The Queensland Government Insurance Fund (QGIF) manages the State’s self-insurance scheme and provides broad insurance-based coverage to all Queensland Government Departments and eligible statutory bodies. QGIF works collaboratively with insured entities to cost effectively, centrally manage all eligible claims.
QGIF engages with relevant experts (including instructing solicitors and Counsel, investigators, accountants and the like) at the appropriate time and is guided by expert opinion and works with agencies to achieve the optimal outcome in matters.
QGIF’s Statement of Cover is designed to have minimal exclusions to ensure that the broad and varied risk nature of Government activities is accounted for and we encourage you to read the Statement of Cover on our website at www.qgif.qld.gov.au. However, we realise that there may be circumstances where you may disagree with a decision made by QGIF, either about the coverage or the management of a claim.
QGIF was established as part of the Queensland Government’s commitment to a better, cost-effective means of managing financial risk through identifying, provisioning, and funding the State Government’s insurable assets and liabilities.
We are committed to ensuring that the cover and services we provide are consistent, contemporary and fit-for-purpose in line with the Government’s fiscal planning objectives and we welcome your feedback as a tool for continuous improvement. Please also feel free to provide any positive feedback you may have as you interact with us and we will ensure that the team member that provided you with that excellent service knows how happy you are.
How to Provide Feedback
We understand that feedback can include complaints, however, many complaints can be resolved quickly and easily by the QGIF team member you have been dealing with, as they will be familiar with the issues you may raise. We request that in the first instance you provide your feedback to them.
If however, you are still not satisfied with their response, we ask that you email your feedback to qgif@qgif.qld.gov.au for the attention of the Director, Claims if your feedback is in regard to claims management; or the Manager, Underwriting if your feedback is in regard to policy coverage or policy renewal activities.
Timeframes
QGIF will confirm receipt of your feedback within 1 business day and seek any clarification that may be required to ensure that the issues are correctly understood within five business days.
We will aim to resolve all complaints within 28 days of all the necessary information being received by QGIF. If it is expected to take longer than 28 days to review your feedback, we will contact you prior to this time and explain why.
Process
Once we have clarified the issue(s) and received all of your supporting information, we will outline the initial steps that will be taken and the timeline under which they will occur. This may include, but is not limited to, obtaining an independent expert opinion or report, the feedback being raised with the senior management team of QGIF (General Manager, Director Claims and the Manager Underwriting) for a response and/or a brief being prepared for the attention of the QGIF Governance Committee.
The below diagram outlines the process which QGIF will undertake when feedback is received:
