The Code of Practice

Genus Life Insurance Services (Genus) complies with The Life Insurance Code of Practice (the Code).

The objectives of the Code are to ensure that we:

  1. deliver a high standard of customer service throughout your relationship with us
  2. continuously improve the services we offer you
  3. communicate with you in plain language unless medical or other technical terminology is needed
  4. seek to increase consumer trust and confidence in the life insurance industry.

Genus follows and complies with the Code, as the insurance policies we administer are issued by Australian Life Insurers who are bound to comply with the Code’s standards and principles.

The Code deeply resonates with Genus’ own values which has been built around the principles of Clarity and Transparency, Fairness and Respect, Honesty, Timeliness and Plain Language.
