Nicole Bendeich, a proud Wiradjuri woman based in Sydney, is a respected financial adviser and founder of Calibre Life – a boutique advice firm that reflects her commitment to practical, inclusive, and client-first risk advice. Her work has been recognised with industry awards, including selection for the CALI ReCALIbrate grant in 2024, celebrating her leadership and advocacy within the profession.
Calibre Life is the culmination of Nicole’s extensive industry experience across advice, underwriting strategy and claims navigation. She works with families, business owners, and professionals – particularly younger Australians and primary caregivers – to design protection strategies that make sense, provide flexibility, and genuinely support people through life’s unpredictable moments.
Known for her down-to-earth style and strong technical skills, Nicole makes complex insurance understandable. She’s especially adept at negotiating cover when medical or income circumstances are less than straightforward and is a passionate advocate for ensuring women and gig workers are not left out of the protection conversation.
Beyond her client work, Nicole is a regular speaker at industry events and actively supports the growth of the advice profession – mentoring newer advisers, contributing to licensee forums, and helping shape a more accessible and values-led future for life insurance.
