How we picked theseWhat other types of discounts can I get on home insurance?
Before choosing an insurer, check which of the following discounts you may be eligible for:
- Multi-policy discounts. Often, insurers will offer a discount if you hold more than one policy with them. This can be great if you're also in need of car insurance.
- Cheaper policies online. You can get a discount just for buying home insurance online.
- Seniors’ discounts. Over 55s and pensioners can sometimes get a seniors’ discount.
How else can I save on cover?
Discounts aren't the only way you save on your home insurance. You can:
- Opt for a higher excess. Most insurers will lower premiums in exchange for a higher excess.
- Pay annually. This is often cheaper than paying monthly. If you can’t pay your premium all at once, it’s worth looking for an insurer that offers monthly, fortnightly or other payment schedules at no extra cost.
- Call your insurer to negotiate on price. Most insurers are more interested in keeping you as a customer, particularly if you have no claims history, so they'll often lower your premium if you just ask.

Best home insurance Australia
What you need to know about finding the best home insurance for you. Compare policies and learn what questions to ask when researching insurance policies.
I received my home insurance policy & I would like to find out if my discount has been taken into account as I cannot see it on my policy.
Also I was wondering what the difference in price would be if I paid ins policy each month as I am a pensioner instead of a lump yearly sum.
Thank you Colleen
Hey Colleen, thanks for your question.
Without seeing your bill in front of my I won’t be able to give you a definitive answer – that said, I know my home insurance policy lists any discounts as a line item on my bill. However, every insurance company does things a little differently, so it’s possible your discount is still being applied. As for monthly versus yearly discounts, many insurers will give you a discount for paying a year in advance, but it’s not a given.
In both cases, your best bet is to give you insurance company a call directly and see what the best course is. It’s also a good idea to ask them if there are any other discounts they can offer, especially if you come to them with cheaper quotes from other insurance companies. Even if you have no plans to switch insurers, telling them that there are cheaper quotes out there sometimes is all the nudge they need to give you a better price.
Best of luck!
Where can I find insurance for a heritage house under repair?
Hi Myra,
If the home is registered as a local heritage listing and the repairs are minor, that might be quite straightforward to arrange insurance. If the home is registered as heritage at a state level, the expectations and rules around upkeep of the home can be more stringent. Because this is a specialist home and situation, you might be best off approaching an insurance broker to find you suitable insurance.
Hope this helps!
