Presenter: Tim Butler- Head of Contractor Connection & CRD, Australia

Global economic, geopolitical and supply chain disruptions continue to influence the insurance landscape in new and often unexpected ways.

Drawing on Crawford’s recent research into claims inflation, supply chain pressures and repair market dynamics, this session explores the emerging factors influencing claims costs, repair durations, contractor behaviour and underinsurance risk across Australia.

Attendees will gain practical insights into how these pressures are flowing through the insurance value chain and what they could mean for brokers, underwriters and insurance businesses in the months ahead.

By attending this session, participants will be able to:

• Explain how global economic and geopolitical developments can influence insurance costs and claims outcomes in Australia.
• Identify the key drivers of claims inflation and repair cost variability across property and commercial claims.
• Recognise emerging trends in contractor behaviour, supply chain pressures and procurement risk.
• Assess the potential implications of increasing repair costs on underwriting, portfolio performance and underinsurance exposure.
• Apply practical considerations to support more informed conversations with clients, insureds and stakeholders regarding insurance adequacy and risk management.
