    If your Building is damaged by an insured event during the period of insurance to such an extent that you can’t live in your home buildings, Allianz pay the additional costs for temporary accommodation for you up to 10% of the building or contents sum insured (as applicable) and up to $500 for temporary accommodation for your pets in a commercial boarding establishment.

    Flood cover may be available as an optional cover to your buildings. A 72 hour exclusion period applies.

  • Calculators

    Home building calculator

    It’s up to you to decide the sums insured, and the type and level of cover that you want to take out.

    People generally want enough insurance to cover the property’s estimated replacement value. If you don’t have enough cover, you could end up having to cover some of the costs yourself.

    Remember, Allianz will only pay up to the amount of your loss or the sum insured, whichever is the lesser (subject to the policy terms and conditions) - so you should also be careful not to over insure. That's why we've provided the calculator. It works as a guide to help you estimate the replacement value of your home building.

Home, Contents and Landlord Insurance is arranged by Newcastle Permanent Building Society Limited ACN 087 651 992, AFS Licence No. / Australian Credit Licence 238273 (NPBS) and is issued by the insurer Allianz Australia Insurance Limited ABN 15 000 122 850, AFS Licence No. 234708 (Allianz). In arranging this insurance, NPBS acts under its own AFS Licence and as agent for Allianz under an agreement with Allianz. This information is general advice only and does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Policy terms, conditions, limits and exclusions apply. You should consider whether or not the insurance is appropriate for you and the relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) in deciding whether to buy or continue to hold any of these insurance products. You can get a PDS for the relevant insurance product from any branch of NPBS or by phoning 13 19 87. We will receive a commission that is a percentage of the premium for insurance product sales. Our staff earn a salary and may also be eligible for annual and other discretionary performance bonuses that are based on a number of factors that include the amount of insurance products sold. Discretionary bonuses may be of a monetary or non-monetary nature. We may also receive other benefits under our agreement with Allianz that are not directly related to the services we provide you. We also have an arrangement with Allianz under which we provide services including but not limited to training, marketing, administrative and support services relating to some Allianz insurance products, and for this we receive a share of aggregate profits from those Allianz insurance products that we arrange. Ask us for more details before we provide you with any services. Further details can also be found in our Financial Services Guide.
~When you take out a new policy, we calculate your No Claims Bonus based on your home or landlords (as applicable) insurance claims history. To qualify for the maximum No Claim Bonus of 30%, home insurance customers must have had no Building or Contents insurance claims in the preceding five years. Landlord customers must have had no Landlord insurance claims in the preceding 3 years. However, customers who have had claims may still qualify for a reduced No Claim Bonus.
#If you are eligible for more than one discount, Allianz applies them in a predetermined order. This means any subsequent discount will be applied to the reduced premium amount after applying any prior discounts and the effect of the subsequent discount will be reduced. For example, the aggregate effect of applying two 10% discounts consecutively means that you will not see the full benefit of both these discounts.
Discounts do not apply to taxes or government charges.
Discounts do not apply to optional covers for Domestic Workers Compensation / Landlord Workers Compensation, and may not apply to other optional covers (if available and selected).
Any discounts/entitlements may be subject to rounding and may only apply to the extent that any minimum premium is not reached.
***A premium discount of up to 10% is applied to your first years premium when you buy a new home insurance policy online including the following optional covers (if applicable); Accidental damage, Flood, Motor Burnout and Portable Contents. This discount is not applied on renewal.
****a 72-hour exclusion period applies to some insured events
<If you choose to pay your premium by instalments you do not pay us any more than if you pay your premium in one lump sum annually. The premiums payable by instalments may be subject to minor adjustments (upwards or downwards) due to rounding. Note: Your financial institution may apply transaction fees to instalment payments.
*Not available when an additional compulsory excess or imposed excess applies. Minimum Premiums apply.
