I have been looking for an insurance for Joey. I found Australian Seniors and with the 10% discount for being over 50, I signed up. The guy on the phone was helpful and answered all my questions. Show reply

I effected the policy in May 2026 and was assured of the cover. I lodged a claim in August 2026. The invoice was for 2 issues, however, I only claimed for one as the other issue was a pre-existing condition which I noted on the claim. After repetitive contact with me for further information, some 2 weeks later I received a declinature for both… Read more

issues. Clearly my claim wasn't read properly as I was only claiming for one issue...a polyp in the ear. Their rejection for both issues was pre-existing condition. My pet had an ear infection about 7 months earlier and their opinion was that this polyp is related to the previous ear infection 7 months earlier. If I was properly advised that any previous incident would be used to assess claims then I wouldn't have wasted my time and money. Obviously I cancelled the policy. Be careful with this insurance company as you could be wasting your money!

Perfectly suited for my Senior Dog Max at 11 and there $2.90 cheaper than RSPCA for the exact same thing. After calling 15 different pet insurance companies only RSPCA and these guys could help me out. Show details ·  1

Claims are always processed and paid promptly. Extremely satisfied with this service. Great value! I am assured that my pet Mocha is covered for all her needs with this policy and caring for her is more affordable for me. A big heartfelt thank you from Mocha and me! Show details ·  1

Pet insurance – Claims were honoured as per the conditions of the policy. Premiums increased markedly each year becoming quite expensive over the 8 years. Not sure if this increase is dependent upon claim history. Claims were resolved quickly with gap payments being introduced a couple of years ago. For us, it was good value due to the amount of claims, as well… Read more ·  1

the as peace of mind that large vet bills weren’t such a big hit to the bank account. We would certainly have any future pets insured and Seniors Pet Insurance would be our choice due to the customer service they have provided in the past.

Only thing that made it worthwhile getting old – Best pet insurance in Australia no doubt! Claims are processed quickly and their cover level is fantastic.

All I kept getting is "I understand but I can't answer that now" again and again. No listening skills, no engagement, nothing. Please, don't disappoint me after i have been… Read more

Easy and hassel free – I have been with Seniors pet insurance for about 7 years. I have 2 policies and I think this has to be is the best value pet insurance around. Easy to set up and the claim process is also very easy and with a very quick resolution. A huge difference to the company I used previously. Highly recommended Show details ·  4

 Follow-up  · * The excess depends on which level of cover you choose, I have settled on 75% which is good value and suits me. * I have never had any exclusions levied on my claims. Any general exclusions are in the terms & conditions of the policy. *Again, what is included depends on the level of cover you choose and will be stated on your policy document. I… Read more

Sheila was amazing and very helpful. Once I explained the issue with my pet claim, she offered to ring a previous vet to obtain the required information saving me the time and hassle to contact them myself. This is way above expectation and should be acknowledged. Thank you very much. Show reply

The best cover we could get for our 11 year old Golden Retriever, super easy to sign up and secure policy. Was completed in 10 mins and also received 10% discount. Wish we could add on more cover but out of all that was available, this provided maximum benefits. Show reply

Very impressed with the annual premium rate.....hundreds of dollars cheaper than my previous insurer. A long and extremely helpful phone call with Sandra from Sydney. She was very thorough, explained everything clearly, and was also charming and friendly. Can't fault the company or her! Show details ·  1

DO NOT GET Australian Seniors Insurance. Their Pet insurance is under written by Hollard's Insurance, probably the worst service insurance company in history. In fact ASIC has already received complaints about their dodgy scam tactics in trying to get out of any claim. Also Australian Seniors Insurance uses Allianz for their Travel Insurance. They… Read more

will treat you as a fraudster as a friend of mine recently went through their claim system and was rejected due to their team of investigating detectives contacting my friend and using a video interview against them. Steer well clear of Australian Seniors Insurance. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I would give Seniors Pet Insurance a 0/5 if I could. While it’s easy enough to register and start paying premiums, the experience completely falls apart when you actually need to lodge a claim. The online portal is incredibly outdated, full of glitches, and does not function seamlessly at all. I had to call twice just to complete the sign-up… Read more

process, and then had to call again to lodge a claim because the online system simply didn’t work properly. Basic functions either failed, froze, or didn’t process correctly. This is extremely frustrating—especially when you’re already dealing with the stress of a pet needing care. The whole purpose of having insurance is ease and support in those moments, not added complications. Overall, a very poor digital experience that reflects badly on the company. I would not recommend based on this alone.

Our pet’s policy premiums have QUADRUPLED over 8 years – Great value when 1st purchased 8years ago $600+pa. Easy to set-up then, and with the added on-line ‘pet portal’ option, easy to claim & view claims. But finding it harder each year now to see the worth/value in this policy, since it has QUADRUPLED in cost of the annual premium, now $2500pa.Based on this 30-40% annual hike, next year = $3300pa.… Read more

Wow! Stated in their policy - “We review our pricing to ensure we can continue to support the available treatment options”

IF YOUR PET HAS A SPECIFIC ‘CONDITION’ (arthritis,seizures) which was ‘pre-existing’ BEFORE the policy began, you will never be able to claim for it (as with any insurance company). Yes, we get approx 80% back on MOST claims (but there are strict limitations), and the ‘fine print’ in the lengthy, wordy, legal-jargon policy, means that if the Vet uses the wrong language when describing a medication etc in the vet report (ie Supplements) you will be quickly be denied any refund .

If you happen to complain about their policy premium ‘hike’, you will receive an email (i.e. typical boring, template reply), which always states that the pet’s breed, age, vet fees & medications are the reasons for this rapid annual price hike. Their email communication process has improved. especially in relation to claims. But If you actually try to phone them, you’ll go through the main switchboard, and then with much call transferring, you may get through to the correct Pet Insurance section. Very frustrating and time-consuming. They need to up their game in this area.

Based on research, we believe this practice of constant, regular, premium increases is standard throughout the industry. Is it really worth all the hassle? - Something to seriously consider before purchasing pet insurance.

Yet again Seniors Pet Insurance have provided brilliant service. My dog was referred by my vet to a specialist vet who were slow in forwarding my claim after the treatment. It was a large amount of money and when I explained the situation to Seniors Pet Insurance within 24 hours they processed my claim. The two ladies I dealt with over the phone were excellent! Show details ·  1
