Frequently Asked Questions about Australian Seniors Home Insurance

To apply for an Australian Seniors home, contents or and contents insurance policy, you can get a quote by either calling Australian Seniors directly, or requesting one online via their website.

If you have a recent and accurate estimate for the value of your home and contents, then it’s often a good idea to insure up to that particular sum to get your exact money’s worth.

If you don’t have an accurate idea of this value, then you could look for a complete replacement home insurance policy to give yourself peace of mind, though bear in mind that while you’re less likely to be underinsured, the premiums for a total replacement may be more expensive than for a sum-insured one. Find out how much home insurance you need and how much contents insurance you need.

If something happens to your home or contents, you can either lodge a claim online or call the Australian Seniors claims number during business hours. For emergency claims, Australian Seniors has a 24/7 helpline. You will need to provide your policy number and details of the incident. Australian Seniors says its home and contents insurance claims are administered by The Hollard Insurance Company Pty Ltd.

As a renter, you generally don’t need home insurance because your landlord should have insurance for the building you live in, and if you live in a unit, apartment or townhouse, the body corporate is legally required to have building insurance for the building. However, as a renter you can still consider contents insurance if you want to protect your own possessions.

Some providers offer specialised renters insurance policies. In many cases, though, renters insurance is the same or very similar to a contents insurance policy. It may be the case that when applying for a standard contents insurance policy, you simply need to specify to the insurer that you’re a tenant.

If you are a renter, you can purchase a contents-only policy from Australian Seniors.

For landlords, a specific landlord insurance policy could be an option to consider. Landlord insurance is designed to cover you for the same things as a home insurance policy, but with several additions to cover you against risks from having tenants in your property.

Depending on your choice of cover, Australian Seniors landlord insurance may cover damage to your investment property and other expenses.

Important information

For those that love the detail

This advice is general and has not taken into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Consider whether this advice is right for you.

Canstar may earn a fee from its Online Partners for referrals from its website tables, and from sponsorship or promotion of certain products. Fees payable by product providers for referrals and sponsorship or promotion may vary between providers, website position, and revenue model. Sponsorship/promotion fees may be higher than referral fees. If a product is sponsored or promoted, it’s an ad and it is clearly marked as such. An ad might appear in different places on our website, such as in comparison tables and articles. Ads may be displayed in a fixed position in a table, regardless of the product's rating, price or other attributes. The location of an ad doesn’t indicate any ranking or rating by Canstar. Payment of fees for ads does not influence our Star Ratings. See How We Get Paid to find out more.

The Home Insurance Star Ratings were awarded in August 2023 and data in the table is current as at that date, updated from time to time to reflect product changes notified to us by product issuers. The results don’t include every provider in the market and we may not compare all features relevant to you. You can find a description of the initial sort order below the table. You can use the sort buttons at the top of each column to re-order the display. Learn more about our Home Insurance Star Rating Methodology. The rating shown is only one factor to take into account when considering products.

The products and Star Ratings in the table might not match your exact inputs in the selector. Sometimes the methodology uses profiles with categories or bands (e.g. income, loan amount or monthly spend), but sometimes a single methodology, without any categories or bands, is applied. The results will show the products that most closely match your selection, based on our profiles. If you are unsure about any terms used in the comparison table please refer to the glossary.

What is a Target Market Determination?

A Target Market Determination (‘TMD’) is a document that explains which people particular financial products may be suitable for (the target market) and sets out any conditions around how financial products can be distributed to consumers.

Why do product issuers provide Target Market Determinations?

From 5 October 2021, TMDs are compulsory for most financial products.

Issuers and distributors of financial products must take reasonable steps that are likely to result in financial products reaching consumers in the target market defined by the product issuer.

We recommend that you consider the TMD before making a purchase decision. Contact the product issuer directly for a copy of the TMD.

Any advice on this page is general and has not taken into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Consider whether this general financial advice is right for your personal circumstances. You may need financial advice from a qualified adviser. Canstar is not providing a recommendation for your individual circumstances. If you decide to apply for an insurance policy, you will deal directly with the provider, not with Canstar.   It’s important you check product information directly with the provider. Consider the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Target Market Determination (TMD) before making a purchase decision. Contact the product issuer directly for a copy of the PDS and TMD. For more information, read our Detailed Disclosure.

If you are seeking to replace an insurance policy, you should consider your personal circumstances, including continuing the existing cover until the replacement policy is issued and cover confirmed. Your current policy may have different features to products currently on the market. Please consider what features are right for you when comparing insurance products and refer to the provider for further details on a policy.

Companies listed in the table, or in ads, may use or be used by another company to arrange, issue, distribute or sell its insurance policies to customers. For more information on the issuer of the policy, please read the Product Disclosure Statement.
