Our priority is the safety of residents across the impacted communities and we urge everyone to stay up to date with the latest weather warnings and follow the directions of the emergency authorities.
We have a dedicated Major Event team in place all year round so we are ready to support customers with emergency repairs, temporary accommodation and emergency funds.
Our assessors and builders are on the ground with extra resources on standby, to help impacted customers as soon as it safe to access impacted areas.
Acting Executive General Manager Direct Claims, David Wilkes, said IAG is ready to support customers affected by this severe weather.
“Safety is the number one priority and we’re here to help our customers with emergency support,” Mr Wilkes said.
“We’re encouraging our customers to lodge their claim online or via the phone when it is safe to do so - the sooner claims are lodged, the sooner we can get them the support they need at this time.

“Where it’s safe to do so, our assessors and builders will move into the flood impacted areas, to ensure damaged properties are safe and look at the repairs required."
Tragically, eight people have died in the flood disaster. As the severe weather continues, we are reminding customers to focus on staying safe and contact the emergency authorities such as our partners the NSW SES should they face a flood emergency.
