What I Do

Over the last ten years I have helped numerous everyday Australians successfully settle large and challenging general insurance claims and building disputes. My success comes from both meticulous preparation and confident negotiation as well as in-depth insurance, mould and building industry knowledge. My motivation comes from personal experience with my own complex storm (mould) damage claim, which first set me on this path nearly a decade ago.

I am here with you at each stage of the process to decipher the expert reports and evidence, navigate the claim on your behalf, manage the dispute process and advise you on your options and rights. Your advocate and confidante, my role is to get my clients everything they are entitled to under their policy or building contract so they can get back on their feet fast. If I don’t believe I can make a difference I will tell you upfront during our (1 hour) free consultation.

If I take on your matter it means I believe I can make a significant difference to the outcome and timeframe of your claim or dispute. So why delay? Let’s see how I can help you today!

How I Can Help You

Why I Do It

I have been a Disputes and Claims Advocate for nearly a decade. Previously employed as an Operations Manager for a leading Melbourne law firm for many years, personal experience with my own total loss home and contents claim took my career in a new direction. Having seen first-hand the extraordinary effort, organisational skill, emotional resilience and in-depth expertise required to bring a complicated claim successfully home, I knew I could make a significant difference to others facing the same challenges. I also quickly realised that the homeowner had nowhere to turn to for appropriate advice and immediate help; that there was no equality, fairness or justice for the “little person”. I decided to do what I could to level the playing field and haven’t looked back since!

What My Clients Say

Often when I take on a new client, they are feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the process and task ahead of them. Whether it’s an insurance claim or building dispute, the critical importance of getting it right and keeping it on track can become stressful and unmanageable. But rather take my word for it, here is what my clients say about their personal experience with me and how I made a difference to their lives.

Era is absolutely brilliant!! She literally saved my young family’s life!

Era was referred to us by a hygienist during the latter stages of our claim when our insurer was refusing and delaying to undertake the necessary mould remediation and building repairs to our storm damaged home.

Marta & Vincent

We were very lucky to be referred to Era when we did. On the day we dialled her number, we were told by our insurance company that they are closing the case even though we still had mould in the house. We had been living in a hotel for weeks by then with our young family and were very close to nervous breakdown. Our insurance claim had already taken over our lives, stuff we had told the companies we were dealing with….. read more
