This podcast covers recent developments in Australia's insurance industry. Australian Super, facing criticism for long insurance claims processing times, is under scrutiny, with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission investigating nearly seven thousand delayed death benefit claims since 2019. In response, the super fund is moving some claims processing in-house to improve efficiency. Elsewhere, Club Marine is revamping its commercial boat insurance policies to better cater to both business and leisure vessel owners. Newly launched Marinex Underwriting, part of the Rhodian Group, is offering tailored marine insurance products to the Australian market. Finally, Marsh, a global insurance broker, will manage the Royal Australian Navy's Maritime Insurance Program, providing essential risk management for large-scale shipbuilding projects.n
