How to make a claim
Australian Unity makes the claims process simple with several flexible options designed to suit your needs.
Claim on the spot with GapOnly For the most convenient experience, ask your vet if they offer GapOnly. This allows your claim to be processed in real-time while you are still at the clinic, meaning you only pay the gap—the difference between your vet's invoice and your policy benefit.
Submit online via the Pet Portal You can lodge a claim 24/7 through the Australian Unity Pet Portal. Simply log in, upload a copy of your itemised tax invoice and the relevant consultation notes, and submit. This digital process allows you to track the status of your claim at any time.
Request a Vet-assisted eClaim Many veterinary clinics can submit an electronic claim on your behalf. Once your pet has been treated, ask your vet to send the invoice and clinical records directly to us, reducing the paperwork you need to handle yourself.
FAQs
Australian Unity’s pet insurance has waiting periods before you can claim for certain conditions. While accidents incur no waiting periods, there are waiting periods for illnesses and dental conditions. We recommended checking the PDS for exact waiting periods for specific illnesses and treatments.
You can use any licensed vet in Australia with Australian Unity pet insurance, which means you aren’t restricted to a particular network of clinics when claiming for treatment.
Pre-existing conditions are not covered under Australian Unity pet insurance. Some temporary conditions may become eligible if they haven’t shown symptoms for a period (as defined in the policy), but chronic pre-existing issues will most likely be excluded from cover.

Important information about this website
Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.
Some content on this site may be generated or supported by AI tools. You should verify details directly with the provider.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.
