She will report to ClearView Chief Claims Officer Joanne Faglioni. “We’re always looking for ways to add value for our customers and advisers. A key area of focus has been on increasing our claims capability and enhancing our claims proposition,” Ms Faglioni said.

Our goal is to provide a highly valued service that can be tailored to meet the individual needs of our customers.”

“There is a growing recognition of the positive impact that occupational rehabilitation can have on assisting customers to return to wellness and return to work, if they are able and ready to do so,” Ms Edwards said.

“ClearView is a dynamic organisation and I’m excited about the possibility of doing something a little bit different here to help customers manage a range of medical conditions, including musculoskeletal, neurological and psychological, and get on with their lives.”

As part of the group’s ClearView ClearChoice product series, customers may be able to access a range of rehabilitation and return to work support including funding to cover the cost of retraining and reskilling, and business coaching.
