Does my Home and Contents Insurance Policy cover me for bushfires?

AAMI's Home and Contents and Insurance policies can provide cover for loss or damage caused by a bushfire. In the lead-up to bushfire season, it’s important to make sure that your home is properly covered. This includes updating your sum insured to cover the cost of a rebuild if necessary.

It’s also important to note that AAMI doesn’t cover new customers for bushfires within the first 72 hours of starting the policy.

For more information on what is and isn’t covered, plus a step-by-step guide on how to make a claim, head to your PDS.

If you need immediate help or you’d like to speak to one of our customer service agents about your situation, please call 13 22 44.
