Abstract

This discussion paper outlines key principles and considerations to inform decision-making for future residential recovery strategies. The features and attributes that underpin an effective residential claim settlement approach are suggested, acknowledging the spectrum of approaches from claimant-led to third party-led. Key factors for early-stage decision-making as to the optimum claims settlement approach for a given event are also proposed.
