This is the final scheduled insuranceNEWS.com.au bulletin for 2016. We will return on January 30, with any significant industry news being covered by our Breaking News service during the recess.

insuranceNEWS.com.au continues to be the most popular news and information source for the industry in Australia and New Zealand. We have well over 22,000 subscribers from the local market and around the world.

Our comprehensive Monday bulletins and Breaking News service remain the information sources that insurance professionals – and other journalists – regard as the most accurate, relevant and reliable.

Our recent survey provided us with the views of some 13% of our readership – a total our marketing advisers say is unusually large and particularly reliable. We are now collating the results to provide guidance on ways to enhance our services to the industry.

We would like to thank our premium sponsors for their support during the year. They are vital contributors to the success of insuranceNEWS.com.au. They deserve your support because their advertising makes it possible for us to employ outstanding journalists.

We’d also like to acknowledge the industry leaders, managers and stakeholders from all branches of the industry who trust insuranceNEWS.com.au to report sensitively and professionally. We take that responsibility very seriously.

And we’d like to thank you, the reader, whose interest in our work and trust in our integrity makes working at insuranceNEWS.com.au so rewarding. 

The team at insuranceNEWS.com.au joins me in wishing you a safe and happy festive season.
