Suncorp is all about making a difference for people and in the communities, they call home. Few areas of our business are quite as foundational in making that difference as our Claims teams. They provide support and understanding for customers in some of their most challenging times, while finding outcomes that get their lives back on a healthier, happier path. That takes a special kind of person. Someone who can pick up the ins and outs of insurance processes – and deliver it to customers in a way that feels refreshingly simple.
