Buildings & Contents Insurance
Protect your home inside and out from loss or damage caused by one or more of 11 insured events.
Get protection for your home buildings and your contents by combining buildings and contents covers on the one policy.
If you take both Building and Contents insurance here’s how they can work together if the unexpected occurs:
- Your house burns down. You could lose all your buildings, and everything in them. With adequate sums insured under Buildings and Contents covers, you could rebuild and replace your insured belongings.
- A fire damages your kitchen. You could repair or rebuild built-in damaged parts of your kitchen, such as benchtops, with Buildings cover. Then you could replace damaged items like blinds and kitchenware under your Contents cover.
- A thief smashes your window, breaks the lock and steals your belongings. You can fix the window and lock through your Buildings cover and replace the items that were stolen under your Contents cover.
Plus, you will only have to pay the applicable excess(es) once in respect of any single claim if your buildings and contents are damaged by the same insured event.
What does Home and Contents Insurance cover?

Buildings > What’s covered?
Buildings insurance is designed to protect the physical structures and fixtures that make up your home buildings: from the house itself, to your garage, fences and paved driveways – even built-in appliances like hot water systems, air-conditioners and more.

Contents > What’s covered?
Contents insurance protect the belongings you have at the insured address: from your furniture, carpet and appliances to your BBQ and even your cloths, shoes and handbags.
So, if any of the insured events happen during the period of insurance, we’ll generally pay to repair or replace your contents – up to the policy limits.
The better you understand your policy, the easier it will be if you ever have to claim.
Here is a limited summary of the benefits of a building and contents insurance policy.
