ABOUT

A considered approach to insurance advice

We combine experience and care to deliver personal insurance advice that provides clarity and peace of mind.
OUR STORY

Providing clear, reliable insurance advice.

DSM & Associates is a Perth-based insurance advisory firm established in 1998 by David Meek when he recognised the value for clients in discussing insurance separate from wealth accumulation. The business was built on the premise of providing clients with straightforward advice that was relevant to their evolving needs, supporting clients to make informed decisions.

Since joining DSM & Associates in 2024, Blair Jamieson has aimed to maintain and build upon the reputation earned as dedicated insurance professionals, and ensure the business keeps pace with advancing technology and the opportunities these present to improve and safeguard the client experience.

Our “Why”

Delivering peace of mind

The team at DSM & Associates believe that true peace of mind can only be achieved when the hard conversations and decisions have been made and appropriate plans are in place. Our purpose is to help our clients achieve that peace of mind by guiding them through the process, providing clear advice along the way, and supporting them when they need it most.
