How to Make a Claim
Lodging a Claim
In the event of a claim, it is important that you know your policy details, and who to contact. Make sure you keep details of your policy in a safe spot in the same place, or close to your insured premises.
Stop! Before you think about your claim…
1. Do you need to contact emergency services? If yes, please call 000.
2. Look around. Are you or those around you hurt or need assistance?
3. Is the location you are in safe? Is there a threat to you or those around you?
After-Hours Emergency Claims
Before completing the claims lodgment form below – please read our After-Hours information to ensure you follow the correct steps.
Can I contact my insurer after hours?
Yes. Most insurers have a direct Claims department for lodgement. But if you cannot find this number OR you cannot immediately get through, you can still arrange emergency “make-safe” repairs to your property.
How do I arrange Make-Safe emergency repairs?
Ausure have Australia wide Emergency repairers at your disposal. You can contact these companies 24/7 to make the necessary emergency repairs and simply speak to the Ausure team, or your Insurer the next business day to formally lodge the claim.
Please note, it is part of your responsibility to ensure the necessary repairs are made to help reduce any further damage occurring.
