What do I have to tell my insurer in Australia?

General information from Lawmateanz

For most consumer insurance in Australia, you have a duty to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation when answering the insurer's questions.

Answer questions honestly and completely.

If you misrepresent something, the insurer may be able to reduce or refuse a claim, or cancel the policy.

AFCA can help if you have a dispute.
