What are the benefits of home insurance?
Home insurance can provide financial coverage in the event that your home’s building and/or contents become damaged as a result of insured events such as accidental damage, theft, fire, hail and storm or flood damage. These events will be listed in your policy, as well as any terms and conditions that apply.
How can I get a discount on home insurance?
Online discounts
You may be able to get a discount by buying a policy online, rather than over the phone or in person. For example, at the time of writing, some providers offer discounts of up to 30% for buying a combined policy online.
Combined home and contents discounts
You could also get a discount if you combine both home building insurance and contents insurance into one policy. For example, at the time of writing, some providers offer discounts of up to 30% for combining home and contents insurance.
Another way you could save is with a multi-policy discount. This gives you a discount if you have multiple policies with one insurance provider, such as home insurance and car insurance.
Some insurance providers also offer loyalty discounts, for having a policy with them over multiple years.
Keep in mind, some of these discounts can be stacked but will often be subject to certain terms and conditions, including maximum discount amounts or minimum premiums.

Why is home and contents insurance important?
Buying a home will generally be one of the biggest financial investments you make, so having some peace of mind that it’s covered in case of damages can be important.
Home building insurance can help cover the costs of replacing or repairing your home and outbuildings (like sheds and garages) if they’re damaged by insured events like natural disasters, bushfires and accidental and malicious damage.
Contents insurance can help protect the items inside your home, such as jewellery, furniture, clothing, tools and appliances like TVs, washing machines and fridges. Your policy may also provide coverage for motor burnout for certain appliances, as well as coverage for damage caused by flooding.
As home insurance policies can differ quite drastically from one another, it’s important to read all relevant documentation, such as the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Target Market Determination (TMD), for any policy you’re considering.
Compare home and contents insurance policies with Canstar
When it comes to choosing a home insurance policy, price isn’t everything. It’s important to also take into account the quality of the coverage you’re getting for your money. This can include what is and isn’t included in a policy, the claim limits and sub-limits that may apply and the excess you have to pay when making a claim.
Canstar compares home insurance using a sophisticated methodology, to help you determine value. You can compare home and contents, home building insurance, flood insurance and more using Canstar’s comparison tables.
