    Cover required at this situation

    Material Damage

    This covers damage to your business premise for Fire, Storm, and other defined perils. Sums insured should be sufficient to rebuild/repair and/or replace items as new.

    Business Interruption

    Covers loss of income or extra expenses following damage at the insured location. If you’re a small/family business and the business is your main source of income, consider this cover.

    If unsure, consider how long it may take to set up a new premise elsewhere, recommission equipment, order stock, and start operating again. Add at least 6 months to allow lost income recovery. Property owners should consider tenant replacement times — minimum 24 months recommended.

    Major Customer or Supplier Cover

    Customer or Supplier 1

    Customer or Supplier 2

    Burglary and Theft

    Money / Cash

    Cover for money/cash at the premises, in transit, at an employee’s home, or in authorised overnight storage.

    Glass

    This cover may be required in your lease agreement if you are a renter. It provides cover for more than just windows — also external signage, fit-out glass, or ceramics within the premises.

    General Property

    This cover applies to portable business property, such as tools, equipment, or stock, while away from the premises.

    Other optional coverages for your business

    The following covers may not be offered by all insurers though may be required by your business. If you select any options below, we may contact you if we require any additional information.

    Important Information

    Cooling Off

    If you are not completely satisfied with your policy, you may cancel it by notifying us in writing within 30 days of cover having commenced. You will receive a refund of the amount you have paid unless something has occurred for which a claim may become payable under the policy.

    Confirming Transactions

    You may contact us, in writing (which is always required if you are advising cancellation) or by phone, to confirm any transaction under your policy. Any transaction will be documented by us as quickly as possible.

    Code of Practice

    A self-regulatory Code of Practice exists for the general insurance industry, designed to raise overall standards. We have adopted the Code, details of which can be obtained from your insurance broker or our office.

    Complaints

    If you do not agree with any decision we make in relation to your insurance, please write to us stating what you disagree with and why. We will then either resolve or attempt to resolve your complaint immediately or refer the matter to our Internal Dispute Resolution Committee (IDRC). If you are not satisfied with a claim decision by the IDRC, the matter may be referred to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) if it falls within their jurisdiction.

    Privacy

    We respect your privacy and comply with the Privacy Act and the National Principles. A copy of our Privacy policy is available upon request or on our website.

    Duty of Disclosure

    Duty to not misrepresent

    Your duty when you apply for insurance

    Before you enter into an insurance contract, you have a duty to not misrepresent under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984. By law, you must take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation. This means giving us true, complete and accurate answers to our questions, including where you provide information on someone else’s behalf.

    We use your answers to decide whether to insure you and on what terms.

    If you do not tell us something

    If any of your answers are misleading, incomplete, inaccurate or fraudulent we may reduce or not pay a claim, cancel your policy or treat it as if it never existed.
