Today, natural disasters cost the Australian economy $38 billion per year on average as per a recent Deloitte report. This cost is estimated to increase to $73 billion per year by 2060 even under a low emissions scenario. This problem becomes even more pertinent for businesses in Brisbane as the city is constantly exposed to the risk of tropical storms and other natural disasters, making Greater Brisbane one of the regions with the highest loss potential.

Crucial Insurance is a multi-award winning Parametric Insurance specialist
Parametric Insurance lets you obtain coverage for all natural catastrophic perils, across all trade sectors and geographies, irrespective of whether they have received losses or not. Enquire now to discover how Parametric Insurance can work for your business in Brisbane.
How can Parametric Insurance benefit Brisbane businesses?
Essentially, Parametric Insurance is an index-based solution that works like a guaranteed payment received by you should certain events, such as a natural disaster, occur.
Unlike traditional insurance solutions that will only pay you if losses occur, Parametric Insurance payouts are triggered by specific events, such as floods.
These events must be objective, independently verifiable and transparent. A simplified example of this is if there is a major flood event, your business could be entitled to a guaranteed X amount of dollars given that specific conditions are met (such as flood levels reaching a specified depth within a certain geographic area).
Parametric Insurance can be useful if your business is highly dependent on plant, products and equipment, such as:
This is not an extensive list. Please contact us to see if Parametric Insurance is right for your Brisbane business.
Through Parametric Insurance, our clients are able to bypass the complexities of the investigation process when making claims. Parametric Insurance can give you peace of mind through guaranteed and efficient payouts.
How does Parametric Insurance work?
As an index-based solution, Parametric Insurance only provides coverage if certain events are met. These ‘events’ are based on a measurement agreed upon between you and the insurer.
For example, in the case of a flood, you can only receive your payout if the flood reaches a certain measurement of depth, or in the case of a cyclone, the cyclone has to fall from a maximum distance from your insured location.
Thanks to constant improvements in technology and AI, the data used to determine events allows for more accurate pricing and bespoke solutions for our Brisbane business clients.
