Golf Business Australia: Your risk management partner to reduce insurance premiums
The market outlook for golf insurance in Australia is a rather cumbersome one. As of late insurers have tightened their grip on claims and exudes little faith in the industry as a whole.
With continuing catastrophic events like bush fires and storms, the risk of being left with no insurance option is becoming increasingly more tangible.
The main culprit of this noticeable lower tolerance among insurers for golf clubs and facilities around Australia is undoubtfully the increase of preventable type losses claims.
The importance of risk management
Proactive measures in the form of risk maintenance and practical mitigation strategies taken by clubs can minimise the exposure to the volatility of the current insurance market.
The industry experts agree; by having risk management programs in place assisting staff in identifying what could go wrong and taking viable measures to prevent it, will help the golf industry as a whole to become more attractive
to insurers.
With club maintenance programs and prevention methods such as cleaning gutters and conducting regular tree maintenance and removal could see big losses in relation to storms (55% of all claims) be avoided.
Insurance is often seen as a reactive measure rather than
a pro-active risk management tool Robust management strategies should be adopted in all operational businesses in order to reduce the risk of accidents before they happen.
Identifying potential risks and creating a risk management profile for a club can have the following benefits:
- Lower the cost of insurance!
- Reduce unexpected and costly surprises
- Assist with strategic planning
- Allow more effective & efficient allocation of resources
- Create peace of mind for visitors/members
