Complaints and Disputes
Goldstraw Insurance Partners is committed to the fair, transparent and timely resolution of any disputes.
In respect to claims for our services, we subscribe to the NIBA Code of Conduct and to the General Insurance Code of Practice. Goldstraw Insurance Partners has a detailed internal dispute resolution process in accordance with the guidelines in those Codes and Section 912A (1) of the Corporations Act 2001.
This process deals with all complaints and disputes in relation to our services to Goldstraw Insurance Partners clients, but does not have jurisdiction over matters concerning insurer’s decisions about coverage or claims. Any complaints or disputes involving insurers need to be referred to their own dispute resolution process and we can provide details if required.
As part of our commitment, we subscribe to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, an external dispute resolution service that is accessible to clients free of charge in the event that they believe a complaint has not been satisfactorily dealt with by us.
Please contact us if you have any complaints about our services.

Your Duty of Disclosure
Before You enter into the Policy with Us, the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 requires You to disclose to Us every matter that You know or could reasonably be expected to know is relevant to Our decision whether and on what terms Your application for insurance is acceptable and to calculate how much premium is required for Your insurance.
You have the same duty to disclose those matters to Us before You renew, extend, vary or reinstate the Policy.
The duty applies until the Policy is entered into, or where relevant, renewed, extended, varied or reinstated (Relevant Time). If anything changes between the time You provide answers or make disclosure and the Relevant Time, You need to tell Us.
What You do not need to tell Us
You do not need to tell Us about any matter:
Who does the duty apply to?
The Duty of Disclosure applies to You and everyone that is insured under the Policy. If You provide information for another insured, it is as if they provided it to Us.
What happens if the Duty of Disclosure is not complied with?
If the duty of disclosure is not complied with we may cancel the Policy and/or reduce the amount We pay if You make a claim. If fraud is involved, We may treat the Policy as if it never existed, and pay nothing.
