Managing your policy and claim online
There is currently no disruption to our online service centre, so we encourage you to access the online Insurance Service Centre which is available 24/7. You can:
- Make a claim
- Track your claim status
- View or download historical documents for your policies
- Update your payment and contact details
- Make one-off payments
- Request policy changes
- Check your policy coverage
- Edit your flybuys number linked to your policy
- Change your preferences/settings to receive policy documentation via eDocs instead of mail – it’s the best way to help ensure you receive your documentation immediately.
