Senate Inquiry into the General Insurance Industry

The Financial Rights has extensive advice and casework experience dealing with consumers of general insurance in Australia. Based on that experience we have made many recommendations to the Senate Economics References Committee regarding the following broad problems facing consumers of insurance:

• Reasons behind and solutions to increasing insurance costs;
• The lack of transparency and contestability in insurance pricing;
• Problems surrounding price comparison websites;
• The need for Unfair Terms protections in insurance contracts;
• Standard cover and product suitability; and
• Big data and the future of insurance.
