Australia is in the middle of a catastrophic bushfire season. Lives have been lost, thousands of homes and properties destroyed, and our wildlife population has been decimated. Today on Pocket Money, we are joined by Alex Holderness and Ally Koster, two insurance experts at Finder, who have been putting out loads of resources, guides and updates for those affected, and those who want to help. We talk about how home insurance works, what financial relief is available, how you can help support local businesses, donate, and plan ahead to protect yourself in the future.
