Damage claims from two weeks of intense bushfires in Queensland and NSW have hit $145 million and will certainly climb further, the Insurance Council of Australia says.

Firefighters are still assessing the damage, with 1340 claims lodged so far across both states.

House losses alone stand at 612 in NSW and 20 in Queensland, while many other homes have been damaged, rural assets lost, and grazing and cropping land blackened.

"Claims will continue to rise, and those dollar figures will continue to rise," the insurance council's Campbell Fuller told ABC radio.
