Sharon, 67 - VIC Travel Insurance Customer
Seeking a quote on Travel Insurance was made very easy by the agents I spoke to today. Carl, firstly, was very patient, concise and considerate. He explained everything and made sure I understood what he had said at each junction. I then took time to read over the emailed quote and when I rang back and spoke with Amanda, she was also pleasant, patient and clearly spoken. She answered a couple more questions I had before I committed to the quote. The quote itself was at a reasonable cost. I would definitely recommend and will come back to them in the future.
Frankie, 53 - NSW Caravan Insurance Customer
Aaron was excellent, very patient, very clear on policy details, polite and we did not feel like just another caller. Look after him National Seniors, he's a keeper.
David, 68 - NSW Travel Insurance Customer
Aaron did a great job going over my almost complete quote, uncovered some mistakes I had made and made sure my travel insurance covered everything I needed. Made it all easy.
Penny, 70 - VIC Travel Insurance Customer
I can't speak highly enough of the help Sinead gave me when choosing my travel insurance for an upcoming 6-week trip to Ireland. She explained everything and made it all so easy. I will certainly recommend her to any senior planning to travel. Many thanks Sinead.
Lee, 66 - QLD Caravan Insurance Customer
Sinead presented herself as a very happy, knowledgeable person with terrific people skills, she answered all of my questions without hesitation. This lady has nailed it, she knows how to make a potential client feel important and she treats people with respect. It was late on the Friday, and we ran out of time to finalise the deal, Sinead promised me that she would phone me on the Monday around 9:00am, sure enough she did! Sinead is a first-class employee, and she deserves a high level of recognition.
Deb, 69 - NSW Caravan Insurance Customer
Narelle was exceptional in every way as a representative of Australian Seniors Insurance. She went out of her way to explain our caravan insurance policy in detail. Narelle was friendly, knowledgeable, competent and had an obvious love for her job in her attitude towards the customer, especially making sure we felt confident with every detail before signing up to our new policy. This was particularly important as we had used another provider for the past 46 years. Narelle gave me time to discuss the new policy with my husband after my initial enquiry and rang back exactly as promised to finalise payment. Narelle is huge asset to your insurance company.
Desmond, 77 - VIC
Travel Insurance Customer
Sinead provided excellent assistance in arranging my insurance cover for my travel next year. She had good product knowledge, very good interpersonal skills and always delivered what she promised within agreed timeframes. From a customer's perspective, personnel such as Sinead are great to deal with and should be valued and retained.

Jeremy was the most helpful person I have ever spoken to. Thank you so much Jeremy, I wish there were more caring and experienced people like you.
Angus, 79 - QLD
Travel Insurance customer
What a pleasure it has been to enquire about travel insurance with Sinead. She was so professional and helpful at all times. She was a pleasure to talk with and answered every question I had regarding travel insurance and above all returned my phone calls quickly with any questions she wasn't sure of. National Seniors Insurance are blessed to have such a delightful, helpful person working for them and I would recommend Sinead to any of my friends for travel insurance.
Mandy, 73 - QLD
Travel Insurance customer
I would like to say that Sinead was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in quoting for insurance for a couple of policies we were getting for comparison for. She is very friendly, easy to talk to and makes you feel like a friend rather than just another customer, which I like. I would recommend anyone to contact her for their insurance quotes.

Do what you reasonably can to prevent any further loss, damage, or liability. Tell the police as soon as reasonably possible about any malicious damage, theft, attempted theft, burglary, or loss of insured property.
Start your Landlord Insurance claim online 24/7
Complete the secure online claim form, and a friendly claims representative will contact you as soon as possible to discuss the next steps. Alternatively, you can contact the Claims Call Centre on 1300 55 50 30 to submit your claim. The claims consultant will help you through the home and contents insurance claims process.
To help you estimate the replacement value of your buildings and contents, we have calculators available. It’s up to you to decide the sums insured, and the type and level of cover that you want to take out. If you don’t have enough cover, you could end up having to cover some of the costs yourself.
Remember, we will only pay up to the amount of your loss or the sum insured, whichever is the lesser (subject to the policy terms and conditions) - so you should also be careful not to over insure. That's why we've provided these calculators. They work as guides to help you estimate the replacement value of your home buildings and contents.
How do I know if I have optional covers on my policy?
You can apply to add these options to your policy when you start or renew it (or during your period of insurance by contacting National Seniors Insurance on 1300 50 50 99). If you're not sure whether you have added these cover options, you can check your policy schedule.
Who is Landlord insurance policy designed for?
This insurance policy has been designed for people who are renting their property out to tenants under a residential rental agreement.
Contents owned by you (or for which you are legally responsible) and provide for the use of the tenants may also be covered under the policy.
This policy is not suitable for covering the building or contents of the home you live in. In this regard, we offer a Home and Contents product that has been specifically designed for homeowners or renters.
For more information on Home and Contents insurance, please visit the product page.
Am I covered for Flood?
Flood cover is a Standard inclusion for all Landlord Insurance policies that start from 14 January 2025.
For Landlord Insurance policies starting before 14 January, flood cover was optional. If you’re a renewing customer, you may be able to continue without flood cover if:
- You previously opted out and met certain flood risk criteria,
- We weren’t able to offer you flood cover,
- We’ve agreed you can opt-out of flood cover as standard.
For full details of terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions of all our home insurance cover options, please refer to the relevant Product Disclosure Statement, any supplementary PDS and Landlord Buildings or Landlord Contents Key Fact Sheets.

Information contained on this website is general information only.
1. Online discount
When you both quote and buy a new Landlord insurance policy online a premium discount of up to 10% is applied to your first year’s premium. This discount is not applied to Landlord workers’ compensation (if available and selected, not available from 21 December 2025), or upon renewal. Minimum premiums may apply.
2. NCB
When you take out a new policy, we calculate your No Claims Bonus (NCB) based on your home or landlord (as applicable) insurance claims history. To qualify for the maximum No Claim Bonus of up to 30%, home insurance customers must have had no Building or Contents insurance claims in the preceding 5 years. Landlord customers must have had no Landlord insurance claims in the preceding 3 years. However, customers who have had claims may still qualify for a reduced No Claim Bonus. We won’t apply the full percentage of the No Claim Bonus if it results in you paying less than the minimum premium. The No Claim Bonus isn’t applied to the flood component of the premium (if covered), or Landlord workers’ compensation (if available and selected, not available from 21 December 2025).
3. Minimum premiums
Where discounts are applied, your premium is subject to rounding. If more than one discount applies, they’re applied in a predetermined order, so the later discounts apply to the amount already reduced by the earlier discounts instead of the total amount. Discounts do not apply to government taxes and charges.
Most discounts won’t apply below the minimum amount payable for the policy.
4. Option to change your excess
Not available with respect to any additional compulsory excess, or to any imposed excess applied to the policy. Any reduction in premium won’t be applied to government taxes and charges, any flood component of the premium (where covered), or to Landlord’s workers compensation (if available and selected, not available from 21 December 2025) and the Theft by Tenant part of the optional cover Rent Default and Theft by Tenant (if selected). Minimum premiums may apply.
5. Instalment premiums
If you choose to pay your premium by instalments, you do not pay us any more than if you pay your premium in one lump sum annually. The premiums payable by instalments may be subject to minor adjustments (upwards or downwards) due to rounding. Note: Your financial institution may apply transaction fees to instalment payments.
6. 72 Hour exclusion period
We may not provide cover for any loss of or damage to your property caused by cyclone, flood, flood water combined with run-off and/or rainwater, grassfires and bushfires during the first 72 hours after you first purchase a policy or increase your cover under an existing policy. Refer to PDS for when exclusion periods apply.
7. Earthquake excess
An additional imposed excess amount of $250 applies for each claim or loss or damage caused by an earthquake or tsunami, or a series pf earthquake or tsunamis, during any period of 48 consecutive hours.
