Common questions

Peace of mind for some of your biggest investments.

  • Cover for loss or damage

    Your home and contents will be covered for insured events such as storm, flood, fire, escape of liquid, impact, theft and more.

  • Safety net

    If the cost to repair or rebuild your home is more than the sum insured, we'll pay up to an extra 25%.

  • Keys and locks

    If your keys are stolen, we'll cover up to $1,000 to replace or recode the keys, remotes, transponders or locks.

  • Legal liability

    We'll pay up to $20 million to cover costs due to an incident at your home under 'home' cover, or up to $20 million away from your home under 'contents'.

  • New for old

    When we replace your contents or rebuild your home, we will do so on a 'new-for-old' basis.

  • Temp accommodation

    If you can't live in your home as a result of an insured event, we'll cover up to 10% of your sum insured for temporary accommodation costs.

  • Repair guarantee

    We guarantee the quality of materials and workmanship of repairs where we have authorised, arranged and paid the repairer directly for the repairs. This applies while you own the home, contents or portable item(s).

Which policy is for me?

Whether you're buying or renting, choose the cover that suits you best. You even have the option to add portable items to your contents cover, protecting things like your laptop and mobile phone when you're on the move within Australia and New Zealand.
