Quote attributable to Andrew Hall, CEO, Insurance Council of Australia:

The consultations are an opportunity for insurers and the ICA to speak directly to customers about their personal circumstances and claim progress.

Insurers can assist homeowners impacted by the Halloween Hailstorm who would like a better understanding of rebuilding timeframes and agreement of scopes of work.

The insurance industry knows the ongoing impact the Halloween Hailstorms have had on the Ipswich region. These consultations will help insurers and customers understand what’s needed to complete repairs and finalise claims.

Insurers have received more than 42,000 claims to date, with more than 2,000 claims lodged in the past eight weeks. The current estimated loss is at $980 million.
