Whether you hold a car or home insurance policy, the platform consolidates the necessary information and documents required to keep your claim moving forward.

Steps to Lodge and Manage a Claim
Following a structured approach helps the claims team assess your situation efficiently. Ensure you have gathered your documentation before you begin the lodgement.
- Prepare Your Evidence: Organize photos of the damage, contact details of other parties involved, and any relevant invoices or reports. Having these items ready prevents delays during the digital submission.
- Log In to Your Account: Navigate to the My Suncorp portal or launch the Suncorp Insurance App. Use your registered credentials to access your dashboard.
- Select Your Policy: Choose the specific policy related to the incident. Selecting the correct policy ensures the claim links to your records without issue.
- Lodge the Incident: Complete the digital form by entering the time, date, and description of the event. Attach your supporting evidence, such as photos or receipts, to the portal as requested.
- Monitor Claim Status: After submission, you will receive a claim reference number. Use this number to log back into the portal to view status updates, repairer contact information, or requests for further information.
Troubleshooting Portal Access
Technical difficulties can occasionally disrupt your ability to manage a claim. These steps may assist you in resolving common barriers.
- MFA and Login Issues: If you cannot sign in, verify that your registered email address and mobile number are current. If the multi-factor authentication code does not arrive, check your spam folder or contact telephone support to confirm your identity.
- Browser or App Errors: Pages may fail to load due to outdated browser caches or older app versions. Clear your browser’s cache or check your app store for pending updates. If the error persists, attempt to log in using a different web browser or a secondary device.
- Locked Account Access: If your account access is restricted after multiple failed attempts, wait for the lockout period to expire. If access does not return, call the support line to reset your credentials. Avoid creating a new profile, as this often delays the linking of your existing claim.
Pro-Tip: Before uploading photos or documents, rename your files with clear, descriptive titles (e.g., 'car_damage_front_view.jpg') and ensure they are in standard formats like JPEG or PDF. This helps the Claims Manager identify your evidence quickly, reducing the time spent clarifying what each file represents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my claim not appear in the online portal after I lodged it?
There is often a short time frame between lodging a claim and it appearing in your digital dashboard, particularly if the claim was submitted via phone. The system requires time to sync your policy information with the new claim file. If more than 24 hours have passed and the claim remains invisible, verify that you are logged into the correct 'My Suncorp' account associated with the specific policy, or contact the support team to confirm the claim's status.
Can I upload additional documentation after submitting the claim?
Yes, the portal generally allows for the upload of additional evidence as your claim progresses. If you later find receipts, witness reports, or further photos, navigate to your claim summary page in the app or website and look for the document upload section. If you encounter a system restriction, forward the items to your assigned Claims Manager via the email address provided in your claim correspondence.
What should I do if I receive an error when paying my excess online?
Payment errors typically occur due to temporary bank processing delays or incorrect card details. Double-check your card information and ensure your internet connection is stable before retrying the transaction. If the system continues to reject the payment, do not attempt multiple consecutive transactions, as this can trigger a security hold; instead, call the claims line to pay your excess over the phone or via an alternative method.
