We do not compare, rank, price or advise on this kind of insurance.
- Car, travel, life and pet insurance are financial products under the Corporations Act 2001. OpenStream does not hold an Australian financial services licence and is not an authorised representative of any licensee. Nothing on this page is financial product advice, general or personal, and nothing on it is a recommendation of any insurer or policy.
- These products are priced individually by each insurer from your own details. No regulator publishes their premiums, so OpenStream shows no prices and makes no comparison. Any figure you see will come from the insurer's own quote.
- What this page does is name insurers licensed by APRA and give you their contact details, which the law allows a person who is not licensed to do (Corporations Regulations 2001, regulation 7.6.01(1)(e) and (ea)). OpenStream receives no payment, commission or other benefit from any insurer named on this page. If that ever changes, the benefit will be stated here before any link carries it.
- Before you buy any insurance, read the insurer's Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination, and consider whether the product suits your needs, objectives and financial situation, with a licensed adviser if you want advice.
- The names come from APRA's public registers at the date stated on the page. Being on a register means an insurer is authorised to write insurance in Australia; it does not mean the insurer sells this kind of cover to households, the brands shown with a logo are those whose own site names this kind of cover, checked on the date stated.
General information only, not advice. OpenStream is not an insurer, not a broker and holds no Australian financial services licence. It does not sell, arrange or recommend insurance, and nothing here is a recommendation or a quote. Everything on this page is built from public sources - regulators, government bodies and the providers' own published material - each named and dated where it is used, so you can check it yourself. It does not take account of your circumstances. How OpenStream works · Corrections and complaints
