Our Self-Insurance Pathway

    Lockton has in excess of 25 years experience in assisting large corporations determine whether self-insurance or Comcare is the suitable workers compensation insurance option.

    Why Self-Insurance  Workers’ compensation remains one of the largest insurance costs for employers and self-insurance can provide significant cost savings. Employers who implement a best practice framework for safety, injury and claims management can see improved cash flow benefits.

    The Roadmap to Self-Insurance  Lockton propose a 4-step process for organisations to become and maintain self-insurance. Each step requires complete buy in from a company to ensure a seamless transition out of your relevant workers’ compensation scheme.

    The Purpose of Self-Insurance  Self-insurance allows an employer to carry their own financial risk and not be burdened by poor performing clients within their industry across state-based schemes. Clients are responsible for the management of their own claims and the payment of their claim liabilities.

    Reducing the cost of insuring firefighting aircraft

    As the global climate shifts, wildfires are becoming more frequent and intense. The economic and environmental consequences can be devastating, and the need for effective firefighting aircraft has never been greater. Purpose-built firefighting aircraft and their pilots stand at the forefront of this battle, providing essential service in saving property, forestry, and lives, but traditional insurance models have made insuring these aircraft prohibitively expensive. It is essential that insurers, brokers, and insurance buyers work together to improve the insurance conditions for these operations as the need to fight wildfires is set to rise further.
