It’s been another busy week for businesses in the region, preparing for the lead up to Easter and the school holidays.

Cyclone Megan was the fifth tropical cyclone to impact the country this season, and has left another indelible mark on Far North Queensland as the cyclone season draws to a close. Recent weather events are a timely reminder about the importance of having up-to-date information to help make decisions about insurance and your business.
