• Providing regulatory advice and decision support to management, and preparing clear reports, briefings, and correspondence for senior leaders and elected officials.
• Supporting the development of bulletins and industry guidance and responding to requests for insurance information and basic data analysis.
• Conducting regulatory oversight, examinations, and compliance monitoring — reviewing insurer practices and records (remotely and, in rare circumstances, on-site) to identify compliance concerns, communicating findings, and recommending corrective or enforcement actions.
• Monitoring trends and identifying emerging risks in the insurance market.
• Administering regulatory processes and applications, including Medical Assessor requests, Insurance Council appeals, umpire selections, and automobile wording submissions.
• Conducting fair, thorough investigations of alleged breaches of insurance legislation — triaging complaints, assessing jurisdiction and scope, gathering and analyzing information, documenting findings, and presenting enforcement recommendations.
