Construction under threat as insurers flee

After the issues with the Opal and Mascot towers, there are fears insurers will no longer provide that protection within the building industry.

Callers have contacted Ross Greenwood with concerns professional indemnity insurance will no longer be available to the industry as premiums soar.

Australian Property Institute CEO Amelia Hodge tells Ross Greenwood there are only four insurers left for property valuers in Australia.

“It’s last man standing when it comes to professional indemnity insurance, I’m afraid.”
