Council is partnering with GenWest and the Community Recovery Committee on the Maribyrnong Insurance Project to make insurance information more accessible to the community.

The following organisations are also supporting the project:

  • Cohealth
  • Consumer Action Law Centre
  • Disaster Legal Help Victoria
  • Financial Counselling Victoria
  • The Red Cross
  • West Justice.

The latest phase of the project included interviews with impacted community as well as a desktop review of existing resources, such as the Inquiry into Insurers' Responses to 2022 Major Flood Claims Report and the transcripts from the public hearings held as part of this inquiry.

The following initiatives have been identified following the needs assessment:

  • Development of an accessible and user-friendly insurance resource, developed by experts with a community voice

  • Insurance expert panel discussion

  • Videos to provide the information in another format for accessibility.

The resource and panel discussion will be held on 28 March from 5.30pm at the Maribyrnong Community Centre. All are welcome.

The insurance guide will be accessible from this page once developed.
