The Insurance Council of Australia is the representative body for the general insurance industry of Australia.
What we do
General insurance has a critical role in the economy, insulating individuals and businesses from the financial impact of loss or damage to their insured assets.
Our work with our members, consumer groups and all levels of government serves to support consumers and communities when they need it most.
How we do it
We’re committed to shaping positive outcomes for our members, our people and our communities and we’re able to achieve this through:
- fair policy outcomes
- effective member engagement, and
- purposeful advocacy.
We're the voice of a resilient Australia
We believe an insurable Australia is a resilient Australia – and it’s our purpose to be the voice for a resilient Australia.
