At Neilson Financial Services Australia & New Zealand, our purpose is to support and protect what matters most to our policyholders and their families. Through life and funeral insurance, we help provide peace of mind, ensuring loved ones are financially supported and funeral expenses are covered when it matters most.
Since launching locally in late 2024, we have rapidly grown our Australian business, expanded multiple brands across Australia and New Zealand, and built a high-performing team backed by the strength and stability of a trusted global organisation.
As a global organisation, we are committed to treating our policyholders with respect and understanding. We strive to support their individual needs by offering flexible payment structures and a range of support options when they need it most, helping them maintain protection for their loved ones.
Within Retention, our focus is to listen, understand, and support our valued policyholders, working with them to find the right solutions to help them keep their cover in place.
Now, we’re growing our Retention team — the people who protect our customers after the policy is in place.

Perks that matter – enjoy free lunches every Wednesday and Friday (yes, lunch is on us)
Grow your career, not just your role – clear development pathways where performance, improvement, and ownership are recognised and rewarded
Prime Barangaroo location – work from a modern CBD office, close to transport, great food, and harbour views
Security + opportunity – permanent role in a fast-growing Australian business with strong global backing
