About the Event

Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance has emerged as one of the biggest challenges to confront the Australian insurance sector in many years and something which proved to be the major factor impacting insurance company balance sheets as well as super fund premium costs.
A range of factors have conspired to make TPD a problem ranging from changes to State Government Workers’ Compensation arrangements to the profitability of plaintiff law firms. But the question remains: Is TPD irrevocably broken, or can a fix be found?
