Claims and the Duty to Disclose

All incidents and potential claims must be notified to insurance@scu.edu.au at the earliest opportunity.

The University has an obligation to notify the relevant insurer of potential claims. There is a duty to disclose all known circumstances, facts or events (notifiable events) which could lead to a claim.

Factors that may impact the success of an insurance claim:

• Failure to advise the insurer of facts or circumstances which could result in a claim, in a timely manner
• Admission of liability or fault
• Criminal acts
• Non-compliance with relevant legal or regulatory requirements
