Home & Contents Insurance - Compare Australian Insurers

Stop and think about what plans you have put in place for your home insurance while you are away.

Home and contents insurance, like all other forms of insurance, takes several variables into consideration when determining the premium you have to pay to get the level of cover you want. We’ve put together a short list of 5 of the most important of these variables insurers use when determining how much you should pay.

Definitions of everything from "accidental glass breakage" to "obsolete electrical appliances", to help you understand all the finer points of home and contents insurance policies and details of cover.

"Many people in Australia are under-insured. Remember that carpet, blinds, curtains and air conditioners attached to windows all come under contents insurance, while fixed items such as air conditioners attached to walls, dishwashers in cabinets and tiles come under home insurance." - Steven Mickenbecker, CANNEX Head of Research, Product and Strategy.

"In most cases, flood-related events are not covered by home and contents insurance. If you live in an area where flooding is a risk, be sure to check with your insurer to find out if you are covered in case the worst happens." - Harry Senlitonga, CANNEX Financial Analyst.
