AGED CARE INSURANCE

Atlantic Aged Care Insurance was formed to look after the unique needs of aged care facilities and not-for-profit associations at a time when these needs were not widely understood.

In the early 1990s, Atlantic Aged Care Insurance refined and extended traditional insurance covers to the aged care industry, while providing an ongoing focus on educating clients about their risks, and the options available in managing exposures. The results were overwhelming and Atlantic Aged Care Insurance became one of the most recognized and respected providers of insurance to the aged care & home care industry in Melbourne, Victoria & throughout Australia.

What continues to set Atlantic Aged Care Insurance apart is our 25 years of claims settlement experience. There are very few claims scenarios we have not seen the effects of first hand, which provides us the unique opportunity to continually refine our policy wordings and claims service. This ensures covers keep up with your industry trends, best practices, and legislative requirements, while the procedures we have in place in the event of a claim minimize financial impact, so the care of residents remains your focus.

We now arrange exclusive and comprehensive insurance products developed by us with the support of authorized Australian insurers, and have a proven track record should you be in the unfortunate position of suffering a loss. You will have access to our unique relationships with Claims Handlers and Assessors, many of who have been partners of ours since 1990 and are aware of the unique needs and expectations of the aged care industry.

Atlantic Aged Care Insurance Services are proud members of ACCPA which is testament to our commitment to the aged care industry.
