Programs published for flood insurance inquiry hearings in Caboolture, Logan and Lismore

THE House Standing Committee on Economics has published the programs for its upcoming public hearings in Caboolture (Moreton Bay), Beenleigh (Logan) and Lismore (northern NSW) on April 9–11 for its inquiry into insurers’ responses to 2022 major floods claims.

The hearing programs are available on the inquiry website.

Committee Chair Daniel Mulino MP said it was not too late for locals affected by the 2022 floods to register to share their insurance experiences in community statement sessions at each of the hearings.

“I encourage anyone interested to contact us as soon as possible about making a statement, but we can also sign people up on the day – subject to available time," Dr Mulino said. Priority to speak would be given to locals who had registered in advance, he said.

Individuals who want to make a statement at the hearings should email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

They should write ‘Public hearing’ and the hearing location (whether Caboolture, Logan or Lismore) in the subject line and include full name(s) for each person who wants to participate, as well as a contact number and email address.

Anyone is welcome to attend the hearings, and a live audio stream will also be available on the APH website.
