The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) has officially launched its “Know Risk” website, designed to provide information about the practical and financial management of risk.

The website was first announced by ANZIIF CEO Joan Fitzpatrick in August last year, and has now been launched with content “in the aftermath of recent natural disasters”.

“Know Risk’s goal is to improve community resilience by providing easily accessible information and understanding about both practical and financial risk management in everyday situations and, as a result improve individual decision-making around personal risk,” Ms Fitzpatrick said in a statement.

“Know Risk is a network of information, tools and applications, designed to deliver interesting content about risk and insurance alongside useful information that assists people to avoid the risks they can control, and plan for those they can’t.”

The network includes practical tools and useful information such as a free “insurance tracker” mobile application that allows users to store all of their relevant policy and insurer information in one place.

It’s understood ANZIIF is now seeking industry backing to continue developing the facility.
