Insurance Services

The University carefully manages its insurance policies to protect its people, assets and activities.  The design of the insurance program varies from year to year and takes account of changing University activities, changes in the marketplace and other factors - both internal and external.  The insurance program requires substantial preparation and planning, from design and negotiation to ongoing management.

What we do

  • Design, purchase and implement the University insurance program, including the University's travel and personal accident cover
  • Manage the payment of claims below the University deductible
  • Coordinate between the University and the Insurers
  • Manage the insurance service providers
  • Internally allocate, invoice and provide payment to the insurers of insurance premiums
  • Managed the named locations of the University

In the event of a loss or a circumstance occurring for which the University might be covered, we work with you to:

  • Minimise potential financial loss 
  • Ensure the University's interest is protected
  • Appoint relevant professionals where necessary (legal advisors, loss adjusters, technical experts)
