Since our foundation in 1972, Markey has grown from serving the insurance needs of a small group of clients within the Newcastle and Hunter Region to become one of the largest family owned and managed insurance brokerages in Australia. Markey provides insurance solutions for individuals, small businesses and corporate operations all over Australia.

Proudly providing Corporate Insurance solutions to CMCA since 2015, we are now excited to partner with CMCA and Emergence Insurance to offer a Personal Cyber Insurance solution to CMCA members.

Stephen & Simmone Markey, the operations principals, are members of the CMCA and owners of an RV so understand the dependence travellers have on their IT devices and how a Cyber attack or identity theft can spoil a great trip.

Today, technology is part of our everyday lives. Whether it’s how we communicate, purchase items, make a booking and/or coordinate our busy schedules, we are heavily reliant on technology to make things possible.

Our dependence on the internet, and the exponential growth of social media and online booking platforms, has resulted in people and places being much more interconnected. This constant use of online tools and resources has introduced new risks into our homes, motorhomes and everyday lives that must be diligently managed.

When travelling around Australia or even the World we are constantly connecting to random Wi-Fi networks which are simply not secure from malicious cyber hackers. Connecting to an unsecure network can be very risky and open your laptop, iPhone or iPad to easy access by malicious hackers.

If a Cyber hacker gains access to your phone, tablet or laptop, below are some examples of what can happen, and these events can have very unpleasant consequences.
