Youth Justice and Advocacy Group Whitelion benefits from Ansvar Property and Liability Insurance

Ansvar provides risk solutions to help Whitelion manage risk while providing outstanding services to vulnerable members of the community.

Melbourne, Australia, 30th November 2015: Ansvar Insurance, Australia’s leading insurance provider for the Community sector has announced its retention of Whitelion for the second year in a row.

Whitelion, a Christian organisation that provides support to the disadvantaged has demonstrated its trust in Ansvar by renewing its insurance contract with the firm together with broker EA Insurance. EA Insurance is a specialist provider of insurance and risk management services to faith and not-for-profit organisations throughout Australia and is a long held partner of Ansvar.

Whitelion is a charity that helps some of Australia’s highest risk groups, covering at-risk youth from low socio-economic families and the indigenous community. Ansvar underwrites Whitelion’s property and liability insurance to help provide better quality of life to some of the most disadvantaged members of our community.

Whitelion commenced its relationship with Ansvar in August 2014 and is currently in its second year of helping provide services and support. Ansvar’s relationship with Whitelion is unique and plays to the company’s strengths and heritage in the community and faith sector.

“Whitelion provides an essential service for some of Australia’s most overlooked communities,” said Whitelion CEO Mark Watt. “We are delighted to be working again with Ansvar this year, and helping Whitelion’s brands, including Open Family and Belguard deliver services to help everyday Australians get ahead.”

Ansvar’s risk and support solutions are continually evolving to ensure the company can provide contemporary risk management products and services to help clients manage their unique risk exposures. The company’s sector-specific risk solution products; site risk surveys, education forums, risk publications, fact sheets, checklists and practical tools, reflect a commitment to support customers to deliver their important services to communities across Ansvar’s core sectors of Faith, Community, Care, Education and Heritage.

“Ansvar’s strong risk management foundation has helped the company extend its relationship with Whitelion providing risk solutions to help strengthen the organisation to an internationally-recognised standard,” said Warren Hutcheon, CEO at Ansvar.

“Together with our authorised representative partner EA Insurance, we are very focused on strengthening Whitelion from a risk solutions point of view.  Ansvar’s risk solutions advisors provide specialist advice on operational risk and controls and help with the management of risks right across an organisation from the board to the front line,” Warren said.

Ansvar will provide Whitelion with advice, support, templates and propose to implement a new risk register software to support the ongoing development of Whitelion’s enterprise risk framework.
