The national Insurance Fraud Hotline is an Australia-wide service designed to give members of the public the chance to take action against insurance fraud.
Insurance fraud comes at a huge cost to the community - now empowered through the national Insurance Fraud Hotline to act and do something about it.
This service is impartial and independent and has no ties to any insurance company. We will securely gather and provide tip-off information to the insurance companies but we ourselves will not investigate suspected insurance fraud - our mission is to help provide the community with the means to fight it.
For the first time, Australians can report suspected insurance fraud and know that their information will be made available to the insurance company or the associated body concerned with the claim, even if the insurance company is not known to them.
People might think of insurance fraud as a 'victimless' crime against faceless corporations with deep pockets. But, some estimates have honest Australian policyholders contributing about $400 per family per year* to compensate for dishonest claims, or about $100 per compulsory third party premium.
If you know of someone whom you believe is costing you money through insurance fraud, report it NOW! You can remain anonymous and all information is strictly confidential.
