Client stories
We Know Insurance
Insurance is known for being complex. Making sense of the policy conditions, definitions, waiting periods, and exclusions is tough. The language and jargon in insurers’ Product Disclosure Statements can be confusing and difficult for people outside the insurance world to understand.
Our claims team has extensive insurance knowledge and is experienced in unravelling the complexities of insurance policies and dealing with insurers.
We've been in your shoes
Tim van Doore
PrincipalStream Financial's insurance claims service was born out of my personal experience when faced with a cancer diagnosis in 2013.
I was carrying a huge emotional load in the face of my unexpected diagnosis and was physically drained from going through treatment.
Despite experience working in the insurance industry, I found the process of making Trauma and Income Protection claims exhausting. The insurance claims were a constant stress at the back of my mind.
Following my recovery, I wanted to help ease the pressure of the claims process on others faced with an illness or injury.
In 2015, we introduced insurance claims as a service for not only our existing clients but anyone who feels overwhelmed by the claims process and needs help getting the best outcome from their insurer.
What can be one of the most daunting experiences of a lifetime is business as usual for our team.
You're not alone.
We go to bat with your insurer.
We take the burden of dealing with your insurer off your plate so you can focus on your well-being. Our team will leave no stone unturned to get you the insurance payout and benefits you are entitled to receive under the terms of your policy.
1. Book a call
Schedule a no-obligation 1-hour call to see how our expert team may be able to help progress your insurance claim.
2. Lodge Your Claim
We’ll guide you through every step of lodging your insurance claim and deal with the insurer and medical professionals on your behalf.
2. Focus on you
Focus on you and your family with peace of mind knowing that an experienced team is going to bat for you with the insurer to get the best possible financial outcome for you.

We were recommended Lachlan Money of Stream Financial in Buderim by our solicitor as we felt we needed some help with our financial future. He has consistently helped clarify our direction and ease our minds regarding our specific needs and has become our partner in all things super and advice. Lachlan and the team at Stream Financial have been understanding and professional in their dealings to help us gain our future financial direction.
Brett H.
We joined the Stream Financial team about 5 years ago and we are so glad we did. With their help, we now feel in control of our finances and our future as we creep towards that golden age of retirement. Regarding Simon's journey to accessing his income protection, the process was made simpler as each step was carefully explained and we felt thoroughly supported. Big thanks to all, in particular to Lachlan Money and Janis Glassop, for their help and guidance. Very appreciative that you are on our side.
Sharon H.
By far the best group of people I could ask for to lead me and my family through to a better financial future

Jarrod S.
Great experience speaking to Lachlan about two issues we had regarding Insurance and Super. Couldn't recommend them any higher
Christian T.
Helpful, knowledgeable, patient. We had a free, long, no-obligation meeting with Diane, where she took the time to listen and understand our situation. She explained that if we went ahead, the next steps would be a second meeting to compare different outcomes, depending on what options we chose to help us reach our financial goals, tailored to our specific situation and our level of comfort with risk; followed by a detailed proposal of how to accomplish the task. We found Diane to be knowledgeable, with an ability to explain complex information in an easily digestible manner.
Jane D.
Lachlan was an absolute delight to deal with from day one. He was so patient with me & was more than happy to walk me through any queries I had, always making himself available to me!
Dani M.
When I lost my husband , as well as being in grief I also had no confidence in my ability to manage my funds without him. Lachlan Money from Stream financial , as well as proving solid and intelligent advice for my family’s future financial success, was a genuinely warm and comforting support. I feel able to call upon Lachlan whenever I need assistance but rarely need to do so as his planning sessions with me describe a sensible and appropriate strategy towards prosperity with Stream Financial at my back.. I know I’m not doing this alone!
Lindsey N.
I was independently referred to Stream Financial Buderim by my accountant. Nick Tenuta undertook a review of my life insurances in order to make current and that I was not over insured paying out money for services I did not require. His professionalism, turn around time and constant engagement to keep me up to date on progress was all first class. I highly recommend these services.
Alex L.
Lachlan Money proved to be not only friendly and prompt in answering any of our questions but also very professional and knowledgeable when we were looking to transition to retirement. He gave us sound investment advice appropriate for our age and our future. I would not hesitate in recommending Lachlan to anyone looking for advice on their future wealth plans whether it be investing or retiring.
Christine G.
Max and I have been with Stream Financial for over a year now and cannot fault the service we have received. The staff are very helpful and should I have extra questions all I have to do is call and they help me out.I would not delay in recommending Stream Financial and their staff.
Lynette G.

I highly recommend everyone at Stream Financial. I feel so blessed to have found them to take care of my financial needs & I am just so grateful to them for making it so easy for me. They really listened & cared for my needs, organised my financials & gave me the security I desperately needed in my life. Di has set me up for life & I love her understanding & amazing mastery to make my financials work for me. Janis & Tim fought a battle for me that I shouldn't have needed to but did, & we won thanks to their incredible knowledge & perseverance. If you need any financial help, look no further as these are your professionals!
Jodie M.
Twelve months ago my wife and I decided to change our financial advisor. Initial phone calls and meetings with Diane went well, and we were not blinded by financial words or plans. We suggest anyone looking for financial advice to contact, Diane at Stream Financial

Clifford A.
We are retired and wanted to do better on our Super. We were apprehensive about going with a financial advisor, but found the people at Stream financial to be very professional and easy to deal with. Lachlan took time to explain the direction we should go and we are now in a better position. Very happy we made the decision to go with Lachlan and Stream Financial.

I recently met with Lachlan Money to assess my financial situation and plan for pre retirement and future estate planning. Lachlan was very helpful and understood my situation immediately. He was friendly, easy to discuss with and be open about these sometimes delicate matters. I appreciated the time and advice Lachlan gave me and will be pleased to engage his services in the future. I was also extremely surprised at the end of my visit to be told that the consultation was no charge. Thank you.

Janice is one of the most friendly, professional person we have ever dealt with, Janice would be a most valuable employee in any business.Thank You Janice All the very best in the future. Stay safe.
Colleen F.
We have had the good fortune of working with Janis Glassop over a period of time on a very complex and distressing case. I cannot recommend Janis enough. Janis has at all times gone above and beyond in her role representing us. She has been totally committed to our case and her professionalism, knowledge and efficiency has been outstanding. Janis also has a very caring manner and takes the time to get to know her clients, which has allowed us to put complete trust in her with very personal information. I highly recommend Janis and the whole team at Stream Financial.
Zita H.
I have been insured through Stream Financial for a number of years and have recently had to make a claim on my IP insurance. I was in a very vulnerable place at the time and through the interactions with the team at Stream Financial I felt acknowledged and supported through the whole process. Initially meeting with Lachlan who was patient and thorough through the initial first meetings and then had the fortune of having Janis assist me from there on with regular phone calls to just check in and see how i was feeling as well as liaising between the insurance company on my behalf until I felt able to do so myself. I would highly recommend the team at Stream Financial as in my experience, I was entirely supported through the claim process and feel that they put me, the client first.
Richard L.
I would like to thank Janis for her amazing help when our insurance provider took out $6474 in error from our bank account (as we have a monthly direct debit with them). It was very complicated but Janis made them fix their error and refund all of our money back to us. I'm sure if I was solely dealing with the insurance provider on my own that I would still be waiting for our money to be refunded. Words cannot express my gratitude.
Toni-Maree C.
I have been looked after by Streamfinancial for a few years now, and I am always impressed with the professionalism, knowledge, support, friendly & timely response, and especially the kindness shown by staff, who always bend over backwards to help. I would never have any problem in recommending their services, as my experience has always been positive.
Fran C.
Stuart and the team have been fantastic. Just on a year ago we sat down with Stuart and we went through our current situation, short and long term financial goals. He listened, gave us options, was patient and we felt comfortable on our goals. The team checked in frequently at the start to make sure we were able to get everything set up.A year on and I know we wouldn't be sitting where we are today without the help of Stuart and Stream Financial. Thanks guys!
stewart L.
What a great experience I had. The team members I met with only wanted to work out the best option/s for me. I wont hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Carolynne S.
I only have great things to say about Stream and the boys Conrad and Lachlan. Conrad especially helped me to see exactly where I need to be putting my money and it turns out its not all onto the mortgage. He showed me a strategy that not only secures my Super but also pays off my mortgage faster. Best money spent to get on track and learn more about how I spend my money and where its best spent. Thanks Guys, I am telling everyone about Stream.
Clay S.
I've known Tim and the team at Stream personally for many years, as I also worked in financial services. When I had to put in my own disability claim, even though i lived interstate, I knew who to turn to and they helped me (and my partner - its a difficult time) through the entire process through to a successful claim. With some much needed peace of mind Lachlan has since put us on the right track with a financial plan and we are both feeling confident about the future again. Thank you team Stream!
Gavin L.

Amazing service from the team at Stream Financial. From bookkeeping to accounting to business coaching. This is your one stop shop on the Sunshine Coast for small business to engage local professionals for their business needs.
Dave M.
Stream Financial is the only financial planning and accounting firm that I would consider. I've been using them for a few years now and have consistently received excellent advice tailor fitted for my needs. What always impresses me about Stream Financial is the extent to which i feel listened to. Everything they do is built around your goals and the level of risk you are comfortable with. I appreciated the way that costs are all outlined from the start so there are no surprises.Lastly, drinks on the deck proves that Stream Financial is really just in the real estate business! Every couple months they have an event on the deck for clients. Its relaxed but a great way to meet other motivated people in the community. Thanks again Stream Financial!
Andrew B.

We recently dealt with Lachlan at Stream Financial to obtain our personal insurances. His advice and communication were exceptional. He did all the hard work in working out the most suitable options.
