Our Compliance

We strictly adhere to federal and state legislative requirements and council bylaws including:
1
All state and federal privacy legislation
2
All environmental legislation and bylaws
3
All occupational health and safety legislation
We have systems in place to ensure all our people comply with the requirements of the General Insurance Code of Practice (GICOP) and Privacy Act. Our staff attend the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance’s ongoing training sessions. We comply with the Code of Practice and guidelines set out by the Australasian Institute of Chartered Loss Adjusters.
We use claims management software, VCA, to ensure service-level compliance.

In respect of SLA compliance Technical Assessing use a third-party system for claims management, Virtual Claims Adjuster.

This system manages the claims end to end, from
1
Registering the claim
2
Producing Assessment Reports
3
Compliance Reports
4
Time capturing
5
Invoicing
The system includes functionality to capture General Insurance Code Of Practice (GICOP) compliance time stamps. Also, we have the ability to modify time stamp capture requirements, specific to Client request.

The Management Team has access to time stamp diary Reports to monitor the progress of claims, to ensure compliance in accordance with SLA Agreements, which usually mirror or closely follow GICOP compliance.
Conflict of Interest checks are conducted when receiving a claim to ensure there is no conflict. If during our check a conflict is identified, we’ll decline the claim.

If during our investigation we uncover any evidence that a potential conflict of interest could arise, we will fully disclose this to the client, and take the necessary steps to rectify the matter.

Technical has gone through a digital transformation initiative, moving all their IT services to Microsoft Azure to provide security, availability and reliability across their IT services. TA has established strategic partnership with CyberCX and Empower IT to outsource their cyber security program and IT operation management. A roadmap of cyber security program of work is developed and endorsed by the board to uplift TA’s cyber maturity and protect its critical ICT assets and sensitive data.

As a part of digital transformation journey, TA has adopted a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Claim Management solution for all activities related to claim data and assessment. The claim management solution is hosted in MS Azure datacentre within Australia and hence no claim data is stored or processed outside the country. The solution is protected by several security controls to protect TA and its client’s sensitive information while always assuring the availability of the platform like:

1
Password complexity
2
Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
3
Restricted privileged accounts access
The solution is strictly accessible within Australia only via secure VPN connection and enforced geolocation which provides extra layers of security over TA’s critical IT infrastructure.
