Looking to save on Home Insurance in NSW?
With Allianz you may save on your Home, Landlord and/or Contents Insurance premium:
- If you’re buying Home Insurance, combine your Building and Contents cover on the one policy and save up to 10%1,2,4 (compared to buying each cover as a standalone cover). This discount doesn’t apply to Landlords Insurance.
- If you increase your basic excess: our policies come with flexible excess levels, giving you the option to increase your basic excess, within a given range, which could reduce your premium.3
How Home Insurance can help cover your property
If you take out both Home Building and Contents cover, here’s how these covers can work together if you experience an insured loss:
Your house burns down
You could lose your building, and everything in it. With adequate sums insured under Building and Contents covers, you could rebuild and replace your insured belongings.
A fire damages your kitchen
You could repair or rebuild built-in damaged parts of your kitchen, such as benchtops, with Home Building Insurance. Then, you could replace damaged items like blinds and kitchenware under your Contents Insurance policy.
A thief smashes your window
They break the locks and steal your belongings. You can fix the window and locks through your Building Insurance and replace the items that were stolen under your Contents Insurance.
Plus, you’ll only have to pay one excess if your building and contents are damaged by the same insured event, and you’ve combined them on one policy.

There are a number of factors that determine how your Allianz Home and Contents Insurance premium is calculated, including:
- Your risk profile. We work this out using a few details, such as:
- Where you live.
- The type of property you’re insuring.
- The amount and type of cover you need.
- Any other people also insured under the policy.
- The relevant claims history of the people being insured.
- The likelihood of a claim being made on your policy.
- Any discounts that may apply.
- Any compulsory government charges such as Stamp Duty and GST.

Yes, if your renovations are expected to cost less than $75,000. You’ll need to notify us as soon as reasonably possible if, during the period of insurance, you begin any alterations, additions, demolitions, repairs or decorations to the buildings that are expected to cost more than $75,000.
If you don’t, we may refuse or reduce a claim under the policy because of the delay or the non-disclosure. When we get this information, we may:
- Propose changes to the terms and conditions of your policy.
- Propose to charge you a higher premium.
- Cancel your policy; if there’s a change and we can’t reach an agreement with you on altered terms and conditions or premium, or we’re no longer prepared to insure you because there’s been a material change to the risk.
- Decide not to offer to renew your policy.
Note: It’s also important that you increase your sum insured to take into account any extensions or renovations to make sure you’re adequately covered if you need to make a home or landlord insurance claim.
Home Insurance covers you against financial losses associated with the damage or loss of the property you own. Home Insurance isn't a legal requirement. However, if you hold a mortgage over your property, most banks and mortgage lenders require you to take out Home Insurance as security to safeguard themselves against financial risk due to unexpected damage or loss to your property.
Lenders may require you to list them as an interested party when purchasing insurance and may also request proof of insurance (Certificate of Currency) before the loan is finalised or for each year your mortgage is held with them.
To request a Certificate of Currency for your existing Allianz Home Insurance policy call us on 13 1000 or log in to My Allianz.
Here’s a list of some of the things we don’t cover under a Home Building policy:
