All APRA-regulated general insurance and reinsurance companies and some Lloyd’s underwriters are required to contribute claims and policies data to the National Claims and Policies Database in accordance with Reporting Standards made by APRA in June 2004. State and territory insurers will also contribute data to the NCPD.

Other organisations, such as agents that collect public and product liability and/or professional indemnity policy and/or claim data such as brokers and underwriting and claims management agencies may also be able to contribute to the NCPD in future.

Broad coverage will ensure that the NCPD includes comprehensive information on public and products and professional indemnity liability cover in Australia.
