Losing your home is a traumatic experience, and one we hope you’ll never have to endure. But it’s wise to be protected just in case. NRMA Home Buildings Insurance helps you to repair or rebuild your home if its damaged by fire or a range of other events. Our policy covers:

• The replacement of your home, which means we will repair or rebuild it to its former state up to the sum insured.
  

• You can also choose to rebuild your home in another style, within the costs allowed.
  

• Breakage of glass in windows, door and skylights.
  

• The cost of temporary accommodation if the damage is so bad we decide you can’t live in your home.
  

• The cost of removing debris, employing architects and engineers to repair the damage or rebuild.
  

• Up to $10 million liability cover if you are found legally liable for someone’s injury or for damage to their property which occurs in your home or on the site.

If you need help calculating the value of your home, use our Home Buildings Calculator. It will help you work out how much you need to insure for. Remember, it is your responsibility to make sure your home is insured for its full replacement value.

Helpline

One of the many advantages of being with NRMA Insuracne is the extra benefits you can access. Like our 24 hour helpline.

Because emergencies can arise anywhere and anytime, our 24 hour Helpline offers immediate advice and emergency assistance over the phone if you encounter any difficulties while you’re at home or travelling within Australia. No matter how unusual the situation, we’ll do our best to help.

Help on the Road

If you or a member of your family are travelling away from home anywhere in Australia, Helpline can provide you with travel advice and directions. We can:

• assist with booking accommodation

• assist with the cancelling of credit cards

• assist with the reissuing of tickets if they get lost or stolen

Home Sweet Home

Of course things aren’t always sweet. If you or a member of your family has a disaster at home, we can:

• arrange for advice from a tradesperson who can help you over the phone with maintenance or repair problems - no matter how big or small

• arrange for a tradesperson to give you an estimate of likely repair costs so nothing comes as a surprise, later on

In Sickness And In Health

If you are ill or injured when you’re away from home in Australia, we can:

• arrange for you to talk by phone to a trained nurse or doctor, who may refer you to a nearby medical facility

• let your relatives or friends know
