Generally yes, DJI Care Refresh is best here in Oz.
Covers the drone for accidental loss, or with extra excess fee flyaway.
Commercial insurance is available from a few various drone specialty insurers, to cover public liability damage / personal injury etc, but for obvious reasons it’s not available for hobbyists.

Cheers mate, no problems.
I saw your other post about 2nd hand insurance.
Nothing at all can be had for that when flying a drone recreationally, as far as I'm aware.
Well, apart from commercial insurances, which generally can cover the aircraft, other equipment (if stolen too), public injury (liability) etc.
To get that you'd need to have RePL and possibly ReOC as well, as that part covers a business where a licenced remote pilot would work under that umbrella.
CASA info on the official licenses to be had if flying for business . . .
Remote pilot licence
You could get cover of the drone in transit, in the car etc, usually a special inclusion under home contents insurance, may be called 'portables' cover.
I assume though you'd like cover for damage when flying, so no, nothing at all for that sort of cover I'm aware of.
These things pretty much fly them selves in the way they behave, stability etc, so you will probably get used to that pretty quick.
Most losses are pilot error, so start off slow, look through here to see what sort of things cause most crashes, learn in small steps as you progress.
