CUSTOMER INFORMATION
About this insurance
Thank you for insuring your home with the Defence Service Homes
Insurance Scheme. Your home is probably worth more than any of
your other possessions, so it is important that you insure it effectively.
We have designed this policy to provide you with exactly that kind of
security. Not only do we offer to effectively protect you against loss
and damage to your home, we also offer to protect you against related
expenses, accidental loss or damage, broken glass, fusion of electric
motors, owner’s or occupier’s legal liability, and death.
This insurance is available as a benefit for people who qualify under the
Defence Service Homes Act 1918, the Veterans’ Entitlements Act 1986,
the Defence Force (Home Loans Assistance) Act 1990 or the Defence Home Ownership Assistance Scheme Act 2008.
General Insurance Code of Practice
The Defence Service Homes Insurance Scheme has voluntarily adopted
the General Insurance Code of Practice.
The Code sets out standards of good practice and service. It provides
guidelines for claims handling, dispute resolution, agent and employee
training, and for writing policies and other insurance documents.
In doing this, the aim of the Code is to promote both an improved
standard of insurance, and good relations between insurers, insurance
agents, and consumers.
If you want further information about the Code, please contact your
local state office on 1300 552 662.
About your policy
This booklet is your insurance policy. It tells you the types of claims we
will and will not pay for. It also tells you your rights and obligations
and what may happen if you fail in your obligations.
Understanding your policy
We have written your policy in Plain English to make it easier for you
to understand.
If you have any questions about the policy or if you need us to explain any
part of it to you, please contact your local state office on 1300 552 662.
Make sure you read all of it carefully, and keep it in a safe place with
your certificate.
“You” and “us” and other defined words
In your policy and certificate:
“you” or “your” means any person named as “the insured” on your
certificate, and
“we” or “our” or “us” means the Defence Service Homes Insurance
Scheme.
Some other words used in your policy and certificate have special
defined meanings. We either explain the word’s meaning in the place
it appears, or, if the word is in bold, we explain its meaning in the
Definitions section on pages 35 – 37.
The insurance contract
When you buy this policy, you are making a contract of insurance with
us.
In this contract:
• you agree to pay us a premium, and in return
• we agree to provide you with the insurance described in this
policy and which is shown on your certificate.
Your premium
Your premium is the amount you must pay us for the insurance we
provide. You must pay a premium when you first buy the policy and
each year that you renew the policy. When you renew your policy,
we adjust your premium so that it takes account of any changes in
building costs we insure you for.
The premium you must pay is shown on your certificate. You must
pay this amount by the date shown on your certificate as the starting
date for the policy. (The starting date is the first date that appears after
“Period:” in the certificate.)
When your insurance starts
Your insurance only starts when you pay us the “Total Premium Due”
shown on your certificate. The total premium will be shown on your certificate. It is the amount we charge you for this Insurance Policy and it includes the amount, which we have calculated will cover the risk plus any taxes, and government charges. If you pay by monthly instalments, the premium means the total of the instalments you must pay for the full policy period.
How you can pay your premium
You can pay your premium
· in one annual payment
· in monthly instalments by direct debit from your credit card or from your account with your financial provider (if we offer this option to you).
Paying your annual premium
If you do not pay your premium by the starting date for the policy then your policy will not be in operation.
Paying your instalment premium
If you are paying your premium by instalments, we will deduct the instalments each month on the day of the month that you nominate as the payment date.
If you are renewing your policy and you paid your previous policy by instalments then we will continue to deduct the instalments for the renewed policy on the day you previously nominated as the payment date, unless you tell us otherwise.
Details of your instalments are shown on your Certificate of Insurance.
What happens if your instalment is unpaid?
If any instalment of premium has remained unpaid for one month, we may cancel this policy. We will send you a notice giving you details of the action we intend to take and when any cancellation will become effective.
We may refuse a claim on your policy that occurs more than 30 days after the due date of an unpaid instalment.
Changing your instalment payments
If you wish to change or cancel your direct debit arrangements you need to advise us at least seven days before the next instalment is due.
If you want the policy to remain in force but wish to cancel your direct debit arrangements we will immediately deduct all remaining unpaid instalments from the account or credit card you previously nominated for monthly instalment deductions.
The Cost of this Insurance policy
When calculating your premium we take a range of rating factors into account. These factors and the degree, to which they affect your premium, will depend upon the information you provide us.
The following factors may have a significant impact on the calculation of your premium:
· the location of your home. If the location presents a higher risk, the premium will be higher.
· the sum insured. The higher the sum insured, the higher the premium.
· your past claims experience. Your premium will be lower if you have a good claims history under similar policies.
· the construction of your home. If your home is constructed of materials that will result in a greater risk of a fire, the premium will be higher.
· whether your home is strata title and subject to Body Corporate Insurance. The premium will be lower if your body corporate also insures the building.
If you are renewing your policy, the amount due
also includes money you still owe us, or credits we owe you. Remember,
if you do not pay us, you have no insurance.
Terms of the contract
Your policy and certificate are the terms of the contract. These are the
terms that apply if you make a claim, so it is important that you:
• read both of these documents fully and carefully, and
• make sure that all information on your certificate is accurate and
up to date.
14 day money back guarantee
If you are not totally satisfied, you may cancel the insurance contract
up to 14 days after you receive it by:
• telling us in writing that you want to cancel it, and
• returning the policy and certificate to your local state office
(you will find the address on the back of this policy).
If you cancel the contract in this time, we will:
• return to you all of the premium you have paid us, and
• treat your contract with us as though it never existed.
To cancel at other times, please see “Cancelling your insurance” on page 11.
Others you want this insurance to protect
If someone other than you has an interest in the home (for example,
a bank that is mortgagee of the home), and if you want this policy to
protect their interest, then:
• you must tell us in writing who they are and what interest they
have in the home, and
• we must consent to insuring them with this policy, and
• their names must be shown under “Other interested parties” on
your certificate.
Unless all of these things happen, this policy does not protect them.
Your sum insured
Your sum insured is the total amount that you insure the home for,
using this policy. We work out this amount and show it on your
certificate.
Your sum insured is made up of:
• the amount we estimate that it would cost to totally rebuild the
home, plus
• an amount to cover these additional expenses up to a maximum of 20% of the sum insured
– temporary accommodation
– lost rent
– landlord’s fixtures and fittings
– extra costs related to building
– legal costs for discharge of mortgage
– matching decor
– trees, shrubs and plants.
When it is time to renew your policy, we adjust your sum insured so
that it takes account of any changes in building costs.
If you think that the sum insured shown on your certificate is not
enough to properly insure your home, please contact your local state
office as soon as possible on 1300 552 662.
How claims affect your sum insured
If we pay you a claim that is less than the sum insured, the amount
of the sum insured automatically returns to what it was just before
you made the claim. This means that the next claim you make will be
against the restored amount of the sum insured.
You do not have to pay us any extra premium for restoring your sum
insured in this way.
If we pay you any claim that is equal to or greater than the sum
insured, your insurance contract with us ends.
The protection we offer
This policy tells you the types of claims we will and will not pay for. It
is important that you read all of the policy to make sure you understand
the protection we offer.
It is also important that you are aware of the limits on the amounts we
pay you in this policy. You can find these limits in the policy in the
“Limits on what we pay” sections.
Claims
Making a claim
Please note, if more than one person is insured with this policy, we
will treat a claim by any one of those people as a claim by all of those
people.
As soon as possible after the event that gives rise to a claim, you must:
• report the event to the Police if it involves loss or damage to your
property caused by:
– acts intended to cause loss or damage
– theft or attempted theft
– a vehicle (other than a vehicle you own) colliding with the
home
(You must cooperate with the Police in their investigations.)
• contact us and tell us the details of what has happened
• give us reasonable time to inspect the loss or damage before you
let anyone fix or interfere with it
• give us any information about the claim that we ask you for
• tell us about any other insurance you have for the type of claim
you are making on this policy
• protect the home and site against further loss or damage
• complete our claim form, if we ask for one, and take or mail it to
your local state office. (You will find the address on the back of
this policy.)
Where possible, you should keep evidence of the value of insured
property and also of the costs of loss or damage (for example valuation
certificates and receipts).
This will help to minimise delay in processing your claim.
If we agree to pay your claim
If we agree to pay your claim:
· We will take over conduct of the claim;
· We may give information about your claim to solicitors, loss adjusters or any other people who act for us in assessing, investigating, settling or defending the claim;
· We may:
o settle or defend the claim, or
o make or accept any offer or payment, or admit you are liable.
· If the loss or damage you claim for was caused by a third party, you agree to us using any of the legal rights you have against the third party to recover the amount of your claim. This means that we may pursue a claim in court in your name.
· If we recover money from the third party who caused the loss or damage, we will keep an amount equal to the amount we paid you for the claim plus any administrative costs pursuant to the Insurance Contracts Act 1984.
· You must cooperate with us to recover the amount of the claim.
· We may take possession and ownership of the damaged property.
Your excess
The excess is the amount that you have to pay for each claim you make under the policy. We will not make any payments under the policy until you have paid the excess.
The excess that applies to your policy is stated in your certificate.
For a claim under Part 2 Accidental loss or damage (excluding a claim for glass) an excess of $100 will apply.
For a claim under Part 1 Loss or Damage to your home for earthquake an excess of $200 will apply.
The excess is the same for every policy.
More than one excess may apply to a claim.
When we may refuse a claim
1. You must tell us in writing if:
• the home is going to be unoccupied for more than 90 consecutive
days, or
• you, your family, or anyone who lives in the home, is going to
start using the home or part of it, for business purposes, or
• you, or someone with your consent, is going to improve,
modify or add to the home.
If you do not tell us about these things in writing before they happen,
we may refuse your claim.
2. We may refuse a claim if you:
• fail in your duty of disclosure (see pages 12 – 13),
• fail to contact us as soon as possible after the event or incident
that gives rise to the claim,
• fail to send to us as soon as possible after you receive them, any:
– letters, notices, or
– court documents,
relating to any event
or incident that resulted or could result in a claim, or
• unreasonably refuse to give us the information and help we ask
you for.
3. We may refuse a claim or reduce the amount we pay you for your
claim if:
• you make a fraudulent claim, or
• the loss or damage you claim for is intentionally caused by you
or by a person acting with your consent.
4. We may refuse a claim if you fail to take reasonable care to:
• protect and maintain the home and site,
• prevent death, bodily injury, or illness to other people, or loss or
damage to their property, or
• comply with all laws and regulations for protecting people or
their property.
5. We may refuse a claim if you do any of the following without us first
agreeing to it:
• make or accept any offer or payment, or in any other way admit
you are liable for the loss or damage,
• settle or defend a claim, or
• sue a person who causes the loss or damage.
6. We may refuse a claim if you do not cooperate with us in our
attempts to:
• assess a claim,
• settle or defend a claim, or
• recover the amount we pay for a claim from whoever caused the
loss or damage.
We may also refuse a claim if you do not cooperate with our solicitors,
loss adjusters, investigators or any other people who act for us in any
of these matters.
Please note, cooperating with us includes going to court to give
evidence if we need you to.
Cancelling your insurance
You may cancel your insurance contract at any time by telling us that you want to cancel it.
We
may only cancel your insurance contract when the law says we can. We must either send or give you a written notice telling you that we are
cancelling it.
In either case, we may subtract from any premium you pay us:
• an amount to cover the period that we have already insured you for,
and
• administrative fees for issuing and cancelling the contract,
then return the balance of the premium to you.
If you are currently paying your premium by monthly instalments then you must pay us any monthly instalments that are due but unpaid. You authorise us to deduct these amounts by direct debit from the account or credit card you previously nominated for monthly instalment deductions.
If you cancel the insurance contract within 14 days of receiving it, we
will return all the premium you have paid us. Please see “14 day money
back guarantee” on page 6.
In deciding whether to insure you or renew your insurance (and if so, on what terms) we reserve the right to:
· increase your premium
· impose excess
· increase excess
· limit or refuse insurance we offer in this policy
· refuse to offer to renew your policy.
We will only exercise this right if we think that the home is especially exposed to any of the risks we insure against in this policy.
Duty of disclosure
We rely on the information you give us in your application to decide if we should insure you or not. Because this information is so important to us, the law says there are certain matters that you must tell us about when you apply for this insurance. The law calls this your duty of disclosure.
Your duty
Before you enter into the insurance contract you must tell us everything
that you:
• know, or
• could reasonably be expected to know,
that is relevant to us deciding if and on what terms we will insure you.
You must also do this every time you renew, extend, or make changes
to your policy, but only for matters you have not told us about before.
If you fail in your duty
If you do not tell us about these matters at the proper time, we may do
any of the following:
• decrease the amount we pay you for a claim,
• refuse to pay you a claim,
• treat your contract with us as though it never existed (if you
fraudulently kept information from us), and/or
• cancel your policy.
It is important to note that if more than one person is insured with this
policy, we will treat an act, omission, or a statement or claim by any
one of those people as an act, omission, or a statement or claim by all
of those people.
Information you do not have to give us
You do not
have to tell us anything: • that we say or indicate we do not want to know,
• that we know or, as insurers, we should know,
• that decreases the risk we are insuring you for, or
• that is common knowledge.

includes that part of the rainfall that is not absorbed by the soil but

entering the home because of:
• defects in the structure or design of the home
• defects in building work done on the home
• an opening made in the home so that it could be added to,
renovated, repaired or modified
• failing to properly maintain the home.
We also do not insure you for loss or damage to the external paint work

bursting, leaking, discharging or overflowing of liquid from any:
• shower base or shower walls
• fixed tank or fixed pipe
• gutters or drain
• other equipment that is fixed to the home and used mainly to
hold or carry liquid.
If we agree to pay your claim for loss or damage caused by this event,
we will also pay the reasonable cost of locating the source of the
escaped liquid.
What we do not insure you for
We do not insure you for loss or damage that is caused by liquid
splashing or gradually escaping because of something other than a
sudden burst, leak, discharge or overflow.
We do not insure you for the costs of repairing or replacing:
• the defective item, or a defective part of the item, that causes the
loss or damage, or
• any leaking shower base or shower walls.
11 Riot or violent civil disorder
What we insure you for
We insure you for loss or damage to the home caused by riot or violent
civil disorder.

If we agree to pay your claim, we also pay the reasonable costs of
removing the fallen tree or branch to the nearest dumping ground.
What we do not insure you for
We do not insure you for loss or damage to the home caused by
lopping or felling a tree if that is done by you or with your consent.
What we pay
A. Repairing or rebuilding your home
If we agree to pay a claim for loss or damage to the home, we may
choose to:
• pay you a cash amount for what we think are the reasonable
costs of repairing or rebuilding the home, or
• pay the reasonable costs you actually incur in repairing the home
if it is damaged (but if it costs less to rebuild the damaged part
of the home than to repair it, we will pay the reasonable costs of
rebuilding it instead), or
• pay the reasonable costs you actually incur in rebuilding the
home if it is destroyed.
Please note, if we agree with you that it would be inappropriate to
rebuild the home, we will pay you the market value of the home before
it was destroyed less the amount it costs us to pay off any mortgage on
the home.
We will pay the reasonable costs of repairing or rebuilding the home on a ‘new for old’ basis to a condition substantially the same as but not better than when new.
Where possible, we will pay the reasonable costs of matching materials
used in repairing or rebuilding with those originally used. But we do
not promise to repair or rebuild the home to exactly
as it was before the loss or damage occurred.
We only pay the costs of repairing or rebuilding those parts of the
home that are directly destroyed or damaged by an event.
If you have to rebuild the home, you may build it on another site – but
if changing the site increases the costs of rebuilding the home, you
must pay the amount of this increase.
Please note, we will only pay the reasonable costs of repairing or
rebuilding the home if:
• the home has been kept in good repair and condition. This means
it must be structurally sound, secure, and well maintained. If it
is not, we have to reassess the value of the home before we work
out the costs we will pay you. We do this by decreasing the value
of the home, taking into account its age and the extent it has
deteriorated.
• you start repairing or rebuilding the home within 6 months from
when the loss or damage happens. If you do not, and the delay
increases the costs of repair or rebuilding, you must pay the
amount of that increase.

B. Additional expenses we pay for
As part of your sum insured, we insure you for these additional
