Is Your Home Insurance Actually Protecting You? Most Policies in Australia Miss This Critical Cover.

Updated: 3 days ago

Every day across Australia — especially in high-value homes in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs — accidents happen.A dropped laptop. Red wine on a wool carpet. A cracked stone benchtop. A DIY mishap gone wrong.


What most homeowners don’t realise is this:👉 Standard home insurance does not cover many of these everyday incidents.


This is where Accidental Damage Cover becomes essential — particularly for luxury homes in Vaucluse, Bellevue Hill, Rose Bay, Double Bay, Bondi, Bronte, and Mosman where repair and replacement costs are significantly higher.

Why Accidental Damage Cover Is Now Essential in 2025


Not all insurers automatically include accidental damage cover. In fact, many “basic” policies exclude the most common (and expensive) mishaps.


With Accidental Damage Cover, you get broad protection for:


Unintentional damage to your building and contents

Tech, devices, high-end furniture & premium materials

Spills, drops, knocks, breaks and day-to-day mishaps

Homes with kids, pets, visitors or high foot traffic

Luxury homes with designer finishes (stone, timber, custom joinery)

Avoiding out-of-pocket costs on everyday accidents


In premium suburbs, repairs aren’t cheap — one cracked splashback or spilled wine on natural stone can cost $2,000–$15,000 to fix.


Why Eastern Suburbs & High-Value Homes Are Most At Risk


Homes in luxury areas face higher repair costs, making accidental damage cover even more important:


🔹 Vaucluse & Dover Heights

High-end materials, architect-designed finishes.


🔹 Bellevue Hill & Double Bay

Premium flooring, heritage details, imported stone.


🔹 Rose Bay & Point Piper

Designer furniture & high-value contents.


🔹 Bondi, Tamarama & Bronte

High foot traffic, renters, pets, coastal lifestyle = more mishaps.


If you live in any of these suburbs, accidental damage cover is not optional — it’s financial protection.


The Real Cost of NOT Having Accidental Damage Cover


Without proper cover, you may be paying out-of-pocket for:


💥 Cracked induction cooktops

💥 Broken windows

💥 Damaged smart TVs or appliances

💥 Spilled liquids on carpets

💥 Destroyed décor or home office equipment

💥 Scratches and dents to surfaces

💥 Damaged flooring or tiles

💥 Water damage from minor accidents


These happen daily. And they’re almost never covered by basic policies.
