The Motor Vehicle Insurance and Repair Industry Code of Conduct Administration Committee (CAC) has held its first face-to-face meeting since the conclusion of public consultation on the Code.
The meeting marked a significant milestone in the ongoing review process, as members came together to discuss the future direction of the Code.
CAC Chair George Manos described the meeting as a constructive and encouraging step forward.
"It is clear from the submissions received and the consultation process that the insurance and repair sectors have both shared and differing priorities when it comes to shaping the future of the Code," Mr Manos said.
"This meeting was a positive first step toward developing a more effective Code. CAC members engaged in open and collaborative discussions, demonstrating a strong commitment to improving outcomes for the industry."
"The CAC has agreed to continue dialogue and negotiations, with the Insurance Council of Australia and Motor Trades Association of Australia continuing to consult with their members and the broader industry."
As part of the meeting, George Manos was reappointed as CAC Chair for another term, ensuring continuity and leadership as the Committee works through the next phase of the Code review.
In addition, the CAC has released its 2024 Annual Report, which is now available on the Code website.
