Summary

In this episode, host Paige Estritori highlights the critical increase in mental health-related claims confronting the Australian insurance industry. Claims have nearly doubled over the past few years, contributing to a record payment of $2.2 billion last year. Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claims - mainly driven by mental health issues - are now the leading cause amongst younger Australians. In response, the industry is exploring innovative strategies to support mental health challenges. Shifting focus, the QBE Insurance Group warns Australian landlords that they might face financial adversity if their rental operations are disrupted, advocating for increased insurance coverage. Estritori also covers a significant legal ruling favoring the City of Joondalup in a negligence case involving an e-scooter rider, a decision that might influence future liability assessments.n
