Safety net home protection

OPTIONAL

There are times when the cost of repairing or replacing a home exceeds what you’ve insured it for. At Suncorp Insurance, we know that this can happen. If your home is damaged and the cost of repairing or rebuilding it is more than your home sum insured, Safety net home protection may be for you. Learn more about this optional coverage below.
