Get Help With Your Denied or Underpaid Home Insurance Claim
If your insurer has delayed, denied or lowballed your home or contents claim, we’ll help you challenge the outcome and get what you’re owed.
When your home or belongings are damaged, insurance claims can quickly become overwhelming. Whether you’re dealing with delays, denials, lowball offers, or an AFCA complaint, we help you respond with confidence and clarity.
Why Is My Home Insurance Claim Being Disputed?
Every day, we speak to Australians with delayed, underpaid or rejected home or contents insurance claims. We usually see the dispute arising for one (or more) of the following reasons:
Assessments
Insurers can assign unqualified assessors to your home insurance claim, with insufficient information about the event and claim, who perform lacklustre investigations. For water and mould damage in particular, these assessments can leave hidden damage unrepaired.
Exclusions
Insurers may decline a home insurance claim relying on an exclusion for wear and tear, maintenance issues, defects or pre-existing damage, without properly assessing whether the available evidence supports that exclusion, or whether the policy wording applies.
Scope of works
Delays with home insurance assessments and confusion between trades (especially when loss adjusters become involved) can result in items missing from the scope of works and insurers forcing claimants to accept an incomplete scope, risking incomplete repairs.
Cash settlements
After significant events, insurers might not have the resources to perform repairs across their home insurance claims. Instead, some propose cash settlements with weak justification. These offers are often based on cheap quotes with low rates that cannot be used by claimants.

What We See Every Day
Common Home Insurance Claim Problems We Help Fix
Denied, delayed, or underpaid home and contents insurance claims can go off track fast. At Claimboost, we specialise in helping Australians navigate complex insurance disputes and push back when things don’t go to plan. Here are some of the most common issues we resolve.
Claim Delays and Lack of Action
When insurers drag their feet, damage can escalate. Mould spreads, structures deteriorate, and repair costs rise. We help move your home insurance claim forward before minor issues become expensive ones.
Insurance Claim Denied on Exclusions
Policies are often written with vague or confusing exclusions for things like defects, wear and tear, or maintenance. We review your policy wording and challenge denied home insurance claims based on unfair or misapplied exclusions.
Low Payout or Cash Settlement Offers
If you’ve been offered a contents or home insurance payout that feels too low, we can help. Many settlement offers fall short of the true cost to repair or replace. We review the offer and advocate for the full amount you’re entitled to.
Poor Insurance Assessments
Insurer-appointed assessors often miss key details or underestimate damage. We check every report and scope of works, spot what's been overlooked, and push for an accurate and fair home insurance assessment.
Dispute Over Repairs or Contractor Work
If the insurer’s chosen repairer cuts corners or uses underqualified contractors, you don’t have to accept it. We help raise concerns and hold them accountable to the quality and standards outlined in your policy.
Incomplete or Missing Documentation
One of the most common reasons for a denied home insurance claim is paperwork. Insurers often reject or delay claims due to incomplete documentation, unclear evidence, or missed deadlines.

How We Dispute Your Claim — Step by Step
Every claim is different, but our approach is consistent: thorough, evidence-based, and focused on the outcome you’re entitled to. Here’s how we typically work with you.
We start with a free 30-minute consultation to understand your situation. We review your insurer’s decision, the policy wording, and the details of your claim to identify weaknesses in their position and your likely entitlements.
We help arrange or review independent expert assessments where needed. Insurer assessors often miss hidden damage or underestimate the scope of works. Independent evidence can completely shift the direction of your claim.
We prepare a clear, well-documented response combining policy analysis, expert reports, and supporting evidence. A strong, professional case makes it much harder for the insurer to maintain an unfair position.
We engage directly with the insurer on your behalf, presenting the case and advocating for a fair resolution. In most cases, credible evidence and clear arguments lead the insurer to revisit and improve their decision.
If the insurer still won’t budge, we support you through a formal complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). We help prepare and submit the complaint so you don’t have to navigate the process alone. AFCA decisions are binding on insurers.
Most of our clients come to us after their claim has been denied, delayed, or underpaid. In the majority of cases, that’s not the end of the story.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the common questions we receive about Home and Contents Insurance claims
Your insurer may reject your claim due to exclusions in the policy, missed disclosures, or a lack of evidence supporting your loss. Common reasons include maintenance issues, mould, wear and tear, or unclear policy wording. We assess your policy, the insurer’s reasoning, and help build a case if the decision was unfair.
You don’t have to accept the first cash settlement. If it’s not enough to cover the real cost of repair or replacement, you can challenge it. We review the offer, help you quantify the true value of your claim, and help negotiate a fairer outcome with the insurer or escalate it if needed.
Under Australian regulations, insurers must follow the General Insurance Code of Practice. They typically have 10 business days to respond to general enquiries and up to 30 days to make a decision about a complaint. If these timelines are exceeded, we can escalate the issue.
Yes, if you've reached a dead-end with your insurer, you can lodge a complaint with AFCA (Australian Financial Complaints Authority). We can assist with preparing your complaint, submitting supporting evidence, and managing the process to increase your chance of success.

We focus on maximising the final payout. Whether it's through re-assessing damage, challenging exclusions, or submitting better documentation, we’ve helped many clients receive thousands more than their original offers. The amount varies by case, but the uplift is often significant.
We only charge you when we achieve you a better outcome. That fee depends on the service you engage, us for, as well as your claim, insurer and circumstances.
Before we get to work, we’ll recommend a package and explain all costs upfront, with no surprises.
Timelines vary based on complexity, insurer response times, and whether we escalate to AFCA. Some cases resolve in days, others take a few weeks or more. We’ll keep you informed at every step and push for the fastest possible resolution.
