New research from Roy Morgan shows that in the 12 months to June 2018, 1,008,000 risk and life insurance policies (10.8% of the total market) had the potential to change companies. This potential is the sum of the 242,000 that actually switched to another company and the 766,000 that renewed with the same company after having approached other companies. Of the total switching potential of 1,008,000 risk and life policies over the last year, the 35-49 age group is the biggest segment, with 425,000 or 42.2% of the total. The second largest segment is the 50-64 age group, with 360,000 or 35.7% of the total. Meanwhile, 27.9% of switching potential is in the $60,000 to $99,000 personal income group, with 281,000 policies. These are the latest findings from Roy Morgan’s Single Source survey, which is based on in-depth personal interviews conducted face-to-face with over 50,000 Australians per annum in their own homes, including over 10,000 interviews with people holding risk and life insurance policies.

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that satisfaction among Australians aged 14+ who are risk and life insurance policy holders was 67.4% in the year to December 2016, down from 68.8% in 2015. Less than one in four (23.9%) of risk and life policy holders were "very satisfied" with their insurance company. The survey also shows that satisfaction with risk insurance (covering income protection, disability, accident, trauma, etc) in 2016 was only 66.3%, the lowest of all insurance types and a little below the 68.7% for life insurance. Meanwhile, Allianz leads in customer satisfaction among the 13 largest risk and life insurers (75.7%), followed by Insuranceline (75.2%) and Asteron (74.4%).

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that satisfaction among Australians aged 14+ with risk and life insurance policies was 67.5 per cent in the year to October 2016, compared with 69.3 per cent during the year to October 2015. The survey also shows that 96.8 per cent of policy holders would be at least "fairly likely" to renew their insurance with their existing company, but only 35.3 per cent would be "extremely likely" to do so. Asteron Life has the highest level of customer satisfaction among the 13 largest risk and life insurers, at 78.1 per cent, ahead of Insuranceline (73.8 per cent) and Allianz (73.2 per cent).
