The Special Investigations Division provides a fraud management service focussing upon prevention, detection, investigation and resolution. In addition, the Division also provides an asset protection service committed to the minimisation of threats against personnel, property and non-systems information.
Insurance fraud is a growing problem in our community.
This has been concluded based on our internal experience and feedback from counterparts in other states of Australia. As a risk management strategy to address the escalating incidence of insurance fraud, the Insurance Commission launched a public awareness campaign in October 1998. It is not an objective of the campaign to penalise legitimate injury claims. The ultimate goal is not merely to contain premium rates but to instigate changes in public attitudes and behaviour.
