They have distributed emergency grants to organisations who due to COVID have come under increased pressure for their services. The foundation gave an emergency life line to Geelong Mums with a $40,000 grant last month. This is just one example of the great work they do and we are proud to partner with such a fantastic organisation.

04.01.2022 There’s a great deal of confusion right now about Business Interruption cover, and whether small businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and associated government-imposed shutdowns have valid claims. Many businesses have seen revenues devastated over recent months as they have been prevented from trading to help keep on top of COVID-19 transmission, and those with insurance policies in place may have hoped to be able to recover some of their losses.

03.01.2022 Did you know that the laundry is a major cause of fire and flood claims? The household clothes dryer remains one of the most common causes of household fires, along with food left cooking on the stove. I was reminded of this due to an article I read on the News.com.au website. With the dryer, the issue is that lint builds up eventually overheating and catching fire. To greatly reduce the likelihood of this happening it is important to clean out the lint after each and every ...time you dry a set of clothes. This is not just an issue in homes but also in commercial laundries and dry cleaners. https://www.adroit.com.au/laundry-a-major-cause-of-fires-a/

02.01.2022 With a review of broker commissions looming, the National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) wanted hard evidence of the service that intermediaries provide. So it commissioned Deloitte Access Economics to produce a report on broker value and the much-anticipated study was published last week. NIBA says it is delighted with the comprehensive 66-page report, which is intended to provide a foundation for brokers to go into battle against those pushing for a ban on commissio...ns. The report which consulted brokers, insurers and SMEs shows that broker value goes way beyond the client. So why change a system that works for everyone? https://lnkd.in/gKgrPgR
