Common Home Insurance claims

Be prepared

Preparing your home for stormy weather

If you’re in Queensland and storm season is approaching, there are a few things you can do to help keep your home and family safe.

  • Clean your gutters and downpipes to avoid blockages and overflow.
  • Secure loose items that can be thrown by strong wind, such as outdoor furniture and play equipment.
  • Remove tree branches that are close to your home.
  • Prepare an emergency kit, including things like a portable phone charger, bottled water, and torch with spare batteries — just in case.

Insured Events

These are the events that you can make a claim for, if they cause loss or damage to your home or contents (or both, of course, if you have a combined policy). There are limits, conditions and exclusions which apply, so check out the policy documents to make sure you’re up to speed.

Insured Events listed above apply to AAMI Home Insurance products, excluding Fire & Theft Contents Insurance which is limited to loss or damage by Fire, Theft or Burglary. We don't insure you for bushfire, storm, storm surge, flood or tsunami for the first 72 hours of your policy. Very limited exceptions apply. Read the PDS for more detail.​

Check amount covered

In most cases, the replacement value of cars decrease over time, but in recent years, due to increased costs and constrained supply, we have seen some cars increase in value. As such, your amount covered will be automatically changed to reflect this.

You can increase or decrease your amount covered, within a specified range, and your premium will change accordingly.

You can also choose to insure your vehicle for Market Value. This will change your premium.

Refer to the PDS for details.

Kilometres driven

When you took out your policy, you would've given us an estimate of how much you drive your car in a year, and that figure informs your premium price. Usually, a higher estimate results in a higher premium, since your'e at greater risk of an incident. If you find yourself driving a lot less then you estimated, maybe because you're working from home or walking to the shops rather than driving, you can log in and adjust this figure. Doing so may reduce your premium a little.

Review listed drivers

Listing additional drivers on your policy can alter your premium, depending on their details and claims history. For example, if you have a teenager who used your car when they started driving but has since bought their own, they may no longer need to be listed. If you decide to remove them, your premium might be reduced.

Your address

If you've moved, make sure your address is updated on your policy. Your location can affect your premium, based on that location's level of risk, so your address being updated can result in your payments being adjusted. Fair warning; that adjustment can reduce your premium, or it may result in an increase. Either way, you'll ensure you're not at risk of having a claim denied or reduced due to incorrect address details.

Eligible policies

Eligible policies include Comprehensive Car Insurance.

Your excess

With AAMI Flexi-Premiums®, you can choose to lower your premium by increasing your excess This'll mean that, while your monthly or yearly premium is cheaper, you'll face more out-of-pocket costs if you make a claim where you're liable to pay an excess. Whether that trade-off is worth it is totally up to you, but it's worth considering.

You may need to update your address, or record a change of car ownership. If so, just get in touch with Service NSW online or call 13 77 88.
