Supplementary notes

Australia's financial year runs from July 1 to June 30. For example, the 2017 financial year started on July 1, 2016 and ended on June 30, 2017.

Data exclude major events (total claims greater than 100 million Australian dollars). In 2019-20, data exclude the Australian bushfires (Nov 2019-Feb 2020). However, some insurers were not able to exclude major event data. Other major events excluded are the Vic Great Ocean Road bushfires in December 2015 and NSW bushfires in October 2013.
