Omnisure Insurance & Risk Advisors is pleased to announce the acquisition of Rest Assured Insurance Services, a respected brokerage led by Patrick “Paddy” Norton.

For over a decade, Rest Assured has built strong, personal relationships with its clients across commercial, trade, strata and personal lines. That client-first philosophy is one we share — and it’s exactly why this partnership makes so much sense.

Joining Omnisure means Rest Assured clients retain the personal service they value, now backed by the scale and depth of one of Sydney’s leading independent brokerages. As part of a group advising around 3,000 SME, not-for-profit and corporate clients, Rest Assured clients will gain access to Omnisure’s broader panel of insurers and our specialist divisions, including:

• Financial Lines — specialist expertise across professional indemnity, management liability, directors’ & officers’ and cyber cover.
• Workers’ Compensation — a dedicated consulting division delivering premium optimisation, classification reviews, claims management and return-to-work strategies across all states.
• Premium Funding — flexible options to spread insurance costs into manageable monthly instalments, easing cash flow.

To ensure a seamless transition, Paddy will work alongside our team through a structured handover period, personally introducing clients to their new Omnisure account managers.

A word from our CEO, Schalk Van Der Merwe:

“We’re delighted to welcome Rest Assured’s clients to the Omnisure family. Paddy has built something special — a business grounded in trust, care and genuine relationships. Our commitment is to protect that legacy while giving every client the depth of expertise, broader market access and specialist capability — across financial lines, workers’ compensation and premium funding — that a business of our scale can provide.”

From Paddy Norton, Principal of Rest Assured Insurance Services:

“Handing over a business you’ve cared for over many years is never a decision taken lightly. What gave me confidence was finding a partner who shares my values and will look after my clients as I have. Omnisure’s scale, specialist teams and genuine care made them the right home for Rest Assured, and I’ll be working closely with the team to make sure every client feels well looked after through the transition.”

Paddy Norton, Principal, Rest Assured Insurance Services

We look forward to continuing to serve the Rest Assured community with the same care and dedication — now backed by the full strength of Omnisure.
