Home Buildings & Contents

One Cover, Many Surprising Benefits

By choosing to combine your Home Buildings and Contents insurance, you’re choosing the simplest way to protect both your home and your belongings, with one easy policy. And, you might be surprised to hear that we include structures like your garden shed or in-ground pool—pleasantly surprised, we hope.

^*Damage caused by the sea is not covered (except tsunamis as a result of earthquake). 

Plus, we’ve got heaps of additional options, so if you’d like to add a little more protection to your policy, say for your pet or your portable possessions—you can.

Cover Your Home, Inside and Out

From the house to the garden shed, the garage to the in-ground pool, and almost everything in between, our Buildings Cover can protect your home from the costs of repair and rebuilding. Costs that can quickly add up.

Inside your home, we understand your possessions are just as valuable, which is why our Contents Cover is essential if you want new for old replacement on your contents, even if you accidentally left the door or window unlocked.

Some things are just better, together.

Like adding pea soup to a great Aussie pie, combining your Home and Contents insurance in the one policy, might be right for you.
