Product Oversight and Governance

We distribute insurance products on behalf of insurers through licensed insurance brokers. We are committed to supporting fair customer outcomes and ensuring products are distributed to customers they are intended for.

Our approach

We have controls in place to help ensure that the insurance products we distribute:

  • are designed for clearly identified groups of customers
  • are likely to meet the needs and objectives of those customers
  • provide appropriate value
  • are distributed in a way that aligns with their intended use

Customer outcomes are considered throughout the life of each product.

Key controls

Product design and approval

We work with insurers to understand who each product is designed for. Products and material changes are reviewed before distribution, with final approval provided by the insurer.

Distribution through brokers

Our products are distributed exclusively through licensed insurance brokers under agreed terms. Brokers must meet our distribution requirements and understand the types of customers the products are suitable for.

Ongoing monitoring

We monitor products to help ensure they continue to perform as expected and remain appropriate for the intended customers. This includes reviewing claims, complaints and other relevant information and sharing insights with insurers.

Product changes or withdrawal

Where issues are identified, products may be updated, distribution arrangements adjusted, or products withdrawn where appropriate.

Target Market Determinations (TMDs)

A Target Market Determination is prepared for each retail insurance product we distribute and made available on our website. The TMD outlines:

  • who the product is designed for
  • who the product is not suitable for
  • how the product can be distributed

TMDs are reviewed when required, and significant dealings outside a TMD are reported in line with regulatory requirements.

A TMD is not part of the insurance contract, customers should refer to the relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for full details of the product.
