A Q Report policy provides coverage against loss and damage to your jewellery. If your jewellery is lost, stolen or damaged, with Q Report you can make a claim to have your jewellery replaced or repaired. We also cover mysterious disappearance and loss or damage caused as a result of a natural disaster.
With Q Report, you’re speaking to people who live and breathe jewellery; not insurance salespeople. We come from a jewellery background and know that when it comes to
Your jewellery will be covered inside and outside the house as well as worldwide while you travel. It is also a Replacement Policy, so you can be certain that you will be put back in the same position as you were prior to the loss or damage occurring. You’ll also be able to return to your original or preferred jeweller in the event of a claim.
If you need to make a claim, you will deal directly with us. We won’t pass you from department to department or offload you to some other unrelated service provider. We’ll guide you through every step of the process and be there for you whenever you need us.
Let’s not forget the fact that we have extensive experience in jewellery claims and have an impeccable track record for the last 16 years. Don’t take our word for it. Read our reviews and testimonials and see for yourself.
So if you love your jewellery, you’re going to want a Q Report.
Every insurance policy is different, as is each person’s circumstances. So we cannot comment on your home contents insurance policy. But we would suggest that you call your insurer and/or read the fine print to find out answers to the following essential questions:-
If you are not satisfied with your home contents insurer’s response to these questions, give us a call so you can see if our policy better suits your needs.
Yes. Warranty and Insurance are very different.
Warranty is intended to cover consumers for manufacturing defects for a limited time. It’s a guarantee that a product has been made correctly and that you are getting what you paid for.
Insurance will cover you for things like accidental damage, loss and theft.
When it comes to warranties, most products (including jewellery) are covered under Australian Consumer Law. In simple terms, when you purchase an item of jewellery it comes with an implicit warranty that you could wear it normally and if after say the first few weeks it broke or stones fell out, you should be covered under warranty. However, if you dropped the ring on a concrete floor, or your finger got hooked on an object which pulled it out of shape, this would be your responsibility unless you had insurance.
The Q Report policy provides coverage to Australian residents while travelling worldwide anywhere in the world except to and from Cuba, which is subject to certain restrictions.
So you can travel around the world with absolute confidence that you have insurance coverage for your jewellery if your jewellery was insured with Q Report.
A Replacement Policy means that you are covered for a like-for-like replacement or repair, putting you back where you were prior to the loss or damage.
As diamonds and other rare gemstones and metals are traded in US Dollars, currency fluctuations could impact on the ability to replace your item of jewellery. This could also be the case when it comes to rare gemstones and highly sought after timepieces.
This is why our Q Report Policy can provide an additional 50% cover. Meaning, if the cost to repair or replace your jewellery is more than the sum insured, there is an additional 50% of the sum insured that's available to be applied to your claim. This is at no additional cost to you, so as to put you back into the same position you were prior to your loss.
So with Q Report, you essentially have coverage up to 150% of the sum insured - an absolute world first in jewellery insurance.
For example, you bought a ring for $10,000. The Australian Dollar drops substantially against the US Dollar. Your ring was stolen and you need to make a claim. Your jeweller can no longer replace the ring at $10,000 due to the currency fluctuation. In this case, we have the ability to add up to 50% ($5,000) to the claim settlement paid to your jeweller so your jeweller could replace the ring and put you back in the same position that you were prior to your loss.

If you purchased your jewellery through a Q Certified Jeweller, in most cases they can insure your jewellery at the point of sale without you needing to provide any further documentation.
In all other cases, we’ll usually need copies of the following documents:-
For watches, we also need
If you don’t have all of the above, that’s not a problem. Send us what you have and one of our consultants will review it and we’ll come back to you if we need anything further.
We generally insure at the purchase price if it’s a recent purchase (within 12 months) or the current market replacement if it’s an older purchase. While we do consider the valuers pricing as shown on valuations, we will make our own determination based on our own algorithms and market data. We do this so that you will not be paying an inflated premium, or conversely, that you won’t be underinsured. In some cases, we will also speak with your jeweller to ensure that they can replace that item for you at the figure they have nominated as today’s replacement figure.
We are confident that we will insure your jewellery at the correct figure. There are factors such as currency fluctuations that are simply out of our control, so our 50% buffer on the Q Report policy gives you that extra peace of mind.
Remember, Jewellery Insurance is all we do and we believe, as do our customers, that we are very good at it!
Coverage is instant from the moment payment has been successfully received. You will automatically receive a Coverage Summary confirming you are covered.
The person listed on the policy and their spouse (legal or defacto) who lives with that person is covered.
Q Report insures all new and existing jewellery and watches that are in good condition.
We don’t insure:-
Payment can be made by credit card (Visa, Mastercard and Amex) either online or over the phone.
For renewal payments, you can also pay by BPay.
Yes. We have a monthly instalment payment facility.
By paying in 12 convenient bite-size instalments, you can spread the cost over time.
It is more cost effective to pay annually, but some of our customers prefer to pay by monthly instalments.
Unfortunately, not. The excess on a Q Report policy is fixed at $100 and we cannot adjust the premium on the policy.
Due to the high value of the item(s), we need a little more information before we can proceed with your policy. One of our consultants will contact you to go through a few questions regarding home security measures and travel arrangements etc.
This process won’t take long and we’ll aim to get you insured as soon as possible.
As part of the renewal process of your Q Report policy, your jewellery will be analysed by our proprietary software and our expert in-house jewellers. They will look to see if there have been any changes to the costs of raw materials, and how that may impact on the value of your jewellery as well as the value of your jewellery or watch in today’s market. We do this revaluation at no charge to you.
Following this revaluation process, you will receive an invitation to renew your policy 28 days prior to the expiration of your policy. At that point, you will have the option to either pay the annual policy amount payable or pay by monthly instalments and be insured for a further 12 months. If you have opted to have your policy automatically renewed, then we will automatically renew your policy for you at the expiry date for a further 12 months.
Yes. To reduce the risk of your jewellery becoming uninsured, you can choose to automatically renew your Q Report policy when your cover ends.
And don’t worry, you’ll still receive a notice 28 days before the end of your policy period so you can stay in control.
If you haven't already opted in to have your policy automatically renewed, please call 02 9234 0580 or email info@qreport.com.au and we'll arrange this for you.
Because both precious stones and the metals that they are set in may fluctuate in price, at Q Report we offer a complimentary service whereby we revalue your jewellery or watch every year at no charge to you. This way, we make sure that your item of jewellery is insured at the correct value in the case of loss or damage.
Simply email info@qreport.com.au with the following:
For watches, we also need
If you don’t have all of the above, it’s rarely a problem. Send us what you have and one of our consultants will review it and we’ll come back to you if we need anything further.
In the case of a claim, you will need to notify us directly. You can either call us on 02 9234 0580 or email us at claims@qreport.com.au .
We will then guide you through the next steps where we will require a statutory declaration, and a police report (if lost or stolen).
We will then take care of the rest and liaise with your jeweller and the underwriter and keep you updated along the way.
It largely depends on how long it takes for you to send us your Statutory Declaration and Police Report (if applicable).
Assuming there are no problems and we don’t require any further information, claims are usually processed and approved within 5 business days. Although, we have had cases where this process has been completed within 1 day.
That we love to hear!
At Q Report, we appreciate the relationship you may have with your jeweller. We’ll always suggest that you go back to your original or preferred jeweller in the case of a claim. We will not dictate to you where you need to go to repair / replace your jewellery.
We regularly deal with jewellers from all over the world. If you wanted to make a claim and have your jewellery repaired or replaced by your jeweller overseas, we will liaise directly with that jeweller to get the necessary information to get your claim finalised as soon as possible.
Our Head Office team are also able to speak many languages so this makes the process much easier.
The aim of our policy is to put you back into the same position you were in prior to your loss. This means to replace the item jewellery in the case of a loss or repair it in the case of damage. In certain cases where it is impractical to replace or repair the item easily, we will discuss with the Insurer the cash settlement option.
Yes, you may cancel your policy at any time by notifying us in writing of the future date that the cancellation is to take effect.
We will then refund to you the balance of the unused premium on a pro rata basis.
For new policies, there is a 14 day cooling off period where if you choose to cancel your policy and notify us within 14 days of the inception of your new policy, we will refund the full amount of premium paid by you (note the Policy Setup Fee is non-refundable).
