Issues include increasing mental health claims and changes in workforce dynamics, prompting a redesign of TPD products. Secondly, HESTA superannuation fund is slashing insurance fees by 12% from July 1st. This will benefit members with lower fees for death cover, Total and Permanent Disablement and Income protection cover. Finally, Queensland Law Society (QLS) will reduce their professional indemnity insurance levies by 15% for the 2026/27 period, due to its strong position with Lexon Insurance and effective risk management practices.
