About The Organisation

Est. in 2000, husband and wife team Denise and Peter Phillips (Dec), launched their Mortgage Choice franchise and 25 years later, The Gardian Group now consists of a few Phillips brothers; Luke heading up Gardian Insurance, Ben - Gardian Finance & Financial Planning and another Ben (not a brother!) Kerrisk in Gardian Real Estate.

We pride ourselves on living our values by being the leaders in our respective fields, enjoying our working journey whilst supporting not only one another, but also our Mackay Regional community. Our Gardian Family Fun Day's raising much needed funds for the Mackay Hospital Foundation as well as monthly contributions - and as a group we also donated quarterly to the Mackay Community Foundation.

Yet none of this would be possible without our amazing team. People like Zac, who started as a junior four years ago and is now an Account Manager, managing his own portfolio and team and is studying towards his Diploma. It’s people like Zac who have driven our metamorphosis and we support them with workplace innovations. For instance, every new hire is assigned a buddy to help them in their first few months. We have split our workforce into small agile teams, with their own names, goals, and plans to give people a clearer vision and focus. With our vision to be the ‘small giants’ in the Mackay regional community, our long-term goal is to continue growing by at least 15% each year.
