Australian Reinsurance Pool Corporation Chief Claims Officer introduced with preparations in full swing. We have launched our seminar series with the first NQ event on the re-insurance pool commencing next Thursday afternoon, 17th of October in Mackay! This seminar series, we are featuring two major topics: Insurance: Affordability and Accountability (NQ) and By-Laws: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (SEQ).
In our North Queensland seminar series, our panel of experts will explore Insurance – Affordability and Accountability. They will explore the re-insurance pool touted to assist with making insurance more affordable and also accountability of the insurers and brokers entrusted to provide the best value insurance cover terms for clients. They will explain the current status of the re-insurance pool and how to best utilise the options. They will also detail what measures are in place to disclose who is actually receiving your payment for insurance cover, what service is provided at each stage to receive any payments for managing your insurance policy and compulsory payment disclosure requirements along with additional best practice requirements to be totally transparent.
In case you missed the previous announcement, we introduced Laura Bos, General Manager of Strata Community Association (QLD), who will be speaking at all of our NQ events.
