ABOUT US
The ASTA Philosophy
Only a person who strives to perform with integrity, respect and competence in every task will ever achieve the ultimate level of personalised service delivery for their Clients.
Rare exceptions aside, very few employees of major companies can maintain the highest level of service delivery consistently. However, to a small business owner, this is not only the key to business growth and success in a competitive market; it is also ASTA Group’s daily principle of operation.
ASTA uses this principle to combine the unmatched dedication of small business owners with national infrastructure to provide the highest level of service to our Clients.
Using this philosophy, ASTA Group has become a market leader in providing a personalised and empathetic service to discerning clients, where attention to detail, active claim progression and customer satisfaction are of paramount importance.

Peter Bellini began his Loss Adjusting career in 2019 and was soon exposed to major and complex losses in 2021 while dealing with damage caused by Cyclone Seroja in Western Australia. This was followed by managing claims for the catastrophic floods in Northern NSW and Queensland in 2022.
These experiences cemented Peter’s position as a formidable Loss Adjuster capable of handling complex and devastating losses, while helping insureds navigate the most challenging circumstances one is likely to encounter in a lifetime.
This management style, along with his business experience across multiple industries, was recognised by the board of directors in December 2024, and in 2026, Peter assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer, finalising the changes to upper management across the ASTA Group.
