Claim for damage and theft
We’ve insured our home, contents & car with APIA for years and recently had to claim for some house damage and a bike stolen from our property.
The professionalism and courtesy we received was exemplary - we were listened to and dealt with in such a friendly & caring manner.
They did their due diligence and then the speed at which our claim was settled was unexpectedly surprising.
Thanks APIA, we’ll be recommending you to everyone!

Appalling service
This would have to be the worst Insurance Company that we have dealt with in 45 years. We lodged a claim for a glass pool fence ( 2 panels exploded) it has taken over 4 weeks to finalise as of today and this only happened because of the number of complaints I've made in addition to advising them I would escalate the complaint to the Ombudsman. The overall cost to replace the glass fence was $864 we had paid the excess of $600 3 weeks ago to the Insurance Company at their request. We also had to pay the extra $264 to the Provider as the Insuran...Read more
ce company had not approved the claim. In all we have to date paid for the full quote to repair. Subsequently due to the delay the job will not be completed now until the 18/12/20. This is creating an issue as we have small grandchildren visiting soon. We are now required to erect a safety fence at our own expense until the new glass panels can be replaced. This company does not respond or reply to messages that are left and on 2 occasions "The Manager" was not available to speak to when I called to discuss the delay. Inefficiency at its best I highly recommend avoiding them at all costs. We will be cancelling this policy we initially chose them as the premiums were lower for seniors. Old saying is you pay for what you get.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

Great service
Recently claimed on damage to my computer, which was attended to promptly and very efficiently.
Reimbursement arrived quickly - A very smooth process, especially impressed with the staff - Paul and others, who couldn't have been more helpful on this occasion. Thankyou APIA.

Repairs to my property undertaken by APIA Home Insurance
After a slow start following a storm back in early this year, I have had repairs completed through APIA Home Insurance. The companies allocated to undertake these repairs were Maincom and Steamatic. All repairs have been completed to the highest standard, and I have only praise for the workmanship undertaken. Everyone who came to my home was polite and helpful. Always phoning before they would arrive. And if any unforeseeable delay would notify me. Thank you APIA, and all involved. Very much appreciated.

claims department dishonourable, inefficient, and unprofessional when dealing with claims. Have cancelled 4 policies.
Had to chase apia claims people on regular basis to get updates and to do their job properly. Had to speak with people who had thick accents, so were difficult to understand.

Very happy with the service
I rang APIA regarding a car insurance claim and from the very beginning the company were very professional about handling my complaint.
Was given an Uber ride back to my home after dropping the car off, and an Uber ride to pick me up from home after the car was repaired. The staff fabulous, very helpful and the service fast.

Find a better insurer. Not APIA
2 months of chasing them because they NEVER answered their phone eventually out lightning damaged flat screen smart tv was only worth $66 after the $400 excess
That's offensive and they were told to take a flying leap. By the time this is approved our business will be with another insurer that is NOT owned by Suncorp. That means Apia, Shannon's, AAMI.
Thanks to reviews we know who the really bad ones are.
Remember $66 to replace our tv. What a bunch of weasles

Hello APIA. Anyone there?
Anyone there?
Clearly not!
Have spent over three hours on the phone today just waiting for someone to pick up. So much for “attending to our call as soon as possible”. Just trying to get a response to an email we sent re a minor storm damage claim. We got the “your email has been received” but now nothing. So much for customer care.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

A case of insurance APIA
APIA 10+ Stars
You know those stories “tried to claim on my insurance but was rejected because I wasn’t standing facing due east and it wasn’t 6.01pm on the 29th February” I know this is exaggerated but that is the general view of insurance companies and in some cases it is well deserved but I am happy to say not with APIA.
I have been with APIA insurance for about 10 years, Home & Contents Car and Funeral, in that time I have had a few claims (not funeral thank goodness) and never once did I have any problems. The staff are very helpful, fu...Read more

I have just had a similar experience. My premium has gone up over $400 this year to well over $2000! Last year the same huge increase occurred so I rang them wanting to decrease the rebuild amount. They refused to allow it. I had left it until the last minute so I paid up. I will be doing some "homework" early this year. So much for consideration for us as pensioners!

Great value for money, speedy resolution and friendly staff
Weve been APIA members for 15 years and they have been generous with our home and contents claims, approving just about every claim made to date. The staff are friendly, the process is simple and the time taken to resolve claims is quick! Our premiums are competitive and the access is very low for the price that we pay. All round - great company
