Insurance Protection for Accidental Death and Loss of Income for groups of employees and members

    Group Personal Accident and Sickness (GPA) is a general insurance product widely used in Australia  as an employee benefit to provide security and peace of mind to employees whilst enhancing the resilience of an organisation. The product is also widely utilised in the Industrial Relations environment as the ‘go to’ vehicle for delivering Income Protection within Enterprise Bargaining Agreements (EBA’s) to workforces with Union membership and affiliation.

    The product is highly customisable, so everything from the duration that benefits are payable, to the amount of income to be replaced, to the hours per day of coverage, are all able to be tailored to be bespoke and ensure all required needs can be met to guarantee support and cover to employees and members - when it’s needed most.

    Our services

    • Member Care – a tailored GPA offering with enhanced additional services and benefits for employers and members

    • Program Review, Design, Development, and Implementation Capability

    • Claims Consulting, Management, and Advocacy services

    We recently had our Workers’ Compensation and Group Personal Accident program innovatively dual marketed by Lockton, saving us over $1m for our upcoming renewal.

    As part of a global push towards a decarbonised grid, renewable project developers and investors are navigating increasingly complex risks, often beyond what standard project planning and contractual counterparty negotiations can manage.

    Both the frequency and sophistication of ransomware attacks are rising. Affected businesses can be tempted to authorise requested ransom payments to renormalise operations as fast as possible.
