In this episode of the Daily Financial Services News Wrap, host Paige Estritori discusses recent financial developments impacting both Australian and global markets. AUSactive, Australias leading exercise and active health body, teams up with Marsh to offer a tailored insurance solution for fitness professionals in Australia. The policy offers lower premiums, a significant indemnity limit, and access to risk management resources. AUSactive also introduces additional benefits for Professional Plus members. Internationally, healthcare premiums are set to increase by 10.3% this year, extending a trend of yearly hikes, with the most significant increases in the Asia Pacific region. Lastly, a legislative change permitting health insurers in Australia to cover natural therapies like Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi could provide a more holistic approach to health and open new opportunities for fitness professionals.
