About SafeAddress & Our Mission
Our Mission
SafeAddress was created to solve one problem: the process of obtaining property-specific flood risk information in Australia is often opaque, expensive, and stressful. We believe that data affecting property value and safety should be transparent and accessible to everyone.
Our mission is to provide an unbiased, instantaneous, and defensible Flood Risk Score that empowers prospective buyers/investors, current property owners, and Australian renters to make more informed decisions about property and insurance, free from the complexity of raw government and insurer data.
Credibility & Methodology
The SafeAddress score is not a 'blackbox' or a gimmicky guess. It is developed and maintained by [Your Name], a specialist in environmental policy and geospatial analysis.
- Founder's Background: [Your Name] holds a First-Class Honours degree in Social Science (Major: Environment Studies and Policy) from the University of New South Wales (UNSW, 1996).
- Data Foundation: This unique foundation combines a deep understanding of Australian environmental policy and data governance with the technical skills needed to translate complex data sets into a simple, actionable score.
- Trust: We build the score with policy in mind, ensuring it’s grounded in the same foundational data principles used by Australian councils and the insurance industry.
