Protect your most cherished items from fire or theft with Bupa Valuables Insurance.
If you're anxious about the safety of your expensive new tech gadget purchase, the collection of family jewellery you've inherited, or if you're wanting cover for your entire suite of belongings, Bupa Valuables cover will ensure your valuables are insured from the unfortunate situations of burglary or fire.
Whether you're renting or living in your own home, you can tailor your cover to protect the stuff that matters most. Plus, you can add optional extras to cover you anywhere in Australia and for accidental damage for added peace of mind.
What is Bupa Valuables cover?
Instead of insuring everything in your home, Bupa Valuables cover allows you to protect the items that are most precious to you, such as your all-essential mobile phone, the TV, sentimental jewellery and even your golf clubs.
If you choose to pay annually, you can save 10%. Otherwise you can pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly for this online-only product – whatever best suits your budget.

How do I make a claim?
Claims can only be made through the Bupa Valuables Insurance Portal. To make a claim on a stolen item, you will need to provide a police report.
From there, Bupa will either repair or replace the item for you, give you a cash settlement for repairs or a store voucher, or the sum insured to replace or fix the item yourself.
