Insurers have now received 63,600 claims following ex-tropical Cyclone Alfred, the Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) has reported.
While an additional 10,000 claims were submitted over the weekend, the majority of all claims relate to food spoilage, wind damage and water ingress.
Insurers remain on the ground across the impact zone and will continue to support customers in-person over the coming weeks.
Home and business owners are also being urged to remain vigilant and on the lookout for ‘disaster chasers’ who may be looking to capitalise on this weather event and promise quick fixes.
