3 things to do when the unexpected happens:
Stay safe and prevent further damage
Your safety comes first. Once you and others involved are safe, do what you can to minimise or prevent further loss, damage, cost or liability. Call Emergency Services including the police if necessary.
Take notes
Carefully note what happened and when and make a list of damaged items. Take photos of any damage from different angles. Keep your policy number and receipts for damaged items handy before giving us a call.

Home Insurance FAQs
Can I take out Contents cover? Or Home cover?
You sure can. Like our Home and Contents Insurance, you can choose from three levels of cover (Ultimate, Comprehensive and Basic) when it comes to Contents and Home Insurance.
Which Bupa insurance will give me flood cover?
Does Bupa Home and Contents Insurance cover my mobile phone or tablet?
At Bupa, the cover available for your mobile phone or tablet under Bupa Home and Contents Insurance depends on the cover level selected. You can choose between Basic Cover or Comprehensive Cover or choose to upgrade to Bupa Ultimate Cover for extra protection. Your mobile phone or tablet cover is aligned to the cover type you have purchased. For example, Basic Cover provides cover for insured events, not accidental damage covered by Comprehensive Cover or Bupa Ultimate Cover.
Additionally, as part of our optional Portable Valuables cover, you can also cover your tablet anywhere in Australia for an additional premium but unfortunately not your mobile phone.
Does Bupa Home and Contents insurance cover renovations?
Bupa Home Insurance offers limited cover for buildings that are being renovated, however some restrictions apply.
- If the value of renovations is greater than $50,000 or is structural, we will not cover you for any legal liability arising from the renovations.
- We will not cover you for any water entering your home through an opening made for any renovations or repair work.
You must tell us if you are planning to renovate your property to ensure we can continue providing you with cover.
