Zurich's new Vulnerable Customer Framework
In accordance with the new 2020 General Insurance Code of Practice, Zurich has launched our new Vulnerable Customer Framework, so we can better support Customers impacted by factors such as age, language barriers, financial distress, family violence or a physical or mental health condition. Vulnerable Customers often require a higher level of care and it is important they are treated fairly, with sensitivity, dignity, and respect.
Our Vulnerable Customer Framework has been designed to comply with the new Australian General Insurance Code of Practice (The Code) and aligns to Zurich’s values and approach to keep the Customer front of mind, in everything we do.
All Zurich General Insurance employees have completed the mandatory ANZIIF Code of Practice training so we can support vulnerable customers when required, however as part of our framework we have introduced Vulnerability Specialists to act as an escalation point if a Customer requires management from a specialist.
Interaction with you, our Broker Partners.
Zurich has established key policies and materials to guide us all in handling Vulnerable Customers with a high level of care and sensitivity. The Zurich General Insurance Family Violence Policy ensures affected customers are treated with dignity and respect.
We ask that you please make us aware of any potential Vulnerable Customers that Zurich employees may have an interaction with so we can ensure that we provide them with the appropriate level of care and support they may require.
