Support measures for Small Business Insurance customers impacted by COVID-19
The following measures have been put in place to support our existing eligible small business policyholders who are experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19. These measures are being provided by Allianz Australia Limited as the provider of this insurance. The eligibility criteria for small business policyholders can be found below.
Deferring premium payments for up to six months for customers experiencing financial hardship from the impact of the COVID-19 event.
If you are an existing customer, you have the option to defer the payment of your small business annual or monthly premium for up to six months, subject to eligibility, to allow you to pay at a time that suits you, while maintaining your insurance coverage. If you need to make a claim during this time, the cost of your premium will be deducted from any claims payment.
This offer applies to existing small business policyholders meeting our eligibility criteria, and excludes workers’ compensation customers. You can find the eligibility criteria for small business policyholders below.
Refund of premiums in case of cancellation; with no administration or cancellation fees.
Whilst we hope to help you stay insured, if you need to cancel your cover during the COVID-19 pandemic, you will not be charged any administration or cancellation fees. You will also receive a refund for the remaining period of your cover, calculated on a pro-rata basis. For example, if you purchased an annual policy from January until December, but you cancelled at the end of March, you will be refunded for the portion of premium from April until December.
This offer applies to existing small business insurance policies, excluding workers’ compensation customers.
Maintaining full cover for those needing to leave their premises vacant due to COVID-19; with no changes to premium or excess as a result of this change.
If your premises are vacant due to COVID-19, we will maintain full cover for existing policyholders, with no changes to your premium or excess as a result of this change, and will reassess this policy as needed.
