Excesses
An excess on your policy is the amount that you must first contribute towards each claim. If your claim is for more than one occurrence, the excess applicable to each occurrence will be payable.
The excesses that apply to your policy will be shown on the most recent of your insurance schedule and your renewal notice. When you make a claim we may require you to pay the excesses or we may deduct the excesses from any payment we make. We will tell you when and how the excesses are to be paid or deducted.
When an unoccupied excess is payable, it will be additional to any other excesses that apply to your claim.
Unoccupied excess
Your contents are at greater risk of damage or loss when your home is unoccupied for a lengthy period.
Because of this extra risk, if you claim for damage or loss to your contents:
which occurs after your home building has been unoccupied for 60 continuous days,
an additional compulsory excess is payable.
