How to make a claim

The first point of contact – lodge a claim online 24/7 or by phone. Keep in mind that call centre delays are common during severe weather events.
Have this information ready:

  • Your policy number
  • An authorised person on the policy
  • Details on when, where and how the incident occurred

We’ll assess the damage and map out the next steps.

  • Damage inspection: we’ll arrange an assessment – remember to not dispose of any damaged items unless they’re unsafe.
  • Specialist help: we may bring in specialists to help us better understand the cause and extent of the damage.
  • Next steps: we’ll keep you updated, inform you if your claim is accepted, and discuss repairs or settlement options.

Once the assessment is complete and your claim is accepted, we’ll keep things moving.

  • Settlement options: depending on your situation, we’ll arrange repairs, replacement or a cash settlement. 
  • Scope of works: if approved, we'll organise repairs with a builder or service provider.
  • Repairs begin: once you’ve signed the scope and paid the excess, we’ll start the repairs.

Stay on top of your claim with real-time updates – know what’s happening and what to expect next.

  • Online Claims Tracker: check the status of your claim – anywhere and anytime – with your unique login details.
  • Regular updates: our claims team will keep you informed every step of the way.
  • Direct contact: there may be times when builders or service providers reach out to you directly to provide updates on repairs.

It’s time to finalise your claim.

  • Sign off: we'll confirm the work has been completed to your satisfaction.
  • Guaranteed repair quality: authorised repairs are backed by our quality guarantee for as long as you – or a listed driver if your claim relates to your car or motorocycle insurance – own the insured property.1

Making a claim with us is a simple process. You can make a claim online at www.youi.com.au or on the Youi app. You can also call Youi’s claims team on 13 YOUI (9684).

Our claims team will let you know what to provide. This could include:

  • your policy number
  • a description of what happened, when and where
  • the type and extent of the damage
  • details of anyone else who was involved such as name, address, driver’s licence  and/or registration number
  • Police Incident Number if the police were called

If you don’t have your policy number to hand that’s ok, the following information will help us locate your policy details:

  • The policyholders name, address or date of birth or;
  • For vehicle claims - the registration number of the insured vehicle or;
  • For home claims, the address of the insured property.

We calculate your premium based on many factors, including your claims history.  As we give you the best price up front, we don’t use the typical ‘No Claims Discount’ or ‘Rating’ system.

The types of excess that may apply include:

  • basic excess: the amount you pay for each claim, listed in your policy schedule.
  • reduced windscreen excess: optional lower excess for claims involving only windscreen, window glass or sunroof.
  • additional excess: may apply in specific situations, as outlined in your policy schedule.
  • driver-specific excess: this applies for unlisted or young drivers and is added to other excesses.

Yes. If you have this optional cover, we will pay for the fair and reasonable costs of repairs as determined by us. These repairs may be carried out by a repairer from outside our repair network.

When we agree to pay your claim, we also guarantee all repairs, provided we have chosen and authorised the repairer.

No, that’s our job. You just need to contact us with the details and we’ll take it from there.

Safety comes first, so always consider local emergency guidance. Once safe and you would like to make a claim, give Youi a call on 13 YOUI (9684) to discuss your situation and see how we can help.
