For more information about the different policies, look at the Great Southern Bank website.  

See the PDS for more information on possible exclusions.  

In insurance terms, a ‘defined event’ (also known as a ‘listed event’) on a policy is damage-causing event which you’re insured for under that policy.  

Under Great Southern Bank’s landlord insurance policy, you will generally be covered for the following defined events:  

• Storm 
• Flood 
• Explosion  
• Lightening or thunderbolt  
• A falling tree or branch 
• A riot or civil commotion  
• Earthquake  
• Fire 
• Malicious damage 

To see the full list of defined events, see the PDS.  

Flood damage can be treated as different to storm damage by certain insurers, and as a result you may not be automatically covered for it.  

Great Southern Bank’s building & contents landlord insurance does offer cover for flood damage, however please consult the PDS for information about exclusions and conditions that may apply.
