Accident-only Pet Insurance
Pets can have accidents at any time and the cost of getting them back on their feet can run into thousands of dollars. Our accident-only insurance policy is an affordable way to protect yourself against the unexpected, so that an accident isn't a financial disaster. With up to $10,000 a year towards your vet bills, you can afford the care your pet needs if they get into trouble.
Accident-only Pet Insurance in brief
We offer flexible cover options from as little as 35c per day* on an Accidental Injury Protect Plan with an annual benefit limit of up to $10,000 per year towards your vet bills. So you'll always be able to help to meet the cost of treatment if your dog or cat has an accident.
And there's no waiting period for Accidental Injury Protect, except for cruciate ligament Injuries, so your pet will be fully protected from day one.
Accidental Injury Protect is the simple and affordable way to get peace of mind. The premium you pay for your pet insurance will depend on the type and breed, age and health of your pet. You can make extra savings on your premium by reducing your Annual Benefit Limit.
There is no excess to pay when you make a claim under our Accidental Injury cover. We will pay up to 75% of eligible vet expenses if your pet has an Accidental Injury. This includes consultations, medicines, specialist treatment and hospitalisation.
Our Accidental Injury Protect gives you country-wide protection and even covers you while you are travelling with your pet. If your pet has an accident you can use the services of any vet in Australia - and in approved countries overseas. So wherever you are, you'll be able to get help quickly from the nearest vet.
Like your house full of pets? If you insure more than one dog or cat with us you'll qualify for a 5% discount on your premiums for each additional policy, making your pet insurance even more affordable.
All our pet insurance products have a 21 day cooling off period, so if you change your mind you can simply cancel your policy and get a full refund, provided you haven't made a claim.
Most pets have an accident at some point in their lives. Young, energetic animals can get injured in their enthusiasm to play.
