25.01.2022 In recent days, weve heard a number of reports of people stating that the requirement to wear a face mask is a breach of their human rights. However, this is a... lawful directive that does not violate any rights set out under Victorian or international human rights law. Weve put together some responses to the frequently asked questions were hearing. https://www.humanrights.vic.gov.au//the-requirement-to-we/ See more

25.01.2022 knowmore welcomes the announcement today from Senator Anne Ruston that the Federal Government plans to strip organisations of their charitable status if they do... not take reasonable steps to join the National Redress Scheme. You can read the minister's full statement here: https://ministers.dss.gov.au/media-releases/6546. This news will be welcomed by many survivors, who have continued to advocate for this action from the Federal Government. We are also pleased to see that more institutions have signed up to the Scheme, and hope it results in decisions for survivors whose redress applications have been put on hold. We also stand with those survivors whose named institutions have not yet joined. If you would like to talk to knowmore about how we can assist you, please go to www.knowmore.org.au or call us on 1800 605 762. Australian Families

23.01.2022 Insurance tips: How to find out what you’re entitled to: Once you’ve got your insurer identified and the policy documents in front of you, it’s time to work out what you’re entitled to. Read the fine print on all of your documents. If you’ve lost everything, it’s worth trying to make an insurance claim on all available policies.... This may include: - home and contents insurance; - landlords insurance; - car insurance; - farming insurance; - accident and trauma insurance; and - business expenses insurance If you’ve been injured or sick and cannot work, you can also look into making a claim on your income protection insurance under your superannuation. Make a list of your assets that have been damaged or lost and identify which policy will cover that asset. Use bank statements to check which policies are being paid regularly. Cross-check the policies to understand the insurance amounts. Some insurance policies contain exclusion clauses which are often difficult to interpret, and are sometimes misinterpreted, even by insurers. It’s important to know whether an exclusion clause might apply before you lodge your insurance claim so read your PDS thoroughly and don't just rely on an insurer to tell you what you're entitled to. If you're still unsure, seek expert advice. #iknowalawyer #communitylegalcentres #freelegal See more

22.01.2022 Where is it? Tips on how to find your insurance policy You may be entitled to make an insurance claim on a number of different policies for different reasons. The first step is figuring out what policies you have, and with which insurers. ... You may have lost your physical copy of your insurance policy, so we recommend trying the following, especially if you're not sure who your insurer is: - searching through your emails, using terms including enquiry, PDS/Product Disclosure Statement, Policy Schedule, Quote, and Certificate. These are pretty common terms in most insurance policy emails; - checking your phone records, especially if you recently changed your policy or insurer; - checking your bank records to see which premiums are being paid; and - talking to your friends and/or family did you use the same insurer to get a family discount? Did you take a recommendation from a friend? If none of these work, you can try contacting the Insurance Council of Australia (ICA). ICA have a dedicated insurance hotline which you can call on 1800 734 621. If you don’t have your policy documents but you know who you insurer is, give them a call. They should be able to pull up your policy by you providing your details and passing a few security questions. Once you’ve made contact, ask for two very important documents: 1. Policy Schedule / Certificate of Insurance this will tell you how much you’re insured for, and 2. Policy Document / Product Disclosure Statement this may well be available on the insurer’s website.

06.01.2022 Tips to prepare an insurance claim: You should make an insurance claim as soon as possible after the event, but you need to be prepared before you do so.... Collect as much evidence as possible to prove your loss, or at least list all possessions you believe have been damaged or destroyed. We suggest: - taking photos of the damage immediately - reviewing your phone or emails for any receipts for purchases you may have made with big retailers. Stores like Good Guys, JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, Bunnings often use e-receipts - gathering photos you may have on your phone or in albums that shows the condition of certain things before they were destroyed (this can include your home, furniture, appliances, jewellery, etc.) - locating similar items in catalogues that you consider best matches your lost/damaged item This can be tough when your house has been hit by disaster, so ask your insurer what evidence they might need. #iknowalawyer #freelegal #communitylegalcentres
