Contestable broking platforms come under the microscope in the latest edition of Insurance News (the magazine), which is being mailed out this week.

The June/July issue includes in-depth examinations of the latest developments in premium rates pre-July 1, some advice from veteran brokers on what broking in a hard market will be like, and why some New Zealand insurance companies are in difficulties as a result of the Christchurch earthquakes.

While Joan Fitzpatrick is a familiar figure around the industry, you’ll be surprised and intrigued as the CEO of the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance talks about the challenges of delivering professional education in a rapidly changing world.

From US bushfire research that has lessons for Australia through to pages that illustrate the industry at work and at play, Insurance News (the magazine) is an excellent complement to our online news bulletins.

And with more than 7000 subscribers across Australia, it’s the largest-circulation magazine tailored exclusively for the general insurance industry.
