(a) The expected revenue increases from Home Indemnity Insurance (HII) are a combination of its two-year extension to 30 June 2020 (there was no revenue until the scheme was extended) and a projected increase in activity. (i) $3.0 million (ii) $21.4 million (iii) $14.3 million (iv) $2.9 million
(b) No changes to HII premiums were implemented. (i-iv) Not applicable.
(c) No. The Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety is responsible for managing HII arrangements in Western Australia (under which the insurer requires 100% reinsurance from the State Government to underwrite and manage HII claims). Previous attempts to solicit interest from other private sector providers have been unsuccessful. As a result, an option with the existing provider was exercised.
