Emergency Action Plan
1. Prioritise Your Safety
- Start by identifying the hazard and making sure everyone is safe
- If it is an emergency - Call Triple Zero - (000)
- If the hazard is ongoing - Contact the SES 132 500
2. Secure the Area
- Avoid the damaged area and any ongoing risk
- Shut off all affected utilities like power, water, or gas (if it is safe to do so)
- Secure the area (if it is safe to do so) to prevent further access, damage, and loss
3. Contact Us for Claim Support
- Call us 24/7 on 1800 069 336
- We will organise a ‘Make Safe’ as a temporary course of action
If you experience a major emergency (like a storm, flood, or fire) and your home requires urgent attention our team can organise a ‘make safe’. The purpose of a ‘make safe’ is to reduce the amount of risk to those inside the home and prevent further damage to the home itself.
If you require immediate support, we can arrange a ‘make safe’ and complete temporary repairs to your property.
If you need urgent financial assistance, please let us know. We may be able to fast-track your claim or make an advance payment within five business days of you demonstrating your urgent financial need. Any advance payment may be deducted from the total value of your claim.
Recovering from a claim event can take time and you don’t have to do it alone. There are free, independent, and professional organisations (many available 24/7) that can offer support. A list of organisations is available on our Customer Assistance page.
