Guild Insurance

Your partner in protecting early learning

Running an early learning service is more than just a business; it’s a calling. Whether it’s caring for children, supporting families, meeting regulations, or managing budgets, the responsibilities can feel endless. At Guild Insurance, we understand what it takes to keep your business running. That’s why we offer a tailored policy to help with the the load you carry.


We’re 100% Australian-owned, with local teams managing everything from policy setup to claims. That means you get prompt service, timely support and a real understanding of the work you do and the risks you face – because when it comes to safeguarding the children in your care and your livelihood, you need more than just an insurer. You need a partner who knows your world inside and out.
