Highly weighted factors include flood, accidental damage, protection against underinsurance, how damaged items are replaced, and costs associated with a big clean-up like debris removal and temporary accommodation. For Home & Contents Insurance, we awarded the below.

What are the Mozo Experts Choice Awards?
Now in their eleventh year, the Mozo Experts Choice Awards present an opportunity to recognise products in the market we believe offer great value to Australians.
For the 2024 Home Insurance awards, our Experts assessed 55 home insurance policies head to head.
“Our homes are one of our most important assets, being the largest purchase most people will make in their lifetime, and while Insurance cover for your home and its contents is essential, it can also be expensive,” said Peter Marshall, Mozo Experts Choice Awards judge.
“Whether your aim is to get cover that doesn’t cost a fortune, or top tier cover with all the bells and whistles, our award winners provide great options to begin your search.”
For full details on how we crunched the numbers, the awards criteria and how we determined the winners, see the 2024 Mozo Experts Choice Awards for Home Insurance methodology report.

FAQs
What’s the Judging Criteria for the Mozo Experts Choice Awards?
Running since 2014, the Mozo Experts Choice Awards recognise products that deliver exceptional value or benefits to consumers. See our 2024 Mozo Experts Choice Awards for Home Insurance methodology report for detailed information on how we performed product comparisons for home and contents insurance to determine the final winners for 2024.
Did you compare all home insurance providers in the market for these awards?
We collected pricing and cover information for 55 home insurance policies. We aim to include most providers in the market in the Mozo Experts Choice Awards. However, not every product in the market will be included in our review. For a full list of the providers included in our assessment, please see our methodology report.
How do I find the cheapest home insurance policy for me?
The best place to start is by checking out the winners in the Exceptional Value categories. Our experts have crunched the data on a range of home scenarios and these were the insurance providers and policies that presented the greatest value considering the coverage included when compared to similar products.
It’s important to understand that several factors go into determining the cost of home insurance, such as your property’s location and building materials, contents value and claim history. So, you’ll still need to compare features and options to find a policy that is right for you and then get quotes to check prices.
