Let us guide you through the process

  • If an assessment  is required:
    • Our team will arrange for an assessor and/or building consultant to visit your home and asses your loss.  Once your loss has been assessed and your claim accepted we may authorise repairs to be completed and/or authorise the replacement of your items through our preferred suppliers (this may be in the form of a gift card).  If you have your own quote please advise RACQ at the time of lodgement
  • If you have been affected by a storm or flood:
  • If something is causing or threatening to damage your home and is urgent, please all the SES on 132 500, otherwise call RACQ Home Assistance who may be able to assist you for common home incidents.
