Burnout white paper

Burnout is more than a buzz word, it is an emerging risk affecting more Australians than ever, especially post COVID-19. According to research,  46% of Australians reported feeling burnt out. Burnout extends beyond feeling fatigued and can impact both physical and mental health, including an increased risk of hospitalisation for cardiovascular disease and musculoskeletal disorders.

The journey towards understanding is ongoing and this white paper is just the start. Zurich is committed to working with our partners, customers, healthcare professionals and academic institutions to better understand the impact of burnout. This work allows us to develop better products, more sustainable pricing, improved underwriting and a more targeted claims support program. We believe that by taking a whole health approach and supporting our customers throughout their health journey, we can contribute to the wellbeing of individuals and communities and create a brighter future together. We strive to play a significant role in reducing burnout that is affecting so many Australians.
