What is Contents Insurance?
As the name suggests, Contents Insurance is insurance that’s designed for the stuff inside your house, but not the house itself or its permanent fixtures. For that, consider AAMI Building Insurance.
So, if needed following an insured event, it’ll help you repair or replace your furniture, your clothes, your appliances and more! For more info on what is and isn’t covered, be sure to read the Product Disclosure Statement.
