Consumers will soon have access to high-quality, comparable data on life insurance claims and disputes after the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) issued a new reporting standard to the industry.

The release of APRA’s Life Insurance Reporting Standard LRS 750.0 Claims and Disputes will enhance the consistency and quality of life insurance data published through a ground-breaking program established jointly last year by APRA and ASIC.

The standard makes it mandatory for life insurers to report data on claims and disputes, and is a critical milestone on the path to delivering enhanced transparency and accountability through the regular publication of credible, reliable and comparable data.
