RACQ Insurance will underwrite pet cover for fellow mutual National Seniors Australia, an advocate body that offers services including insurance to its 130,000-plus members.

The insurer has been offering pet cover in Queensland since October 2015, and last year it began underwriting the product for motor club the RAC in WA.

“Underwriting our products outside our home state is a great way [to] build scale and increase profits to benefit our members right here in Queensland,” CEO John Myler said.
