…it\u2019s simply not the case that all members with an inactive account are without insurance needs<\/h6>\n
AIA Australia CEO Damien Mu said his firm supports the intent of the legislation, “…but it\u2019s simply not the case that all members with an inactive account are without insurance needs, where he says estimates suggest more than $500milliom is paid in claims to inactive members each year:<\/p>\n
\u201cOur concern is that a large majority of impacted members won\u2019t be aware of these changes until it\u2019s too late,” said Mu, who added, \u201cWe want all Australians to be informed of the changes and able to make the right decision based on their own individual circumstances. By creating further awareness and empowering members to make their own decision, we help to ensure that insurance is only removed for those individuals when it’s not wanted or required.\u201d<\/p>\n
