Southeastern Australia has always been prone to natural disasters. In fact, the country’s top five most expensive natural disasters have happened in this part of the country, including the 1999 hailstorms in Sydney and the 2019/2020 Black Summer that affected New South Wales along with other parts of the country. Furthermore, research suggests that more frequent and intense natural disasters fuelled by climate change are forecast to cost New South Wales between $15.8 and $17.2 billion a year by 2061. This will be more than three times the current damage bill from weather-related destruction that the Australian state faces.

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 Sydney.
What is Parametric Insurance for Sydney businesses?
Essentially, Parametric Insurance is an index-based solution that works as 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:

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 Sydney business clients.
What does Parametric Insurance cover?
As stated, Parametric Insurance provides coverage for all natural catastrophic perils, across all trade sectors and geographies.
