What is home and contents insurance?
Home insurance (also known as building insurance) generally covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your home following an insured event. This includes natural disasters such as a bushfire, flood, earthquake or storm. You can also add on optional cover for human-related damage, such as accidental breakages.
Contents insurance covers the cost of replacing what’s inside your home if it’s damaged, lost or stolen. It also covers items kept outside but on your property, such as a bike. You can take out just home insurance, just contents insurance or a combined home and contents policy.
Watch our video, Home Insurance 101, to understand more about home and contents insurance and why full building replacement is so important.
If you’re unsure whether something falls under home or contents insurance, then imagine if your house tipped upside down. Items that fall out such as jewellery, laptops, mobile phones and carpets are generally covered by contents insurance. Generally, home insurance covers what is fixed to the building, such as walls, windows and the ceiling.
Full building replacement
We’ll automatically calculate the replacement value of your house at today’s prices and pay the amount required to rebuild or repair it to the condition it was in before the damage occured, regardless of the cost.
