We understand that vulnerability is complex and that every customer is different. We’re determined to help our customers get back on track, especially during tough times.

When can I ask for help?

Asking for help isn’t easy. However, if you are experiencing vulnerability, please contact your Insurance Broker in the first instance .Your broker will guide you through the process, and will notify Vero of your circumstances on your behalf so that we can arrange appropriate support.

  • A partner providing interpretive services, if, say, English is your second language or you’re hearing impaired.
  • Financial counselling services.
  • Specialist service providers.This may be applicable if, for example, you’re experiencing domestic or family violence.
