Frequently Asked Questions for Home & Contents Insurance

I found a really cheap quote online, why is it so cheap?

Insurance is like any other product, you pay for what you get. There are many different insurers offering policies in different shapes and forms.

Service is extremely important.

This is the difference between a claim being paid out over night and a claim being paid out painstakingly over a year. Cheap premiums are on offer because costs are being cut elsewhere.

Coverage is also extremely important.

This is the difference between your claim being paid out or not paid out at all. Quite often, this results in financial burden in the long run.

What is a ‘Flood’?

In June 2012, the Insurance Council of Australia and Federal Government agreed to adopt the below definition:

  • The covering of normally dry land by water that has escaped or been released from the normal confines of:
  • Any lake, or any river, creek or other natural watercourse, whether or not altered or modified; or
  • Any reservoir, canal, or dam.
Can I pay my premiums by the month?

Yes. All insurance offered by Austbrokers Comsure can be paid by the month through premium funders. If you chose to use the premium funder’s service, your monthly installments will be tax deductible.

How is my premiums calculated?

A number of factors contribute to you household insurance premium each year.

  • The risk associated with your postcode
