Protecting the North
We believe cyclone resilience and mitigation is key to building stronger communities and better protecting ourselves against natural disasters.

Performance highlights
Each year, communities along Queensland’s northern coastline brace themselves for storm and cyclone season. Suncorp believes that with planning and preparation, the risk is reduced, and homes and communities are safer so our customers and communities can bounce back quicker.
Our Protecting the North program aims to reduce the damage cyclones can cause to houses, as well as making insurance more accessible with new, innovative products and features. We partnered with the Cyclone Testing Station (CTS) at James Cook University (JCU) and Urbis to analyse insurance claims data so we can better understand cyclone vulnerabilities in homes, and what we can do to make them stronger.
