A retroactive date limits how far back coverage applies under claims-made policies. Events before this date are excluded, even if claims arise during the policy period. This limit is common in professional indemnity, management liability, and cyber insurance, and it further prevents insurers from covering pre-existing risks. Section 40(3) of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth) allows notification of potential claims to preserve coverage from this date.
