Achmea Australia's Chief Operating Officer, Kirsten Staveley, stated that the insurer uses the standard industry definition for flood and provides cover for the farmhouse, vehicles, other agricultural buildings, and contents. This comprehensive approach aligns with Achmea's mission of keeping farmers farming, especially in the face of increasing natural disasters.
While other insurers have cited challenges in pricing flood risk on larger properties, Achmea's direct partnership model allows for tailored assessments and coverage. By working directly with farmers, Achmea aims to provide adequate insurance that reflects the unique risks and needs of each property.
Farmers seeking reliable flood protection are encouraged to explore Achmea's offerings and consider how this built-in coverage can enhance their overall risk management strategy.
