Episode Synopsis

In this week's Financial Services Online podcast, Paige Estritori discusses recent updates in the Australian insurance sector. The report covers financial strategies devised in response to challenges from high natural disaster risk areas, and the potential creation of a $30.15 billion mitigation fund. Another focus area is the rise of mental health claims, with efforts to establish a standardized framework for such claims under the leadership of the Council of Australian Life Insurers. Surging insurance costs are an issue for Australian farmers, as extreme weather events become more frequent and severe, prompting exploration for sustainable solutions. Lastly, sustainable farming is in the spotlight with WFI Insurance and AgCarE promoting green farming and offering premium reductions for farmers who adopt these practices.
