Publication details

APRA’s statistics publications provide the most accurate and independent overview of Australia’s general insurance industry.

The Half Yearly General Insurance Bulletin is compiled primarily from information provided to APRA as part of APRA-regulated general insurance companies’ prudential reporting requirements.

In developing the content of this publication, APRA has closely considered the detail contained in the previous publication and has consulted with both industry participants and other interested parties on the data to be published. We also took into consideration the recommendations of the HIH Royal Commission.

The Half Yearly General Insurance Bulletin will publish relevant information according to the following key principles and considerations:

• the importance of public release of company level information; 
• adequate disclosure to assist in the protection of Australian general insurance policyholders;
• the importance of commercial considerations for individual companies; · general insurance data which are already publicly available;
• the disclosure regime in existence prior to July 2002; and
• the recommendations of the HIH Royal Commission.

APRA is committed to working to provide equivalent data for the period between June 2002 and June 2005. APRA will also examine if there are additional data items that serve the considerations outlined above and that should be added in future issues and also whether some of the currently published data should be presented in a different fashion or discontinued.

We welcome your feedback and suggestions for improvement.
