We offer three types of insurance – Income Protection (IP), Total and Permanent Disability (TPD), and Death cover (which can be paid early if you’re diagnosed with a Terminal Illness) – so you can choose the type of cover that’s right for you. And, we offer insurance no matter how few hours you’re working - even if you’re a casual.
Income Protection
If you’re unable to work for a prolonged period due to injury or illness, you may be eligible to receive payments that replace some of your income.
If you become totally and permanently disabled as a result of being sick or injured and are unlikely to ever work again, you may be eligible to receive a lump sum payment.
To keep things simple, we’ve created Default cover – a simple, affordable insurance package of IP, TPD and Death cover that’s available to all eligible members regardless of your occupation.
If Default cover isn’t enough, you can increase your cover by choosing from a range of options (eligibility conditions apply) to help you tailor your insurance cover to suit you including:
Special offer to increase your cover – if your Default cover recently started, you may be able to take advantage of our offer to increase your cover without providing health information
