Latest update: September 2025
The Allianz Class Action settlement administration is underway.
The deadline to submit the Eligibility Assessment Form passed on 13 July 2025. We are currently undertaking the data-matching process for those participants that submitted their Eligibility Assessment Form (Eligibility Participants). Once complete, we will determine the eligibility of all Eligibility Participants, and we will inform them of their eligibility when complete. Until then, please only contact us by email if you need to update your contact details.
All emails and text messages from MB regarding the Allianz Class Action will be sent from addonclassaction@mauriceblackburn.com.au and ‘MBLawyers’. We are currently not seeking bank account details from Allianz group members.
Next steps in the settlement administration:
Eligibility Notices
In late 2025, all Eligibility Participants will be sent their Eligibility Notices.
Claim Data and Loss Assessments
After Eligibility Notices are sent, we will start the claim data consolidation stage. The purpose of this stage is to confirm the unique claim data which will be used to assess each Eligible Group Member’s claim/s.
Once we have the Claim Data for each Eligible Group Member, we will calculate the Assessed Losses. These Assessed Losses will be used to calculate the Estimated Distribution Amount for each Eligible Group Member.

What is the settlement administration process, and how did we get here?
Settlement administration is a term used to describe the process of assessing claims and distributing settlement money to Eligible Group Members. It typically occurs after a matter goes to trial, or the defendant and plaintiff reach a settlement agreement prior to trial.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Allianz Add-On Insurance Class Action was commenced on behalf of the plaintiffs and persons who purchased one or more of the following Allianz add-on insurance policies between 1 June 2006 and 27 September 2021 at or around the time they purchased a vehicle from a dealership:
- loan protection insurance;
- motor equity Insurance (including purchase price insurance and value protect insurance);
- extended motor warranty insurance; or
- tyre and rim Insurance.
The class action sought damages to compensate each group member and/or recovery of the amount of the premiums mistakenly paid.
All Eligible Group Members who participate in the settlement administration must:
- Answer all questions truthfully, and to the best of your knowledge, accurately;
- Ensure that your contact information is up to date and notify us of any changes; and
- Respond to all communication requests from us (as Scheme Administrator) – including activities, emails, and text prompts – within the timeframes and/or due dates provided in the communication.
At this stage, we estimate Notices will be sent in early 2026.
We hope to commence making payments in mid-2026. This is an estimate only, and it may take more time.
During the settlement administration, the settlement sum will be placed into an interest-bearing bank account. Any interest accrued forms part of the settlement sum.
The interest will firstly be used to pay settlement administration costs. Any remaining interest will be managed and distributed to eligible group members in accordance with the SDS.
We will not be able to estimate payments until all assessments have been completed.
We need to work on the claims made by over 200,000 Eligible Group Members to consolidate their Claim Data and conduct their assessments.
We can’t start making payments until all claims have been assessed.
Please do not send us your bank details. We will tell you when and how you can provide your bank details later in the settlement administration, in a safe and secure way.
Under the SDS, the claim data (being the information obtained from Allianz about the products purchased by each eligible group member) is treated as final and binding. This means that eligible group members are unable to review their claim data. In very limited circumstances, an eligible group member may be able to request an amendment to their claim data – whether the amendment is accepted is at the discretion of the scheme administrator.
Under the Scheme, the loss assessments and pro-rata distribution based on the loss assessments are final and binding, as they are calculated using a mathematical formula (which was approved by the Court) based on the claim data. This means that eligible group members are unable to review their loss assessment. In very limited circumstances, the scheme administrator may exercise its discretion and vary an assessment or distribution amount in the unlikely event that an abject error is identified.
If you received an email or text message from Maurice Blackburn about this class action between 14 and 23 January 2025, you have registered before the registration deadline. We also sent postal notices to a small amount of registered group members.
The deadline to register to participate in any pre-trial settlement for the Allianz Class Action passed on 15 July 2024 at 4pm (AEST). The Court allowed people who registered after the deadline up to and including 10 March 2025 to be included, and notices were sent to these individuals on 27 May 2025.
To update your contact details in relation to the Allianz class action, please fill out the webform available here. Once you have submitted the form, you do not need to do anything else to update your details.
There will be several steps you will be requested to take in relation to the assessment of your claim/s, including (but not limited to) confirming claim data details, reviewing assessment notices, and providing bank account details. These processes will be carried out electronically, using a secure and specialist digital platform tailored for claim assessment and settlement distribution.
