About ARPC 

Australian Reinsurance Pool Corporation is a corporate Commonwealth entity established under the Terrorism Insurance Act 2003 (TI Act). Following the terrorist events in the United States on 11 September 2001, there was a global withdrawal of terrorism insurance. 

The Government was concerned that the lack of comprehensive insurance cover for commercial property or infrastructure would lead to a reduction in financing and investment in the Australian property sector. 

The role of ARPC was to establish and provide ongoing administration of a pool that would provide insurance cover for eligible terrorism losses, involving commercial property, associated business interruption losses and public liability.
