US-owned Liberty International Underwriters (LIU) has brought its accident and health (A&H) insurance products and services to Australia.

The suite is designed to inform, assist and protect people and their companies in Australia and abroad.

“The new LIU A&H offering is very much an extension of what we already do well – look after our customers,” Asia-Pacific President and MD Mike Abdallah said.

The product offers corporate travel and group personal accident and sickness covers to a wide range of industries. It also provides full medical benefits for Australian employees on overseas assignments or overseas foreign workers for Australian companies.

Around-the-clock integrated emergency and claims assistance is available under Liberty’s partnership with Sydney-based Fullerton Health Corporate Services.

LIU provides a range of specialty products distributed via the independent broker network, and is part of Liberty Mutual, based in Boston.
