Information for our customers affected by NSW storms and flooding

We’re working hard to support our customers affected by the servere storms, including torrential rain and flooding, in NSW which have caused severe damage to homes, businesses and communities. 

Our team of dedicated local Elders Insurance agents and claims officers are available ready to assist. While our assessors and tradespeople can’t enter affected areas until emergency services declare it safe, we are on standby to ensure we can support you as quickly as possible.

How to claim

If you need to make a claim due to storm or flood damage, please contact your Elders Insurance agent as soon as you’re safe and able to do so.

Your local Elders Insurance agent can assist with advice and support on your policy or to make a claim. It’s ok if you don’t know your policy details; with your name and address we’ll find it for you.

Notifying your local agent of your claim as soon as possible helps us speed up the claims process to get you back on your feet sooner.

Most importantly, we want you and your family to be safe so it’s important that you follow the advice of local authorities. We’ve put together some useful content about preparing for a storm, staying safe during a storm, and safely returning to your home after a storm.

Please remember

Never try to drive through flood-affected areas

Be cautious around electrical items that may have been affected by water, especially fallen power lines which may still be live
