Insurance Council monitoring severe weather warnings

The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) is closely monitoring the severe weather and flood warnings currently in place across south-east Queensland and New South Wales.

The ICA understands at least 14 recovery centres, including Lismore and Mullumbimby, have closed in the past 24-hours to ensure the safety of staff and community members.

Insurance assessors who have been on the ground for the past month are following direction from emergency services and will be standing by to move back into flood-impacted communities once it is safe to do so.
