House of Representatives

The House Standing Committee on Economics will hold public hearings in Cairns and Townsville, Queensland, as part of its inquiry into insurers' responses to 2022 major floods claims.

  • Cairns RSL Club, Wednesday 24 July
  • Townsville RSL Club, Thursday 25 July

Committee Chair Daniel Mulino MP said the Committee hoped to learn from northern communities' claims experiences following recent disasters, including cyclones. "We are also interested in evidence of any improvements by the insurance industry since the Deloitte report on insurers' responses to the 2022 floods and the related 2023 ASIC report on claims handling."

Invitations have been issued to councils, business associations and community groups. Other organisations and individuals that wish to give evidence can email their interest to the Committee secretariat at
