The four things that actually cause claims here.

Australian risk

We price the weather, not the postcode alone.

  • Bushfire

    From November through March most of southern Australia sits inside a declared fire danger period. Home and landlord policies cover bushfire, the smoke damage that follows it, and the cost of demolition and debris removal before a rebuild can start.

    Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania

  • Flood

    Flood is included as standard on every home, contents and landlord policy, using the standard definition set out in the Insurance Contracts Regulations. It is not an optional extra, and it is not something you have to ask for.

    South East Queensland, Northern Rivers, Hawkesbury-Nepean

  • Storm and hail

    Storm and hail causes more home claims in Australia than anything else. Make safe is arranged within 24 hours of you lodging, and you never need to obtain quotes before emergency work happens.

    Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth

  • Cyclone

    North of the Tropic of Capricorn we rate cyclone and storm tide separately and show both on the quote, rather than folding them into a single figure you cannot check.

    North Queensland, the Top End, the Pilbara and Kimberley

Pick a cover and read what it costs.

Every price below is a monthly figure including GST and stamp duty. Every excess is the one you would actually pay. Nothing is a teaser rate.

Someone answers at 2am, in the wet, on a public holiday.

The claims line is staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the year, in Australia. When the Insurance Council declares a catastrophe in your postcode we call you rather than waiting for you to call us.

  • 24 hrsto make safe after you lodge, and under 8 hours in most metropolitan postcodes.
  • No quotesneeded before emergency work. We appoint the assessor and the repairer.
  • Lifetimeguarantee on every repair we authorise, for as long as you own the thing.

Claims, settled

Eight claims, eight postcodes, eight outcomes.

Reviews by state

The hail came through the skylight on a Tuesday. Make safe was on site the next morning and the assessor rang me himself, not a call centre.
