VACC welcomes Industry Policy Advisor, Kathy Zdravevski

22 February 2021

Kathy Zdravevski has joined the VACC Industry Policy Advisor team, working to support the Body Repair Division and Towing Operators Division.

With a strong background in insurance, particularly in dispute resolution, settlements and litigation, and claims consultation, Kathy has worked in the automotive insurance industry for 15 years, most recently as a Dispute Resolution Manager. She holds a Diploma in General Insurance (Senior Associate) with ANZIIF and a Bachelor of Business from Victoria University. Following her passion for the law, Kathy received a Master of Laws – Juris Doctor from Monash University.

The body repair industry is undergoing significant regulatory changes, both at a State and Federal level. VACC is working with key government departments to identify and respond to industry issues to gain positive outcomes and Kathy will be developing Bulletins to keep members informed.

Kathy also recognises there are important issues affecting the industry, including its relationships with insurers. These issues are not new or foreign to her. Kathy will work with key personnel and advocate on behalf of all members in the body repair sector to make a positive difference.

Kathy looks forward to sharing her legal and business skills and training with VACC members.
