Did you know that insurance fraud imposes additional costs on honest policyholders? Insurance premiums are calculated on risk. So fraud is really a cost to our local community and to every policyholder.

​

While we focus on paying claims, as a responsible community insurer we also manage levels of risk to control premium costs and to protect honest policyholders. The majority of claims are legitimate, a small number are suspicious and are referred through to investigators for further analysis.

​

The good news is that community perceptions are changing. People who do the right thing don't want to subsidise fraudulent claimants.We're encouraging the community to help prevent insurance fraud.
