Home Contents Insurance

Get Cover for your Contents that’s as Good as New

While your memories are priceless, your possessions can hold a lot of value, too. Should your home be broken into, or damaged, the cost of having to replace some or all of these contents at once, could be very high. We can help, with our Home Contents Insurance, which you might be surprised to learn, can start from as little as $4.45 per week.

New for Old Replacement

Our Home Contents Insurance offers new for old replacement as standard on your household contents and belongings. It’s peace of mind for your possessions, and applies even if you accidentally leave a window or door unlocked.

Which is great news for South Aussies, because some of us are a bit forgetful when it comes to locking up. But, if an uninvited guest arrives, you’ll be glad to have your contents covered by an insurer that understands the local market.

What's covered?

• Furniture, furnishings, carpets and rugs
• Electrical items
• Home theatre equipment
• Clothes and shoes
• Bedding, towels and other manchester
• Toys and sporting equipment
• Handyman tools
• Gardening equipment

You might be surprised to learn how much your contents are worth. Estimate the current value of your contents with our calculator.

If you prefer a little extra peace of mind, we’ve got a number of options that you can choose from to increase your level of cover, like:

•  Fusion - burn out of electric motors that are part of your General Contents, e.g. the motor in your fridge - includes service call, parts and labour costs

•  Pet lover's pack covers up to $2,000 for vet costs if your cat or dog gets hurt in an accident

• Up to a 25% safety net on top of the general contents sum insured, for extra costs to replace your contents if needed.
• Automatic cover for accidental damage to your contents and burnout of electric motors (Fusion).
• Identity theft, up to $5,000 to cover legal costs and for replacing your documents
