There are a few reasons your belongings may be damaged or lost while they’re away from home for which we will cover you:
while they’re in transit within Australia, for example, during a relocation to your new permanent address
while they’re in commercial storage
or while they’ve been temporarily removed from your property for up 180 days.
If you’re referring to items that you normally carry with you when you’re away from home – such as your mobile phone, jewellery, camera, bike, or laptop – then these are referred to as ‘Portable Valuables’. Portable Valuables aren’t always automatically covered, but you can add optional cover to your policy for an extra premium.
