Supporting Vulnerable Customers

Prioritising the well being and safety of our customers is deep-rooted in our D.N.A.  Vulnerability comes in many shapes and forms and we will always strive to support customers in difficult times with sensitivity, flexibility, empathy and care.

 

FAMILY VIOLENCE POLICY 


We recognise that family, domestic and financial abuse is a serious and sensitive issue. We encourage customers experiencing family violence to notify us of that fact by whatever means they feel comfortable.
 

We provide our customer-facing employees (including our claims, sales and complaints staff) with appropriate training so they can identify and support customers who are affected by family and domestic violence with extra care and flexibility.
 

You can find out about the support we will offer you, along with additional information regarding support services
by downloading and reading our Family Violence Policy.

Mental Health

This includes fast-tracking of claims if you have an urgent financial need and providing payment options for your claims excess.
