Home and Contents Insurance Broker
Could we help you find a better option for your home and contents cover?
If you haven’t looked at your insurance in a while, our home and contents broker service can help you review your options.
It's not just about price - we dive in to look into your particular needs. Finding the right cover for you can mean fewer surprises when you need to claim.
An insurance review may help if...
- You’re moving home, or your life or family circumstances have changed
- You haven’t reviewed your home insurance in more than two years
- You're unsure if you’re under-insured or over-insured
- Your property has a higher risk of events such as flood or bushfire
- You own a unique or high-value property
- You have valuable contents that require higher cover limits or specialised cover
- You've found it difficult to obtain insurance in the past
Our broker service can also assist with landlord, motor, strata, and a variety of commercial insurances.
Benefits of using a home insurance broker
A broker can be worth considering if you'd like help comparing your options. Our home insurance broker service can access policies from insurers you can't buy from directly, which may have different features, limits and inclusions to a direct policy. They can give you a detailed overview of what a policy does and doesn't cover, and save you time by comparing multiple policies on your behalf.
A broker can also act as your long-term advocate, helping you manage policy renewals and assisting with any future claims by dealing with your insurer directly if the unfortunate happens. You can also expect help with handling paperwork, as well as ensuring your coverage still aligns with your needs if your circumstances change.
