Although Australia is only the 10th largest non-life market in the world, it has a complexity and interest that rivals that of the US. Because of its federal structure comprising eight states and territories plus the commonwealth government, Australia has nine workers' compensation systems and eight systems for compulsory motor third party. The country also has a highly evolved common law legal system, massive gas and mining industries and a moderate-to-severe exposure to every natural peril. Australia was a pioneer of risk-based capital and prudential supervision of insurers and is now a front-runner in the field of insurance consumer protection. Although the market is well-penetrated by branches and subsidiaries of multinational insurance groups, nearly two-thirds of premiums are still written by three domestic insurance groups. The first two groups are large and sophisticated users of quota share reinsurance for capital management purposes.
