Protection for your contents

RACV Contents Insurance covers the cost to repair or replace general items such as furniture, carpet and electrical equipment that have been damaged as a result of an insured event. You can also add optional cover to protect your portable items, like your favourite watch, to ensure you're covered outside the home. For full details, see our policy documents below.
Your policy

With an RACV Home Contents Insurance policy, you'll be covered for a range of events, such as fire, theft and storm. Here's a summary of what's included:

Credit card theft: Up to $1000 towards any money you must pay your credit card company if your card is stolen from your home and used without consent and your theft claim is covered.
Spoiled food or prescription medication replacement costs up to $500 if an insured event interrupts the electricity supply to your fridge or freezer.

New for old cover if an insured item is stolen, damaged or destroyed by any event listed in your policy.
Up to $20 million in liability cover to handle a claim made against you or your family for an incident that takes place at your home or site which causes death or injury to someone else, or causes loss or damage to someone else's property.

^{This is only a summary of the inclusions for RACV Contents Insurance. For more information, such as conditions, limits and exclusions, please read the Product Disclosure Statement.}
