Ansvar Insurance (Commercial Insurance)

Ansvar Insurance was launched in Australia in 1961 by the Swedish company Ansvar Mutual as a motor and household insurance company that only insured people who did not drink alcoholic beverages or considered otherwise as ‘total abstainers’. At the time, the requirement that all policyholders were total abstainers from alcohol applied equally to staff members and directors. From the beginning, Ansvar added property and liability insurances to its range of products available to businesses owned by total abstainers and to churches, but this was limited only to churches who held a firm policy opposing alcohol usage. Over the last 60 years, Ansvar has grown and developed to become a leading insurance and risk specialist with a focus on the Care Services, Community Services (Not For Profits), Learning and Education Services, Faith Communities, Arts, Culture and Heritage and Commercial Property Owner sectors.
