The Code Governance Committee is an independent body that monitors and enforces insurers’ compliance with the Code.

The Code covers many aspects of a consumer’s relationship with their insurer, from buying insurance to making a claim, to providing options to those experiencing financial hardship, to the process for those who wish to make a complaint.
