How to make a claim

If your handset or tablet is:

Lost or stolen

Step 1

Note: This step is only applicable to a mobile handset. Contact your service provider within 12 hours to block your IMEI and SIM.

  1. Your service provider should have your IMEI on record otherwise you can locate the IMEI via your contract, purchase receipt or the handset original packaging/box.
  2. Remember if you've had your handset swapped under warranty than you may have a new IMEI, refer to your warranty documents.
  3. You can check if your IMEI is blocked via the Mind You Mobile Website http://www.lost.amta.org.au/.
  4. A claim will not be paid until the IMEI is successfully blocked which your network will arrange once you request it.

Step 2

Notify the police of the theft or loss. Risk Insure will require a Police Reference Number to progress your claim. If your theft or loss is a result of a criminal offence you will require a hard copy police report.
