When to contact your insurer
In most cases, your claim is managed by your private insurer. If you have made a claim with your insurer, they will have assigned you a claims manager that should be your first point of contact.
Please contact them directly if you have any questions about your claim, or have discovered more natural hazard damage after your claim has been settled.
If you have an insurance broker, contact them directly to confirm how they can assist you with your claim.
