What am I covered for?
Covers loss of and damage to your home, garage, shed and their household contents, caused by fire, break-ins and weather events. Includes storm, flood and bushfire. You can get a Home and Contents Insurance quote online, quickly and easily.
Your Building
1 Year Excess-Free Glass Cover
Buy a new Home & Contents or Building Insurance policy and we'll throw in 1 year of optional Excess-Free Glass Cover for the home for free! Whether it’s a shower screen, window, fixed mirror or skylight, broken glass can be expensive and time consuming to sort out. This cover can help, with no need to pay an excess. View the full T&Cs.
Cover for damage to the building
Also includes outbuildings like garages and sheds, and other permanent fixtures like fences, decks and solar panels.
Cover for third party liability
Up to $20 million legal liability cover can help you take care of legal and other costs if a visitor suffers injury, death or property damage at your home.
Temporary accommodation
If your home is damaged and your policy offers cover for a repair or rebuild, we’ll cover accommodation costs for as long as that takes (up to 52 weeks). Our maximum payout for any one incident is 10% of the building sum insured — unless you have optional Complete Replacement Cover, in which case we’ll pay reasonable & necessary costs.
Motor burnout cover
If the motor in one of your fixed appliances burns out and that appliance is less than 7 years old, we'll help you take care of repair or replacement.
Your Contents
Cover for lost or damaged contents
If your stuff is lost or damaged in an insured event, such as a storm, fire or burglary, we'll ensure they're quickly repaired or replaced.
New for old replacement
If you need to replace an item, we'll cover the cost of a new one, regardless of age. We'll replace it with the same type, standard and specification—but not necessarily brand—as yours was when it was new. If your damaged item can't be matched exactly, it will be replaced with something similar.
Cover for spoiled food or medicine
If an insured event causes food or medicine to spoil—for example, if a storm knocks out power to your fridge—we’ll cover the cost, up to $400.
Storage of undamaged contents
If some or all of your contents escape damage from an insured event, but they can't be kept at home—say, if they'll be exposed to the elements during repair work—we'll cover the cost of storing them, up to 10% of your contents sum insured.
Optional Covers
New
Accidental Damage at Home
If you accidentally drop, knock, spill or otherwise damage something at home, this optional cover can help. It can apply to your house itself, your contents, or both, depending on your policy.
New
Home Assist
AAMI Home Assist can offer you help from a plumber, electrician, locksmith or carpenter in the event of a home emergency. So if you’ve had AAMI Home Assist on your policy for 24 hours or more and you come home to something unexpected like a burst pipe or blown fuse, we can help get it sorted ASAP.
Complete Replacement Cover
This Optional Cover gives you peace of mind that if your building is damaged or destroyed by an insured event, we'll repair or rebuild your house as it was, or pay you the amount of the assessed quote to repair or rebuild it.
High value items
If you have some especially valuable items, like jewellery or artworks, you can specify them on your policy to ensure they're covered up to their full value.
Portable valuables
Add cover for those portable items that might be accidentally damaged at home or while you’re out and about, like smartphones, handbags, laptops, and so on.
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.
Including water overflowing from things like lakes, rivers, or dams.
That's rain, wind, thunder, that sort of thing. FYI, storm damage is one of our most common claims, so this is a biggie.
That's a rush of water pushed from the sea onto the land caused by very strong winds. It doesn't include actions or movements of the sea. The loss or damage caused by storm surge must happen at the same time as other insured damage caused by storm.
Including power surges caused by lightning, will be covered providing a qualified repairer confirms lightning as the cause of loss or damage.
Loss or damage caused by fire (includes bushfire) and heat, ash, soot and smoke that is the direct result of a fire within 100 metres of the insured address.
These may not be likely, depending on where you live, but you'll be covered just in case.
This also includes attempted theft, if nothing is stolen but the attempt causes damage that needs repairing.
This refers to liquid leaking, overflowing or bursting from things like appliances, fixed pipes, drains, and waterbeds
This refers to damage caused by impact from falling tree branches, power poles or TV antennas.
Not your pets, though. This refers to damage caused by animals (not insects, vermin or rodents) who aren’t supposed to be there.
We cover the loss or damage caused by an explosion but we don’t cover the cost of replacing or repairing the tank or container that exploded.
An example would be damage caused by a violent crowd moving down your street.
This includes things like vandals damaging your letterbox or tagging the building with graffiti.
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.

Your mobile phone is a contents item which is covered at the home for insured events. If you want to cover your mobile phone for accidental loss or damage at home and away from home, you will need extra cover for specified portable valuables. This is an optional cover you can choose.
If you insure your phone as a specified portable valuable and nominate its value your phone will be covered up to that amount for accidental loss or damage anywhere in Australia or New Zealand. The excess for portable valuables is $100 per claim.
Yep! Both AAMI Home Insurance and AAMI Contents Insurance — and, of course, our great value combined Home and Contents Insurance — include cover for damage caused by floods.
For policy purposes, ‘flood’ is defined as the covering of normally dry land by water that has escaped or been released from:
Actions or movements of the sea and storm surge are not covered (unless storm surge damage occurs at the same time as damage caused by storm). Other exclusions apply. Check out the PDS for details.
If you've taken out a home loan to purchase your property, your provider may insist on adequate home insurance as a condition of the loan. If you're in this situation, you should check any requirements with your lender.
If you own a property that shares walls or property, such as an apartment or townhouse, you can consider Strata Insurance. Strata Insurance provides cover for damage caused by insured events to buildings with shared property, as well as shared areas like driveways and stairways. It can provide cover for up to 10 buildings on the same block.
You can learn more on our Strata Insurance page.
To avoid being underinsured, your home and contents sum insured should reflect what it would cost to rebuild your house or replace your contents at today’s prices.
To help you estimate the rebuild cost of your home and new for old replacement cost of your contents you can use the Building Calculator and Contents Calculator.
Please note that the calculator is intended as a guide only and not intended to be relied on for the purpose of making a decision in relation to purchasing our products. The calculator might include questions that you may not see in other calculators. These questions can affect the estimate that in calculated. Consider whether you need a professional valuation from an architect, builder or other valuation expert.
For more information refer to ‘About Your Sum Insured’ in the PDS.
No. You can pay your AAMI insurance premiums annually or monthly.
We suggest insuring your contents for the amount you think it will cost to repair or replace them, in case you ever need to. The amount you choose is known as your sum insured and, once you've taken out your policy, it will be listed on your certificate of insurance.
While specifying a lower sum insured may save you a few bucks on your premium, it could leave you out of pocket if you ever need to make a claim.
It can be difficult to estimate your sum insured, so we offer a Contents Sum Insured Calculator that can help you.
Your building is covered for damage by insured events including fire, storm, impact and malicious damage. You can also cover the building for accidental loss or damage by taking out our Optional Accidental Damage cover.
You can also cover accidental damage to your portable items by taking out our optional portable valuables cover.
Specified contents items are content items that you list individually on your policy that are only insured while at your home. These are usually valuable items, such as artworks and antiques, for which the policy limits that would otherwise apply are inadequate.
Portable valuables are those items that are likely to leave the house with you on a frequent basis, such as jewellery, watches and smartphones. Unless you take out extra cover for these sorts of items, they won’t be covered by your policy if they're lost or damaged while outside of your home.
The exact date on which responsibility for property damage passes from seller to buyer varies depending on which state you're in, and what terms are stipulated in any given contract.
If the risk of damage to the property passes to you before the property settlement, consider arranging home insurance as soon as you're able.
Loss or damage to jewellery caused by an insured event is covered by AAMI Contents Insurance, if the loss or damage occurs at the insured address. A limit of $2,000 per item (or set) applies and a total limit of $5,000 applies for jewellery and watches. However, you can ask us to increase this limit to a specific value, for an extra premium.
If you want to insure your ring for more than $2,000, you will need to tell us about your ring and insure it as a specified contents item for an extra premium.
If you want to ensure that your ring is insured for accidental loss or damage while you're away from home, you can buy Extra Cover Portable valuables, for an extra premium.
We’re sorry you’re thinking of cancelling. For policy cancellations or to discuss your situation further, please call us on 13 22 44.
You have 21 days from when your policy begins (including on renewal) to change your mind. If you choose to return your policy within this period and haven’t made a claim, you can get a full refund (including GST).
Outside of the 21 day cooling off period, can cancel your policy at any time and receive a refund of the unexpired portion of the premium (including GST), less any non-refundable government charges. We will not give a refund if the refund is less than $10 (GST inclusive).
This content applies to new policies and renewal policies with a start date after 14 December 2020.
