Steadfast Group Limited (ASX:SDF) is the largest general insurance broker network and the largest group of insurance underwriting agencies in Australasia, headquartered in Sydney, Australia. It is a broker-intermediary rather than a risk carrier: the Steadfast Network comprises 414 independent brokerages placing approximately $12.7 billion in gross written premium, alongside 31 underwriting agencies writing roughly 100 products across business pack, liability, professional indemnity, cyber, construction, marine, aviation, farm, strata, motor and home and contents lines, plus complementary businesses covering premium funding (IQumulate), life insurance, workplace risk, legal and compliance. Its trading technology is the Steadfast Client Trading Platform (SCTP), launched in 2009, which lets network brokers send one question set to a panel of insurers for instant comparative quotes and which transacted over $1.5 billion in GWP in CY25 across 9 insurer lines and 23 connected partners; SCTP and the INSIGHT policy management platform are being consolidated into a broader "Steadfast Apps" broking platform. API posture, recorded honestly - Steadfast Group publishes NO developer portal, NO API documentation and NO specification of any kind, and a full crawl of all 311 pages in the public sitemap returned zero references to a developer portal, REST API, OpenAPI or Swagger. Two genuinely machine-readable surfaces nonetheless exist and neither is announced anywhere. The consumer Flood Risk Tracker is backed by a public, anonymous, undocumented JSON API that resolves Australian addresses against the national G-NAF dataset and returns Swiss Re river-flood and storm-surge risk layers, returning RFC 9457 problem details and advertising api-supported-versions 1.0; the OpenAPI in this record was derived from the tool's own client JavaScript and from live probes. Separately, idp.steadfast.com.au is an Okta-hosted OpenID Connect provider publishing a complete anonymous discovery document with PKCE S256 and DPoP, though client registration is commercially gated. The commercial surfaces remain closed: broker.steadfast.com.au is a credentialed broker login wall, and api.steadfast.com.au and api-sf.steadfast.com.au are live but undocumented hosts returning HTTP 403 at the root. Insurer and partner connectivity into SCTP is arranged commercially, not through self-serve onboarding. The company's most notable standards signal is governance rather than implementation: founder, Managing Director and CEO Robert B. Kelly AM is Chair of the ACORD Board in New York, though no ACORD, AL3, ACORD XML or NGDS implementation detail is published anywhere on the public site. Australia has the legal machinery for open insurance but no live obligation - the Consumer Data Right was designated to extend to general insurance and then deferred, so no regulatory forcing function pushes a broker network of this scale toward a public API.
