Ansvar Insurance, one of Australia’s leading specialist insurers, announced the addition of drones to their risk assessment toolkit.  Ansvar has made a significant investment to certify four risk advisors to offer nationwide coverage of this new level of service. Ansvar is the first insurer to obtain its Operators Certificate from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).

The use of drones in risk mitigation and assessment is the latest example of Ansvar’s progressive adoption of technology.  By embracing innovation, Ansvar is in a unique position to remain the market leader in its specialty sectors, providing Ansvar’s team of risk advisors the most comprehensive tools available for risk assessment on the market today.

Drone technology will allow Ansvar’s risk advisors to survey properties and access areas that were previously inaccessible in a safe and cost effective way.

“Investing in the use of drones is a natural consequence of being a risk-led organisation that embraces the latest technology.  Drones, along with other technological innovations such as thermographics, allows Ansvar to provide the most robust and comprehensive risk mitigation and assessment programs for our clients,” said Warren Hutcheon Ansvar CEO.

“CASA certification and the development of an operating model that considers safety and privacy concerns has been a 12-month process, and we are very excited to be able to offer this service to our clients.” said Warren.
