I'm finally getting my act into gear and insuring all my stuff and am finding it very difficult to select a company.

One in Sydney, IT Insurance Services (http://www.itinsurance.com.au/), says that because my stuff is over 12 months old I'll need to provide evidence of its value, etc...

Can anyone recommend them?

Can I ask for recommendations from people in Australia (and in Melbourne also) that have found good policies from good companies?

John, try looking around for brokers in the field. I can't recall any off hand, but IMO they're worth their commission first time out.
Cheers.

I've heard of them but can't recommend - I insure through my contents policy (hobby use only, not for income producing purposes) - no matter who it is, you only find out how good they are if you make a claim.
