If the worst were to happen to your home, your business, or perhaps even your car-would you be adequately insured?

Despite so many insurance products readily available, according to a survey by the Insurance Council of Australia (ICA), more than 83 per cent of Aussie households believe they may be underinsured when it comes to home and contents insurance.

And research by Vanguard Investments based on Rice Warner's Under insurance in Australia 2017 report shows the average Australian family would have only 47 per cent of their basic needs covered if they needed to claim through their life insurance.

In these uncertain times, keeping your insurance policies up to date can be a simple way for peace-of-mind. So how do you minimise your risk of under insurance and being hundreds or thousands of dollars out of pocket if something goes wrong?

Michael Carollo from View Insurance said the best place to start is by getting the right advice.

"Underinsurance is something anyone can expose themselves to when they try and acquire insurance on their own," Michael said.

"It's easy these days to go online and purchase insurance products and do it yourself, but subject to a range of factors, underinsurance becomes a real risk.

"For example, a lot of people will get a cracking price on home and contents insurance, but if heaven forbid they experience a total loss and that home burns down, their coverage might be enough to rebuild their home, but it might not be enough to actually clear the site or prepare it for rebuild.

"The best way to mitigate that is to find an experienced broker to guide you on the type of cover you require."

View Insurance is combination of digital insurance providers and the convenience of traditional over the phone friendly personalised service.

"View Insurance leverages our insurance experience to bring you an easy way to access insurance products with great coverage in the way that suits our clients, combined with getting the best competitive pricing and access to different insurers," Michael said.

"You can get an online quote with one of our carefully selected insurance partners or pick up the phone if you would like a View specialist to help you find a product that works for you."

A policy with heart

And View Insurance isn't just there to support their customers, they're also passionate about supporting communities and giving back.

View are committing an amount equal to 2 per cent of each individual policy (calculated on the base premium amount) to the Kindness Factory to help them bring their Kind Schools Curriculum to schools in your local area. They call it 'policies with heart.'

The Kindness Factory started as a website that collated random acts of kindness and has evolved into the Kindness Schools Network that helps schools embed 12 Attributes of Kindness into the school curriculum giving kids some tools to help with their own challenges in life.
