Contents Essentials

Your belongings in their present condition

Contents essentials provides cover for present value. This good value cover means we’ll either pay the cost of repairs so you end up with an item that’s as close as possible to the one you’re claiming for, or we’ll pay you the item’s value.

Sudden accidental loss due to specified events

We cover accidental loss to your belongings for specified events that commonly lead to insurance claims. That’s our way of keeping your premiums down while maximising the benefit we provide.

Legal liability cover up to $1,000,000

We’ll cover your legal liability if you accidentally damage someone else’s property or if you accidentally injure somebody. Provided they're approved by us in advance, we may also pay your legal fees. There are exceptions to this cover such as for damage caused by your vehicle or watercraft.

Intentional damage to your belongings

We'll cover your contents if it is damaged by a fire or explosion that's intentionally caused by a tenant or someone living in your home other than you, your partner or a family member.
