Disability and Aged Care Insurance Market Update
How can our disability and aged care insurance services help?
Over the course of 2020, care facilities including disability and aged care organisations have had to deal with many challenges including COVID-19, Royal Commissions and evolving legislation. To unpack how these challenges may affect risk management and insurance programs within the industry, Lyle Steffensen, Marsh’s Pacific Care Solutions Practice Leader has prepared a short Disability and Aged Care Insurance Market Update.
With proven experience as knowledgeable disability and aged care insurance brokers, we take a deep dive into the factors influencing the insurance market, locally, globally and in the Care Sector to help you understand:
- The Global Hardening Market and the reasons this is impacting the Pacific region;
- Why we’re seeing premium increases for particular classes of insurance in the Care Industry;
- A proposed 3 year road map to help your organisation develop a risk management and insurance strategy to navigate the hard market; and
- Key strategies to help you manage the conversation internally with your stakeholders and with insurers.
For these insights and more, see below. This video is 16 minutes long.
