Pet insurance is becoming more and more popular in Australia. It offers peace of mind by covering some or all of the treatment costs if your pet is involved in an accident or suffers a sudden illness.
Unlike human healthcare, there's no Medicare equivalent for pets, and modern veterinary treatment can add up quickly. 24-hour emergency and critical care can cost over $1,000 per day, and surgery for a fractured bone or an exploratory procedure can run to thousands of dollars before recovery care begins.
Insurance means you never have to make a difficult decision about your pet's care based on cost alone.
Claim on the spot with GapOnly®
We support GapOnly® claims: we lodge your claim on the spot, you simply pay the gap (the amount not covered by your insurance), and that's it. No paying the full bill upfront, no waiting weeks for reimbursement.
Choosing a policy
Policies vary widely in what they cover (accidents, illness, routine care) and in their limits and exclusions. Canstar compares pet insurance policies side by side, which is a good place to start when you are working out what suits your pet.
