North Queensland home insurance
In recent times, North Queensland has been severely impacted by natural disasters including cyclones and floods, and these disasters have contributed to rising insurance premiums.
This website is an Australian Government initiative designed to help North Queensland residents compare some home insurance policies and indicative premiums offered in North Queensland.
For this site, North Queensland is the area of Queensland north of the Tropic of Capricorn (latitude 23 degrees 30 minutes south).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: You must read before you can proceed
- Comparison results are indicative only: they do not take into account your particular circumstances or your specific property, and actual quotes may be significantly different (higher or lower). Results are not an offer of insurance.
- Don't focus only on premiums: you should consider coverage and policy features when deciding which policy best suits your needs.
- Policy features on this site are summaries and not complete: you should refer to information available directly from each insurer (including Key Facts Sheet, Product Disclosure Statement and other policy documentation) for complete details.
- Market coverage: this site does not include information for all North Queensland home insurers
- Point in time information: policy features and indicative quotes on this site are collected at a point in time. Refer to the FAQ on "How up to date is the information on this site?" for more information.
- More information: assumptions and disclaimers must be read in conjunction with using this website.

More information
- Disputes information: The Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) publishes some statistics on insurance disputes that it collates while performing its role providing a free external dispute resolution scheme for disputes about products that include home insurance. Please note that disputes in AFCA may not relate to claims and may contain information for all of Australia and not simply North Queensland. The information may be based on insurance company groups – not divided into particular insurance brands and will depend on the particular factual circumstances of each dispute.
- Assumptions:
- Specific characteristics have been selected based on common home insurance attributes for the North Queensland region, and key rating factors generally affecting premiums to give a range of profiles which is broadly representative of Buildings and Contents risks in North Queensland. These risk profiles are only an indication and are not tailored to your particular property, personal circumstances or relevant insurance history. As such, the resulting premium information is indicative only (your actual quotes may be higher or lower than the comparison results displayed). A quote obtained from an individual insurer will vary, perhaps significantly, from the indicative premiums presented on this website.
- These characteristics are a reasonably common combination of property characteristics in North Queensland locations with a sum insured at this level. A number of other assumptions have also been made.
