ALLIANZ - THE INSURER
These covers are available under the Group Policy issued to

The covers described in this booklet are available for your
benefit under the Group Policy entered into between Allianz
Global Assistance (on behalf of Allianz) and ANZ. ANZ is the

third party beneficiary by reason of the statutory operation of

There is no obligation to accept any of these benefits. However,
if you wish to claim any of these benefits, you will be bound by
the definitions, terms, conditions, exclusions, limits, applicable
sub-limits and claims procedures contained in this booklet.
Please read this booklet carefully and keep it in a safe place.
Also please keep detailed particulars and proof of any loss.

ANZ IS NOT THE ISSUER (INSURER) OF
THIS COVER
ANZ is not the issuer of these covers and neither it nor any of
its related corporations guarantee or are liable to pay any of the
benefits under these covers.
These benefits are available to the beneficiaries upon meeting
the eligibility requirements under these covers. Neither ANZ nor
any of its related corporations are Authorised Representatives
of Allianz, Allianz Global Assistance or any of their related
companies and ANZ does not receive any commission or
remuneration in relation to the insurance set out in this booklet.
TERMINATION OR VARIATION OF COVER
ANZ or Allianz may terminate or agree to vary the terms,
conditions and cover available to cardholders under the Group
Policy as set out in this booklet. If this occurs, ANZ will give
the accountholder at least 30 days' written notice before the
termination or change takes effect. ANZ may give less notice, or
publish the notice on ANZ’s website if:
there is a minor change with no effect to the cardholders’
cover or the eligibility criteria (e.g. a change of contact
details);
the variation is favourable to the cardholder (in which case
ANZ will take reasonable steps to provide written notice as
soon as reasonably possible); or
ANZ and Allianz are reasonably required to act quickly to
change the terms of the Group Policy to manage material
and immediate risks arising from:
- a potential or actual breach of any law; or
- a proposed change in, or interpretation of, a law or any
decision, recommendation, regulatory guidance or
standard of any court, tribunal, ombudsman service,
regulatory or other similar body.
A risk will be considered material and immediate if to protect
ANZ and/or Allianz legitimate business interests, ANZ and/or
Allianz are required to act quickly to change the terms, conditions
and/or cover, or terminate the cover, as set out in this booklet.
Where there is a termination or change to the terms, conditions
and/or cover as set out in this booklet, the existing terms,
conditions and/or cover will only apply to events occurring
before the date of the change or termination.
Where the Group Policy is terminated, no cover is available for
events occurring after the date of termination. ANZ will provide
accountholders with details of any replacement cover and its
relevant effective date.

OTHER INSURANCES
If you are entitled to receive a benefit or make a claim under
another insurance policy (Other Policy), in respect of the same
loss as your claim under the Group Policy, then, subject to the
provisions of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth) Allianz is
not liable to provide indemnity under the Group Policy until the
amount of any indemnity under that Other Policy is exhausted.
In other words, any cover available under the Group Policy in
respect of the same loss shall only be excess insurance cover
over and above the applicable Other Policy.
If you make a claim under another insurance policy and you
are not paid the full amount of the claim, then, subject to
the provisions of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth), the
cover available to you under the Group Policy will make up the
difference, to the extent of cover that applies, in accordance with
the terms and conditions contained in this booklet.
Should we make payment to you for the full amount of the
claim, we may seek contribution from your other insurer. In
such circumstances, you must give us any information that we
reasonably require to help us make a contribution claim from
the other insurer.
LIMITATION OF COVER
Regardless of anything contained in this Policy to the contrary,
we shall not be liable to provide any cover or benefit or pay
any claim where the provision of cover or benefit or payment
of claim would constitute a breach of any trade or economic
sanction, embargo, prohibition or restriction imposed by any
of the following: United Nations, United States of America,
Australia, European Union, United Kingdom, or New Zealand, or
any other applicable national trade or economic sanctions, laws
or regulations. This applies where such geographical location,
provision of goods, services or other reasons shall contravene
such sanction, embargo, prohibition or restriction.

theft to the police or an office of the bus line, airline, shipping

way to provide evidence of the loss or theft. If you unreasonably
delay or fail to make a report and we are prejudiced by your
delay or failure, we may reduce the amount payable for your
claim to the extent we are prejudiced.
If you are entitled to be reimbursed by the bus line, airline,
shipping line or rail authority you were travelling on when the
loss, theft, misplacement or damage occurred we will deduct
the amount you are entitled to from any claim payable by us.

following covered items or valuables:
baggage, clothing or personal valuables;
portable electrical equipment, laptop computers and
associated equipment/accessories, binoculars, cameras
and associated equipment/accessories,
are stolen, accidentally damaged or are permanently lost,
except when:
left in a vehicle (see sub-section 4.1.1 b] below); or
are valuables left in a vehicle or checked in to be
transported in the cargo hold of any aircraft, ship, train,
tram or bus (see sub-section 4.1.1 c] below).
The amount we will pay will be the lesser of:
the depreciated value after allowing for age, wear and
tear (see the Depreciation section for details);
the original purchase price;
the replacement cost; or
the repair cost.
We will not apply depreciation to any item we pay for
where less than 12 consecutive months have elapsed since
the item was purchased new.
The maximum amount we will pay for any item is up to the
item limit specified in Part C - Benefit Limits - 4.1 Luggage.
A pair or related set of items, for example (but not limited to):
a camera, lenses (attached or not), tripod and
accessories;
a matched or unmatched set of golf clubs, golf bag and
buggy; or
66
a matching pair of earrings,
are considered as only one item for the purpose of this cover,
and the appropriate single item limit will be applied.
b] Covered items specified in 4.1.1a] that are left in a vehicle
during the period of cover provided for your journey are only
covered during daylight hours and must have been left in a
concealed storage compartment of a locked vehicle, and in
the event of theft forced entry must have been made. The
most we will pay is up to the total amount specified in Part C
- Benefit Limits - 4.1.1b] Luggage for all covered items stolen
from a locked vehicle.
c] No cover is available for valuables left in a vehicle at any time
or valuables checked in to be transported in the cargo hold
of any aircraft, ship, train, tram or bus including any loss from
the point of check in until collection by you from the baggage
carousel or collection area at the end of your flight, voyage or
trip. However, cover will be available for loss theft or accidental
damage to laptops, tablets and mobile/smartphones when
(without prior notice) you are directed by the airline with
whom you have a flight booking to place the laptop, tablet
or mobile/smartphone into your checked in baggage or
overhead cabin locker for the duration of your flight.
Conditions
If you make a claim, you will need to provide proof of your
ownership and the value of your belongings. Examples of
proof include receipts and/or valuations (e.g. receipt or
valuation for jewellery).
If you cannot prove the value of the items, the most we will pay
for each individual item is 10% of the limit shown for that type
of item in the Part C - Benefit Limits - 4.1 Luggage.
As soon as practical you should report any loss or theft to the
police or an office of the bus line, airline, shipping line or rail
authority you were travelling on when the loss or theft occurred.
You should make reasonable efforts to obtain confirmation
from whoever you made the report to as this may be the easiest
way to provide evidence of the loss or theft. If you delay or fail
to make a report and we are prejudiced by your delay or failure,
we may be entitled to reduce your claim by the amount of
prejudice we have suffered.
If you are entitled to be reimbursed by the bus line, airline,
shipping line or rail authority you were travelling on when the
loss, theft, misplacement or damage occurred we will deduct
the amount you are entitled to from any claim payable by us.
However, if you are not reimbursed the full amount of your loss,
we will pay the difference between the amount of your loss and
what you were reimbursed, up to the limit of the cover available.
67
4.1.2 What we exclude
To the extent permitted by law, we will not pay a claim in
relation to your covered items and valuables if:

have checked out, or items left behind in any aircraft, ship,
train, tram, taxi or bus;
b] the covered items or valuables were being sent
unaccompanied by you or under a freight contract;
c] the loss or damage arises from any process of cleaning,

f ] your claim arises from a government authority confiscating,

at such a distance from you that you are unable to
prevent them being taken; or
with a person who is not a travel companion or a relative
(or if these persons fail to take all reasonable precautions
to safeguard your covered items or valuables).
This includes forgetting or misplacing any items, leaving
them behind or walking away from them;
h] the covered item or valuable has an inherent defect or an
electrical or mechanical breakdown that is known or could
be reasonably know by you;
i] the covered item or valuable is fragile or brittle or is an
electrical component and is broken unless the breakage
was caused by theft, fire or an accident involving a vehicle
in which you were travelling;

carrier for more than 12 consecutive hours, we will reimburse you
for the reasonable costs you incur for you to purchase essential
items of clothing or other personal items, up to the amount
specified in Part C - Benefit Limits - 4.2 Luggage Delay.
Conditions

the delay.
We will deduct any amount we pay you under this section from
any subsequent claim you make for lost covered items payable
under Section 4.1 Luggage.
If you are entitled to be reimbursed by the bus line, airline,
shipping line or rail authority you were travelling on when the

DEPRECIATION
When taking into consideration the age of a covered item or
valuable we will (acting reasonably) deduct the following:
For toiletries and medication (including skin care, make-up,
perfume, deodorant and aftershave) we will deduct 50% of
the purchase price for each year you have owned the item
up to a maximum deduction of 80%;
For mobile phones, smart phones, electrical devices,
communication devices, all computers (including laptops
and tablets), photographic equipment and electronics
equipment we will deduct 20% of the purchase price for
each year you have owned the item up to a maximum
deduction of 80%;
For clothing, footwear, luggage and books we will deduct
15% of the purchase price for each year you have owned
the item up to a maximum deduction of 80%;
For camping, sporting and leisure equipment (but not
leisure clothing) and musical instruments we will deduct
10% of the purchase price for each year you have owned
the item up to a maximum deduction of 80%;
For jewellery we will not make any deduction. Please note,
watches are not considered jewellery and are included
under other items below;
81
For all other items we will deduct 15% of the purchase price
for each year you have owned the item up to a maximum
deduction of 60%.
For example:
You have a $500 digital camera that was purchased 2 years
before the date it was lost. The rate of depreciation would
be 20% per year.
In settlement of your claim we would pay you $300 (i.e. we
will depreciate the value of the digital camera by 20% of
the purchase price for each of the 2 years you have owned
it), calculated as follows:
Year 1 - Purchase price of $500 less 20% ($100) = $400
Year 2 - Depreciated value of $400 less 20% of the purchase
price ($100) = $300
CLAIMS ARE PAYABLE IN AUSTRALIAN
DOLLARS
We will pay all claims in Australian dollars. We will pay you
unless you tell us to pay someone else. The rate of currency
exchange that will apply is the rate at the time you incurred
the expense. Payment will be made by direct credit to a bank
account nominated by you.
RECOVERY
If we have a claim against someone in relation to the money we
have to pay or we have paid, you must take reasonable steps
to help us do that in legal proceedings. If you are aware of any
third party that you or we may recover money from, you must
take reasonable steps to inform us of such third party.
When making a claim you should tell us about any other
insurance under which you are or might be able to claim. If you
can claim from another insurer and we also pay you in respect
of the same insured event, then you will be required to refund
to us the amount we paid if the other insurer also pay you.
You cannot claim from us and from the other insurer to obtain
an aggregate amount that exceeds your loss.
If during the period of cover made available, you suffer a loss
which is not fully covered by the Group Policy, we may offer to
attempt to recover your uninsured loss for you.
You may specifically ask us to recover this for you however, we
have no obligation to do so. You will need to give us documents
supporting your loss. Before we include any uninsured loss in
a recovery action, we will also ask you to agree to the basis on
which we will handle your uninsured recovery action. You may
82
need to contribute to legal costs in some circumstances.
We will apply any money we recover from someone else under
a right of subrogation in the following order:
1. To us, our costs (administration and legal) arising from
the recovery.
2. To us, an amount equal to the amount that we paid to you
under the Group Policy.
3. To you, your uninsured loss.
4. To you, your excess.
Once we pay your total loss (including your uninsured loss and
any excess) we will pay you the balance of any money left over.
If we have paid your total loss and you receive a payment from
someone else for that loss or damage, you will need to pay us
the amount of that payment up to the amount of the claim we
paid you.
HOW GST MAY AFFECT YOUR CLAIM
If you are entitled to claim an input tax credit in respect of a
cost for which a claim is made, or would be entitled to an input
tax credit if you were to incur the relevant cost (i.e. in replacing
a lost or stolen item), the amount we would otherwise pay will
be reduced by the amount of that input tax credit.
FRAUD
When making a claim you have a responsibility to assist us and
to act in an honest and truthful manner.
If any claim is fraudulent in any way or if you or anyone acting
on your behalf uses fraudulent means to make a claim on
the cover described in this booklet, then no payment will be
made in regard to the claim. Also ANZ will be informed of
the situation and you may no longer be eligible for the cover
described in this booklet.
