What happened
The National Insurance Brokers Association launched the 2027 Insurance Brokers Code of Practice, which takes effect on January 1, 2027. The new Code allows clients to ask their brokers what they are paid in dollars. Key changes include doubling the minimum notice period before a policy renews from 14 days to 28 days, and establishing a dedicated section for conflicts of interest.
Why it matters
The new Code of Practice introduces significant regulatory changes to the insurance brokerage industry. It mandates greater transparency regarding broker remuneration, regardless of the client's business size or policy type. Additionally, brokers are now required to contact affected clients after a declared catastrophe to offer assistance with lodging claims.
