What can be claimed under building insurance in Australia includes fire, storm, flood, theft, vandalism, water damage from burst pipes and accidental breakage, for $500K to $1M rebuild plus demolition and accommodation. Under building insurance $1,200 to $1,800 per year for $500K building from NRMA, Allianz, Budget Direct, you can claim fire including bushfire destroying house $500K rebuild, storm and hail damage to roof $10K to $50K, flood if flood cover included $20K to $100K, theft and vandalism damage to building $5K to $20K such as broken windows and doors, water damage from burst pipes $10K to $50K for walls and floors, accidental breakage of glass windows $1K to $5K, lightning and earthquake damage $20K to $100K, plus demolition and removal $20K, architect and council fees $10K and emergency accommodation $10K if home uninhabitable due to insured event. You can also claim $20M public liability if visitor injured on property $100K to $500K claim for fall. For example, if storm damages roof $30K, you claim $30K minus excess $500 to $1,000, insurer pays $29K. So building insurance claims cover fire, storm, flood, theft, water damage, glass breakage, demolition and accommodation, with total $500K to $1M rebuild plus extras, essential for mortgage $500K.
