XL Catlin has announced the official rollout of its new accident and health insurance offering, designed to help Australian businesses protect their people against emerging risks and heightened security threats.

XL Catlin's Protect and Assist combines comprehensive personal accident and corporate travel insurance, providing global coverage and a wide range of support and response services, to reduce and prevent risks before people travel; provide assistance and support wherever and whenever they need it; and provide insurance cover when things go wrong at home or abroad.

A key feature of Protect and Assist is that it allows clients to incorporate into the product the core and optional services and coverages they need.

“In developing this solution, we recognised we had a great opportunity to totally rethink what a client wants and needs and to build from the ground up a modern product that serves business today,” said Patrick Corbett, global head of life, accident, and health at XL Catlin. “I believe we have achieved that by providing a solution which proactively strengthens and supports a client’s duty of care, protecting their greatest asset, their people, from unexpected risks in the workplace and when travelling for business.”

“We believe that Protect and Assist is an innovative proposition in the Australian market, and it will change the way brokers and clients view accident and health insurance,” said Robin Johnson, country manager for Australia.
