Customer Refunds

Making things right for our customers

There are times when we may identify an issue that affects some customer policies or claims. If this occurs, we are committed to resolving the issue and making things right for our affected customers as quickly as possible.

We are sorry if you have been affected by such an issue.

What happens if you’re affected?

If we find your current or former policies are affected by an issue we have identified, we will contact you by mail, email, phone, and/or SMS to provide more information and where applicable, a refund.

Sometimes, we may not have all the information we need to process your refund, so we may contact you and ask you to provide the further information.

Our correspondence may include a QR code which will direct you to our online Payment Form where you can enter your details and request your refund.

More information

When will I receive my refund?

Once you confirm your details with us, we’ll send you a letter or email with more information about your refund. Your refund will be processed within 15 business days from the date of that letter.

Why do you need me to provide my payment details?

Our preference is to pay refunds via bank transfer, so you have access to your refund payment as soon as possible. We may not have your most up to date bank account details on file and we want to make sure we can successfully process your refund.

What happens if I do not provide my payment details?

If we have asked you to provide your payment details and if we do not hear back from you, we may not be able to pay you the refund and we may be required to transfer the funds to a government revenue agency, according to the legislative requirements for your state or territory.

Can you provide a refund to my credit card? 

Due to existing system limitations, we are not able to provide refunds to credit cards.

What does the refund of other government charges include?

Other government charges are additional amounts paid by you and may include Emergency Services Levy, Fund Levy and/or stamp duty. If applicable, a refund of these charges has been included in your payment.

How was the interest calculated?

The interest rate we applied is in line with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) approach to calculating interest on refunds paid to customers and has been calculated from at least the date/s you were overcharged or incorrectly charged until at least the date the payment was issued.

Am I receiving this refund because my policy status or cover has changed?

No, your policy status or cover has not changed. We are just providing you with a refund for the period your policy has been impacted by this issue.

I’ve not received my refund yet, what do I need to do?

If you have not received your payment after 15 business days from this notification, please contact us using the details provided below. 

What if the payment is in the wrong name or my account details have changed?

If you feel the refund has been sent to the incorrect person or if your account details have changed, please contact us using the details provided below.

What if I have more than one policy impacted by an issue you have identified?

You may be contacted separately for each policy that is impacted by an issue we have identified.
