What does Contents-Only Insurance cover?

Our Contents-Only Insurance covers the cost of loss or damage to your home's contents. This includes things like furniture, white goods, rugs, electrical appliances, clothes, linen, and more.

This is only a summary of policy features. For full details of coverage, exclusions and limits, please read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Target Market Determinations (TMD). The Contents Insurance Key Fact Sheet (KFS) also contains information you may find useful.

Included benefits:
Cover when you move
We will cover your home's contents against loss or damage by an insured event at both your new and old address for up to 14 days after you begin your move. We won't cover your contents while they're in transit unless you have opted in to Accidental Damage cover.
Outside contents
Cover of up to $2,000 for contents intended to be kept outdoors, such as garden furniture, barbecues, and children's play equipment.
Emergency contents storage
We’ll pay the reasonable costs to move and store your undamaged contents for up to 12 months if your home is rendered uninhabitable by an insured event. The maximum payable is the remaining balance of your contents sum insured after payment of claim.
Food or medicine spoilage
We will cover the cost of replacing perishable food or medicine if it is spoiled as the result of your fridge or freezer breaking down. An excess applies to this benefit unless the spoilage is due to a natural disaster as declared by Allianz, the Australian Government, or the Insurance Council of Australia.
Guest, visitor and domestic helper
We will provide cover of up to $5,000 for property belonging to your guests, visitors and domestic helpers (e.g. cleaner, gardener) if it is lost or damaged in an insured event you are claiming for.

Covers your contents against accidental damage caused by sudden, unforeseen, and unintended events, not just the specified insured events.
Motor Burnout
Also known as fusion damage, motor burnout occurs when changes to your electrical current (e.g. a power surge) causes the motor of your household appliances to 'burn out'. This covers motors less than 10 years old and is automatically included when you take out optional Accidental Damage cover.
Portable Contents
Covers the cost of replacing your portable items if they’re stolen or damaged. Portable items include wallets, glasses, jewellery, cameras, and mobile phones.

Deliberate, intentional, malicious or criminal acts
This policy doesn't cover loss, damage or theft deliberately caused by you, your domestic helpers/workers, guests, or anyone who lives at the insured address.

How much insurance do you need?

When you take out contents-only insurance, the amount you're insuring for should accurately reflect the cost of replacing your home's contents. This includes everything from jewellery to furniture to clothes and everything in-between.

Otherwise, if you're under-insured, you will more than likely have to pay the difference  out of your own pocket.

Our insurance calculators can help avoid the chances of this happening by helping you estimate your home's contents' true value.
