RESEARCH AND BRIEFINGS
There’s an unprecedented level of M&A activity in the aged care sector, driven by healthy market conditions and growing demand for these services.
RESEARCH AND BRIEFINGS
Aged care costs are set to spiral across the Asia Pacific region in the coming years, a report from the Marsh and McLennan Companies' Asia Pacific Research Center reveals.
As the health, aged care, and life sciences industries undergo constant change, organisations and providers must keep up with the often competing demands of clients and their families, regulators, and financial stakeholders.
In this ever-changing environment, you need to comply with government regulations, maintain quality services, and control costs while keeping an acute eye on new and agile competitors, continual changes to funding arrangements, and rapid technological advances.
But with challenge comes opportunity. Marsh’s Health, Aged Care, and Life Sciences Practice is dedicated to solving risk issues for all types of health care providers. We can help you thrive by identifying solutions for the risks that could undermine your strategy, operations, and success.
Our team — which includes claims and risk management specialists — will work with you to put effective risk management plans and control actions into place. Using the resources from other Marsh & McLennan Companies businesses enables us to help you solve several challenges.
The result: access to a range of risk and insurance broking services that help you achieve your objectives and protect your organisation’s future by reducing costs and controlling risk.
The health care sector faces unique and changing challenges, including: falling reimbursement levels and the increasing cost of care; rising medical negligence claim values; frequency of employers’ liability claims; rising costs of medical indemnity; abuse, patient safety, and care quality; data security; issues with medical implants; and the increasing reliance on technology. Meanwhile, the interaction of and balance between the doctors’ cover (and its legislative requirements) and that of the corporation should be addressed.
By helping you identify and find solutions for the risks that could threaten your strategy, operations, and success, we can help you thrive.
With an in-depth understanding of today’s aged-care challenges, our team of health care insurance specialists have the knowledge and expertise to work with you to identify, assess, and prioritise the critical risks that may affect your business. Through our dedicated teams, we can arrange a comprehensive range of commercial insurance solutions, alternative risk programs, and risk consulting services.
Our solutions aim to improve operational resilience against risk, minimise the total cost of risk, reduce financial volatility, and maximise the value of the total spend. At the same time, it is important to ensure that you remain compliant and your reputation protected.

Amid these many and varied challenges, we understand you are required to attract and retain high quality talent, while delivering considerate and compliant care.
