Federal Government's enquiry into the insurance industry

We have just had our attrention bought to the Parliamentary Inquiry into the operation of the insurance industry during disaster events.

To gauge community concerns relating to this inquiry, the Committee is conducting an online survey. The survey is targeting members of the community who have made a disaster-related claim on their insurance policies in the last 5 years. Responses are due by Friday 15 July 2011.

The Committee cannot investigate or make rulings on particular insurance claims, but invites submissions which address the processes of insurance claims and dispute resolution, and invites policy holders to complete the online survey.
