Supporting Vulnerable Customers

We aim to identify and support our vulnerable customers, including those affected by financial hardship and family violence. As part of this, we have developed a Supporting Vulnerable Customers Policy, which has been designed to comply with the National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) Insurance Brokers Code of Practice.

We are committed to exercising greater care when dealing with vulnerable customers.  A person may be vulnerable due to a range of factors, including:

  • age;

  • disability;

  • mental or physical health conditions;

  • family violence;

  • language barriers;

  • cultural background;

  • Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander status;

  • remote location; or

  • financial distress.

We invite you to share your circumstances with us, so that we may tailor our services to best suit your individual needs.
