Susan Hedt is Co-Founder and Director of TPD Claim Support Pty Ltd, working with clients nationwide to provide specialist claims advocacy. Alongside partner Trevor Battersby, she established the service to ensure Australians facing serious illness, injury or loss receive not only technical support but genuine care.

“We provide claims advocacy Australia-wide, with fair hourly-based fees only payable on successful outcomes.”
Susan assists with Total and Permanent Disability (TPD), Trauma, Life, Terminal Illness and Income Protection claims. She is known for her ability to simplify complex processes and guide clients step by step, always with compassion and clarity. Like Trevor, she believes in a fair and transparent model: fees are charged on an hourly basis and only payable on a successful outcome, ensuring the service is accessible and aligned with clients’ needs.
Her colleagues and clients respect her for her meticulous preparation and determined advocacy. Susan is also an active voice in the profession, proud to represent claims advocacy as a vital part of quality financial advice. She frequently shares her journey and insights, helping to highlight the human side of claims and the importance of empathetic support.
Together with Trevor and their Australia-wide team, Susan has built a service that delivers more than just outcomes – it delivers reassurance, fairness and confidence at the moments clients need it most.
