Cat Insurance
AAMI, together with petinsurance.com.au, can help you make sure that your feline family members are taken care of.
What does Cat Insurance cover?
Depending on which cover you choose, Cat Insurance can offer you 80% of eligible vet costs back if your cat suffers accidental injury or illness. You’ll also have cover for home vet visits, emergency boarding, and access to optional cover for routines such as desexing and teeth cleaning.
Indoor Cat Insurance
If your cat is the indoorsy type, you can consider this low cost illness-only coverage.
What's not covered?
These are just a few examples. For more detail and a full list of exclusions, see page 29 of the PDS.
How do I choose the right Cat Insurance?
You should take into account your cat’s age and circumstances. A cat that’s mostly indoors may be at lower risk of injury, so you could consider an illness-only policy. If your cat is older than 9 years, it won’t qualify for a new Accidental Injury & Illness policy, or an illness-only policy (a policy taken out before it turned 9 will continue to provide coverage).
PET Insurance
Frequently asked questions
When you take out a policy, you’ll be able to register for the petinsurance.com.au secure pet portal. Claiming via the portal is easy - simply upload a copy of your vet's tax invoice and consultation notes. If it’s your first claim, you’ll need to attach a full veterinary history. If you don’t have access to the customer portal, you can call the friendly customer service team at petinsurance.com.au on 1300 855 633 for claim forms.
If you make a claim for a treatment that’s covered under your policy, you’ll receive 80% of the total cost reimbursed to you, up to the annual benefit limits.

If you haven’t made a claim under the policy and you’ve paid the annual premium in full, the portion of the premium that reflects the remainder of the policy period will be refunded to you. No refund is available where you have chosen the monthly or fortnightly payment options.
If you have made a claim under the policy, and you’ve chosen to pay premiums annually, no refund is provided if you cancel your policy. Where you have chosen to pay monthly or fortnightly, any remaining premium still has to be paid for the remainder of the policy period.
