Building and Contents FAQs

Yes, you can. The calculation provided is just a guide. It's your responsibility to ensure your home is insured for its full replacement value. However, if you insure your home or contents for more than the cost to repair, replace, or rebuild, CGU will only pay the actual cost of repairing, replacing, or rebuilding.

Accidental damage cover protects you when unexpected mishaps occur around your home. For instance, it would cover you if your child accidentally knocked over the TV and broke the screen, or if you accidentally put your foot through the ceiling while in the roof. Whether your building, contents, or both are covered depends on your policy. Accidental damage cover can be added as an optional benefit to your Building Standard policy. If you upgrade to Building Plus, it’s automatically included.

Yes, you can choose who repairs your home. However, if you decide not to use one of CGU’s partner repairers, they won't be able to guarantee the workmanship or repairs that are completed, nor assist in managing the repairer regarding timeframes or quality. CGU will also only pay you the fair and reasonable amount that the repairs should cost.

Yes, you can. The calculation provided is just a guide. It's your responsibility to ensure your home is insured for its full replacement value. However, if you insure contents for more than the cost to repair or replace, CGU will only pay the actual cost of repairing or replacing.

Accidental damage cover protects you when unexpected mishaps occur around your home. For instance, it would cover you if your child accidentally knocked over the TV and broke the screen. Whether your contents are covered depends on your policy. Accidental damage cover can be added as an optional benefit to your Contents Standard policy.

General Contents: These are items you keep in and around your home that aren't permanently attached to the structure, like furniture.

Valuable Contents: These are part of your general contents but have a coverage limit of $2,500 in total for all items in the following categories: Works of art – Collections – Jewellery and watches. You can insure items in these categories for higher amounts by opting for Valuable contents as an additional benefit.

Portable Contents: These are items that you or your family can take outside of your home. Coverage for these items is only available if you choose Portable contents as an optional benefit.

General contents held in storage can be covered under Home Insurance policy if you inform CGU before moving your items into storage and if CGU's acceptance criteria are met. Refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for information on items not covered while in storage. Please note that Valuable Contents are not covered while in storage.
