Hutch offers quotes exclusively through licensed insurance brokers.
We are fully digital. Brokers can access our products via Sunrise, SCTP, Unmand and soon via our broker portal. Being fully digital enables us to offer great service including one-business-day referrals.
If you need to get set up we can send you our TOBA and banking details via this request form.
We do not deal directly with the public. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer direct advice or quotes. If you are a strata committee member, owner or builder, don’t hesitate to contact your insurance broker to obtain a Hutch quote. If you do not have a broker, you can find one through the National Insurance Broker Association ‘Find a Broker‘ website.

Introducing Dawn
What is Dawn?
Dawn is Hutch's email ingestion service. Email your client's proposal form to Dawn in any format, using any market form. Dawn reads the submission, populates the Sunrise quote form automatically, and places the quote in your Sunrise import queue. You review, declare, and bind. No re-keying required at either end.
Submissions are processed within minutes. If any data is missing, you can complete the fields after opening the quote in Sunrise.
Dawn is available for Residential Strata, Professional Indemnity, and Management Liability.
How do I submit a quote via Dawn?
- Email your proposal form - any format, any market form to dawn@ai.hutchunderwriting.com.au
- Dawn processes your submission and emails you the premium and quote number
- Open Ebix Sunrise Exchange and retrieve the quote from your import queue
- Review the pre-populated data, confirm the declaration, and bind
That's it. No Hutch-specific form required.
Can I use my own proposal form with Dawn?
Yes. Dawn will process any market form. You do not need to use a Hutch-specific form. For Professional Indemnity, using the Hutch PI form improves accuracy (but it is not required).
What formats does Dawn accept?
Dawn accepts PDF, Word, Excel, plain text, and email body text. PDF is optimal.
How long does Dawn take to process a submission?
Submissions are processed within minutes. You will receive an email with your premium and quote number once the quote is ready in your Sunrise import queue. If a submission requires underwriter review, our team will respond to you directly via Sunrise, within four business hours (or within one business day during peak periods).
Do I need to be an Ebix Sunrise user to use Dawn?
Yes. Dawn populates the Ebix Sunrise Exchange quote form and places quotes in your Sunrise import queue. You will need an active Sunrise account to retrieve and bind Dawn quotes. Dawn does not work with SCTP.
What if I don't have Sunrise integrated with my BMS?
We recognise that about 5% of brokers don't have access to Sunrise via their BMS. In this case, Ebix can offer a standalone Sunrise portal. If that interests you, we'd happily introduce you to the right person at Ebix. Contact our broker support team.
