QBE launches new self‑assessments tool to help businesses better understand and manage risk
With tighter safety regulations, more complex operations and heightened governance expectations, it’s becoming harder for Australian businesses to see clearly where their biggest risks sit.
In response, QBE has launched a suite of interactive self-assessments designed to help businesses take a proactive approach to risk management.
Developed by QBE’s Risk Solutions team, the self-assessments give businesses a clear starting point to identify potential risks, understand their most significant exposures, and access practical insights to support stronger, more resilient operations.
“Insurance reflects risk, and the most sustainable way for businesses to reduce losses and build long‑term resilience is to better understand and manage the factors that drive that risk.”
“This isn’t just about being compliant – it’s about building safer and smarter operations,” said Anthony D’Oca, General Manager Commercial & People Risk at QBE Australia Pacific.
Each assessment guides customers through a series of questions relevant to their operations and delivers a detailed report with recommendations, risk mitigation tips, and supporting resources.
The assessments are accessible for businesses at any stage of their risk journey, including those without dedicated risk or safety teams.
“For example, our Motor Fleet Self-Assessment helps businesses take a clear, practical look at everything from vehicle maintenance schedules to driver onboarding and safety initiatives, giving them actionable insights to improve efficiency and potentially reduce risk exposure,” said Mr D’Oca.
“Every business carries risk – the question is whether it’s understood or how it is managed. These tools enable businesses to take stock, ask the right questions and start strengthening their operations before risk turns into disruption.”
The initial focus includes Property, Liability, Motor Fleet, and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) with QBE committed to expanding the offering over time to help even more industries benefit from risk support.
Customers can access the self-assessments by navigating to the Tools & Resources section of the QBE Risk Solutions website to submit a request via RiskAdvance, QBE’s dedicated risk management platform.
