DO NOT get insurance with APIA!
my father's claim is being delayed! with no valid reason. they already told his that the car has been declared a total loss but they still will not settle nor give any valid reason why they are delaying!
Absolutely Pathetic Customer Service!!!!!

After contacting APIA on several occasions regarding our claim and being put on hold numerous times and the department shuffle
we decided to withdraw our claim, I am discussed with their service and will not be renewing any of our polices

Two weeks and fourth attempt to cancel policy by phone. Previous calls were on endless hold and transfers to the 'right dept'. 58 mins into this current attempt and I am still on hold while "the right dept' pushes ''the right' button.

After my father passed away, and with my mother diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and unable to manage her affairs, I provided Apia with everything they requested: a death certificate, medical certificate confirming incapacity, and an Enduring Power of Attorney appointing me to act on my mother’s behalf.

Their response? Repeated, robotic, and legally incoherent refusals to help. I was told my father would need to personally request changes to the policy—despite him being deceased. The level of incompetence, disrespect, and outright absurdity in their replies is staggering.

I have now had to escalate my complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA), just to get them to process a simple and lawful request. Based on other reviews (like Peta P., who had a nearly identical experience), it’s clear this isn’t an isolated issue—it’s a pattern. Apia seems either unwilling or incapable of acting in good faith during times when families are already grieving and vulnerable.

If you're looking for an insurance company that understands basic legal obligations—or even just human decency—avoid Apia at all costs.

Not at fault, over a month wait for any kind of update. Just to be told a third party investigator will be conducting interviews, other party had already been paid by their insurer. I withdrew my claim and proceeded to other party’s insurance for recovering the funds.

Extremely rude, passive aggressive and unwilling to compromise in any way at all. I would not do business with APIA. They do not care about pensioners.

Highly recommend APIA for car insurance. My not at fault claim was dealt with immediately and the whole experience from the crash repairer to rental car provision was faultless, timely and so easy. Thank you APIA!

Do not insure with APIA. You will waste your time and money if you do. They treat you like a criminal when you make a claim, they're incompetent and it's you doing all the chasing as they rarely get back to you and when they do, they make things extremely hard for you. We've found someone else now thank god. Avoid APIA like the plague

Had a not at fault car accident on the 14th December 2024, It's now 12th March and now been told by my repairer that I may get the car back around early to mid April, so my car will have been off the road for 4 months, meaning 4 months of registration and insurance cost for nothing! I have paid 4 months car insurance and registration for a vehicle being off the road.
Absolutely an extremely long period of time for a repair. A Work colleague had his car in an accident and his car was off the road for 3 weeks.
I had only switched to Apia insurance about a week before the accident, I wish I never did.

I have two car policies and 2 house policies, I am looking at changing back to a more reputable company shortly!
Update now can expected to be returned now 8th May, absolutely useless

The worst insurance company my family memeber has ever dealt with! Apia are the biggest theives she paid for 6 years and then they tried to threaten her with withdrawing her claim ! Scared her to death hope they get what's coming to them! Run far far away from this company

I can't believe the difference from when you are buying a policy to a claim being made. I have been on hold for 1hour 20 mins still no answer . This is my first claim in 40 yrs , all our insurance is with Apia i will be going elsewhere once this saga is over , this is the second time i have been on hold just to follow up a small claim for over an hour. Customer service ............there is none !!!

My 80 y o husband being harassed by Apia Car insurance.No compassion as he could have been killed by a driver wiping off the car door as he was adjusting seats behind drivers seat He is deemed the responsible party & has been charged for both repairs, in excess of 10K $.Appauling lack of customer service

Underinsured by $125000 ! Very expensive, more so than previous insurer by nearly $500 P/A. Also much less coverage options than previous.Pay more and get less! Not competitive at all , very disappointed.

Jenny and the investigations crew who work for this company have a long memory. Helped my Jewish friend through the dramas they threw at him a couple of years ago (he was 80 yrs old then) and we beat them on natural justice grounds. Had my claim disallowed this year on after months of them lying about contact with me they never initiated.

Wanted an update on car insurance which was due. They say that they are competitive in pricing. Well that's a NO. Their policy came in nearly $200 dearer that some other companies. So much for giving older people a fair go. Dont even bother to get a quote. Compare the market dont even rate them. !!!+!++

Product / policy pricing ok.
Claims, OMG what a nightmare!
Customer Relations: minimum 30 minutes on hold each time you call unless you're buying a policy. I usually give up.

An appalling experience! We moved interstate and made arrangements to cancel the contents policy at our old address and start it up at the new one - which meant the contents were also insured in transit. 3 months later, I got a renewal reminder from APIA for the contents at the old address and, when I rang to say "this policy was cancelled 3 months ago" they said "no it wasn't - and if you want to cancel it now, we can only refund the last 30 days". I lodged a complaint and they said they had reviewed all of the telephone conversations and I never requested a cancellation. I pointed out that this made no sense because they had taken my premium for the contents at the new address and, on the basis, could they not accept that the contents had moved from location A to B

I have paid these criminals for over 7 years without a claim, fridge dies after lightning strike so I put a claim in. Didn't hear boo from them, had to call them twice only to be told from an overseas call centre that my claim is still in progress and review? I asked to be put through to someone in Australia, ended up speaking with someone in Brisbane only to be advised exactly the same thing. Told them to shove it and return my $750 excess, I will just buy a new fridge and look for a reputable insurance company instead. It's so true you get what you pay for in Australia, it's probably better to pay a little more and have outstanding customer service then to pay minimal and get stuffed around by these criminals. I wish I could give them a zero rating..I just contacted Apia cancelled my policy and will continue a better experience with Budget Direct..

Absolutely garbage, my poor mum a retired 60+ year old woman had her car stolen which is bad enough as it is, once the car was recovered and the police had finished with it the insurance company APIA had her car sent from bunbury up to rockingham for evaluation only to write the car off send it off to auction without giving her any notice or a chance to retrieve any of her things out of the car, multiple sentimental items only for apia to turn around and tell her she needs to provide evidence "reciepts" that the things in her own car are actually hers so she can not retrieve them but so they can decide an estimate and pay her out.... Sentimental things have no cost you idiots they can't be replaced. How hard is it to communicate with your customers and give them access to their own vehicles to collect their things before you send it off. I wouldn't use muppets if my life depended on it.
