Our history

Unique name, unique heritage.

Our tradition of working closely with clients is reflected in our name.

We began in 1976 as the Oil Agents Mutual Provident Society (OAMPS) to source a better insurance deal for members of the fuel transport industry.  Our solution was an unprecedented success.

It soon became clear that many other industries needed similar specialised insurance services – developed by people who understood their industry and its needs.

By 1989 when we listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, OAMPS had become a mainstream insurance broker.  A loyal and growing clientele soon propelled us into the ranks of Australia’s Top 200 listed companies.

In 2006 we proudly became part of the Wesfarmers Group.

Today, OAMPS Insurance Brokers has affiliations with more than 100 industry organisations and we service over 100,000 clients.

Though we are now part of one of Australia’s most dynamic companies, the traditions established as a mutual society are still embedded in our DNA.  Our core strengths, and the foundations of our continuing success, remain our closeness to clients and deep understanding of their needs.
