years of dedication to the construction sector and a relentless focus on client outcomes.
