Insurance complaints

There is a General Insurance Enquires and Complaint Scheme (providing a free national service for consumers) that is set up to resolve disputes between policy holders and their insurance companies. The scheme also provides advice and information about general insurance matters.

Consumers are asked to ensure that they have given their insurance company a reasonable time to resolve a complaint. A Code of Practice (general insurance) requires all insurers to have an Internal Dispute Resolution process in place, however the service is not applicable to residential strata title and small business policies.

If you are still not satisfied call Insurance Enquires and Complaints Ltd on Free Call 1300 363683 and explain your problem to a consumer consultant. Consultants from the Insurance Enquires and Complaints Service will assist you with taking your dispute to a Claims Review Panel or Referee for determination.

The service provider can also arrange for an interpreter if necessary.
