For home owners wishing to cover their home and contents, NAB has two policies on offer. The first, NAB Home Insurance Essentials, covers your home and contents with several provisions for emergency storage and accommodation. NAB Home Insurance offers everything essentials has plus some extras. Both policies also come with $20 million legal liability cover, 24-hour claims service and discounts of up to 10% for combining home and contents insurance.

  • It is caused by lawful confiscation, destruction, detention, nationalisation, requisition or seizure
  • It is caused by war or terrorism
  • It arises due to depreciation, gradual deterioration or wear and tear

  • It is caused by mechanical or electrical breakdown or failure
  • It is for the cost of data recovery
  • It is for consequential loss

NAB home insurance excess

The excess is the amount you are required to pay towards the cost of a claim, unless the insurer states that no excess is payable. The amount of the excess you need to pay is set out in your policy schedule and you also have the flexibility to increase your excess amount in return for reduced premiums.

You are only required to pay one excess in respect of any single claim that arises out of the same insured incident, or that causes loss or damage to both buildings and contents arising out of the same insured event.

However, an excess of $200 (or any greater amount shown in the policy schedule) applies to earthquake claims.

Who is eligible for a home insurance policy with NAB?

There are no special eligibility requirements you need to satisfy in order to qualify for a NAB home and contents insurance policy. Cover is available for all owners of Australian residential property.
