Skip Tracing for Insurance Providers
How can Insurance Providers benefit from our Skip Tracing services?
Skip Tracing Australia provides services to Insurance Providers to assist with asset recovery, claims investigations, risk mitigation, business information, reporting requirements, and debt collection.
Skip tracing is a valuable tool for several key reasons to enhance its effectiveness and efficiency in its operations:
Here are some key scenarios where Insurance Providers will benefit from using our professional Skip Tracing service.
Claim Investigation
Insurance companies often need to investigate claims thoroughly to prevent fraud. Skip tracers can help locate claimants, witnesses, or others involved in a claim who might
provide vital information or evidence.
Policyholder Contact
Insurance companies may need to contact policyholders for reasons critical to the policy's maintenance, such as renewals, updates, or important notifications. If policyholders have moved or changed their contact details without notifying the insurer, skip tracers can locate them to ensure continuous communication.
Fraud Detection and Prevention
Skip tracing can be an essential component in identifying and preventing fraud, whether it involves uncovering false identities, locating absconded fraudsters, or tracing illicit
financial flows.
Fraud Detection and Prevention
Our team of Licensed Investigators and Skip tracers are qualified and licensed to investigate potential fraud by locating individuals suspected of fraudulent activities, such as staging accidents or filing false claims, thereby protecting the insurance company from financial losses.
Risk Management
By effectively locating clients or debtors and securing assets or repayments, skip tracers help banks and insurance companies mitigate financial risks, thereby protecting their bottom line.
Legal Proceedings
If an Insurance company is involved in legal proceedings against a client, they may need to serve legal documents. Skip tracers can locate the individuals or entities involved to
ensure that they are properly served and the legal process can proceed.
Locating a Driver
If your Business deals with Vehicle Insurance, you may need to locate the driver at fault in a vehicle collision, in order to recover vehicle excess costs. With our Skip Tracing services, we can locate them for you.
Recovering Subrogation
In cases where an insurance company seeks to recover funds from a third party responsible for a loss (subrogation), skip tracers can be crucial in locating the responsible party or their assets for recovery purposes.
Unclaimed Assets
Insurance companies sometimes need to locate beneficiaries of policies to disburse benefits, especially if the beneficiaries are unaware of their entitlements or have moved without providing forwarding information.
Legal and Compliance Requirements
Insurance companies are often required to make diligent efforts to contact policyholders or beneficiaries before escheating funds to the state as unclaimed property. Skip tracers can assist in these efforts, helping the company comply with legal obligations.
Due Diligence
When underwriting policies or settling claims, insurance companies must perform due diligence to assess risk accurately and confirm claim validity. Skip tracing can be a vital part of this process, ensuring that all relevant parties are identified and located.
Asset Location
In certain types of insurance, like surety bonding, the insurance company might need to locate and claim assets if the principal fails to meet their obligations. Skip tracers can
locate these assets for recovery or liquidation.

Why Outsource?
Outsourcing your skip tracing to professionals rather than using in-house resources can offer several advantages for a company, especially if your business is not specialised in investigative or collection activities.

Cost Effectiveness
Establishing an in-house skip tracing operation can be costly, requiring investment in training, software, databases, and personnel. Outsourcing eliminates these overhead costs and converts fixed expenses into variable costs that only occur when services are needed.

utilisation. At Skip Tracing Australia, we aim to have your matter completed within 10 Business Days and often have results much sooner than this.

Skip tracers in Australia must adhere to legal and regulatory guidelines in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and, quite often, the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009. Professional skip tracers are across these regulations and can ensure that
their methods are compliant, reducing the company's risk of legal issues. Our Agents also complete mandatory CPE and Mercantile Compliance training.
