Information Paper - Multi-peril crop insurance incentive measures - 11 April 2016

The NSW Government has engaged IPART to evaluate a series of existing and proposed multi-peril crop incentive measures. We have been asked to assess the measures against IPART’s drought evaluation framework and consider the implications for the current combination of measures in the Government’s drought strategy.

We have released an Information Paper on 11 April 2016. It outlines our approach for this review and provides stakeholders with an opportunity to comment on the following issues:

- What sources of information should IPART have regard to when assessing the measures?
- What are the barriers to the offering and uptake of MPCI in NSW?
- What issues should IPART take into account when designing a measure to reduce the upfront cost of multi-peril crop insurance premiums?
- Are there any other issues that IPART should have regard to in assessing the measures to increase the uptake of MPCI?

Submissions are due by 29 April 2016.
