Steps you can take to protect your information
It’s still very important that you take some steps to help keep up security when you’re online:
How do you make sure you’re going to the right website?
Always go directly to our website by typing the address www.nrma.com.au rather than following links found in emails or elsewhere online.
Keeping safe with email
Never disclose personal, financial or debit/credit card information by email. Contact us if you’re unsure of the legitimacy of any email that appears to have come from us.
We will never ask for sensitive or personal information such as usernames, passwords or policy details if you haven’t asked for our help first.
By helping us with these things, we can both work to make your world a safer place. To report any concerns around the security or privacy of your information please email cybersecurity@iag.com.au.

Identity Theft is where a criminal is able, through deception, to obtain enough personal and information about you so as to fool organisations into believing they are dealing with their customer. This is a significant problem in Australia today and it's important to keep an eye on any policies you hold.
How can you tell if this has happened to you?
One common signal that you are the target of identity crime is unexpected changes to your bank and insurance policies.
What can you do?
If you think that there's been changes to your insurance policies with us that you suspect were caused by an unauthorised person, such as the addition of new policies, or changes to your address or date of birth, please contact us on 132 132.
