Today, we launched the UN International Year of Cooperatives at Parliament House and handed down a groundbreaking report on the performance of Discretionary Risk Mutuals (DRMs) in Australia. It was an important opportunity to discuss how people and smaller businesses can respond to cost of living pressures, hard to insure markets and compliance and regulation through a shared services model like a DRM. More communities than ever, are turning to tried and tested models to transfer risk through coop and mutual structures to stay resilient and sustainable. Thank you to co-Chairs, Ms Louise Miller-Frost MP - B App Sc, MA, MPH, MBA, FAICD and the Hon Kevin Hogan, for hosting this morning's Parliamentary Friends of Co-operatives and Mutuals. Thank you to the Assistant Treasurer, Hon Stephen Jones MP, for launching the UN International Year, our parliamentary colleagues across the parliament who came to celebrate and share our messages. Thank you to Charmian Holmes and Hamilton Locke for the Discretionary Risk Mutuals Pulse Check 2024 report launched today and to guest speakers, Andrew Armitstead, CEO CivicRisk Mutual and Charles Pollack, CEO Our Ark Mutual for providing case studies of DRM in action. Thank you to all who attended. https://lnkd.in/gqwBME6T

Government and regulators are being urged to help facilitate the growth of Discretionary Risk Mutuals (DRM) as part of a diversified risk protection landscape. A report released in Canberra today highlights the important role DRMs are playing in providing alternative risk management to businesses and organisations in markets where premiums have become unaffordable. The report, commissioned by the BCCM in conjunction with law firm Hamilton Locke, provides the first snapshot of Australia’s discretionary risk mutual sector. https://lnkd.in/gqwBME6T #DiscretionaryRiskMutuals
