Insurance (Prompt Settlement of Claims for Uninhabitable Residential Property) Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

The purpose of this bill is to facilitate the swift resolution of uninhabitable property claims lodged with insurance companies by providing: a legal framework and parameters for when insurance companies must act by; an opportunity for the timeframe to be extended; a faster response and resolution for claimants; less stress and emotional burden for claimants; and clarity surrounding the claim process in regards to targets and deadlines.
