We believe that equal access to Life Insurance (and Life Insurance products) is a human right. “and that everyone deserves a fail go free of stigma and discrimination.
We celebrate diversity and serve both the LGBTQIA+ and straight communities without regard for sexuality, gender, race or religion. Drew Browne, senior adviser at unusualrisks.com.au
Over the years we've seen the frustration that people with specialty medical conditions have experienced when trying to deal with a life insurance company. We've also seen the discrimination they faced because of their medical condition and their perceived sexuality. Yes, HIV is no longer considered a death sentence but now a chronic disease but dealing with a life insurance company and disclosing sensitive medical information to strangers is still a major barrier to many people.
- Up till now nobody was prepared to take leadership on this issue and people with pre-existing health conditions were without a specialty advocate.
- That’s now changed with the arrival of unusualrisks.com.au
The website unusualrisks.com.au is currently undergoing extensive user testing and when formally launched in February 2014, will provide an anonymous online pre-assessment service specifically for people looking for life insurance (or related services) who have been diagnosed with HIV or diabetes.
