Our aim is to provide the highest service to our Australian policyholders and, to this end, we have developed the following procedures for the fair handling of complaints from Lloyd’s policyholders.
How can we help you?
There are established procedures for dealing with complaints and disputes regarding your policy or claim. Policyholders may be able to take advantage of the complaints service, as may third party motor vehicle claimants who are uninsured and where the amount in dispute is less than $15,000.
Stage 1
Any enquiry or complaint relating to a Lloyd’s policy or claim should be addressed to either your Lloyd’s insurance intermediary (“the coverholder”) or to the administrator handling your claim in the first instance – in most cases this will resolve your grievance.
They will respond to your complaint within 15 business days provided they have all necessary information and have completed any investigation required. Where further information, assessment or investigation is required, they will agree to reasonable alternative timeframes with you. You will also be kept informed of the progress of your complaint.
Stage 2
In the unlikely event that this does not resolve the matter or you are not satisfied with the way your complaint has been dealt with, you should contact:
Lloyd’s Australia Limited

Sydney NSW 2000

Following receipt of your complaint, you will be advised whether your matter will be handled by Lloyd’s Australia or the Lloyd’s Complaints team in the UK, or what other avenues are available to you:
The length of time required to resolve a particular dispute will depend on the individual issues raised, however in most cases you will receive a full written response to your complaint within 15 business days of receipt, provided we have received all necessary information and have completed any investigation required.
AFCA is an independent body that operates nationally in Australia and aims to resolve disputes between you and your insurer. AFCA provide fair and independent financial services complaint resolution that is free to consumers. Your dispute must be referred to AFCA within 2 years of the date of our final decision. Determinations made by AFCA are binding upon us.
