Home and contents insurance



Home and contents insurance covers your most valuable asset

Community First can arrange your home, contents or home and contents insurance through CGU Insurance, one of Australia's leading general insurers.


Home Insurance

Home insurance covers damage to your home building up to its current replacement value (subject to the sum insured) with an automatic CPI adjustment to make sure your rebuilding costs are fully covered as your home increases in value.

Contents Insurance

You can also protect your home contents against damage or loss. We recommend you regularly reassess your building sum insured so that you are covered for changes in value to your property after extensions or additions.

Benefits for Community First Members

Organising your home and/or contents insurance through Community First gives you special benefits and features designed for Members which you may not find in other policies:

  • A 5% discount on your first year's premium when you take out cover on both your home and contents.
  • Pay-by-the-month premiums at no extra charge
  • Premiums deducted directly from your account so you won't forget to be covered
  • Automatic renewal for direct debit takes the worry out of insurance protection
  • Temporary Accommodation - The policy covers up to 12 months temporary accommodation if your home is damaged to such an extent that you cannot live in it
  • New for Old - Under the building and contents policy, you can obtain new for old replacement on all items, regardless of age (conditions apply)
  • A CGU Privilege Card to give you access to Australia's longest running lifestyle benefits program
  • A 10% discount off your first year's car insurance premium when you have an existing home and contents policy.

Choice of 3 levels of cover

When you obtain a quote, you have the option of taking out 3 different levels of cover. First Choice Home Insurance covers you for either listed events or accidental damage, and Fundamentals Home Insurance provides competitive cover for those who are budget conscious.
