Insurance Through Your Superannuation

Your superannuation isn’t just a retirement savings tool—it’s also a gateway to affordable, automatic insurance coverage. Many super funds offer life, total and permanent disability (TPD), and income protection insurance, providing a financial safety net when you need it most.

More About Us
Insurance

Types of Insurance Available

Life Insurance (Death Cover)

Provides a lump sum payment to your nominated beneficiaries if you pass away. This can help ease financial burdens for your loved ones during a challenging time.

Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Insurance

Offers a lump sum if you become totally and permanently disabled and are unable to work again. This coverage supports you financially if your ability to earn an income is permanently impaired.

Income Protection Insurance

Replaces a portion of your income if you're temporarily unable to work due to illness or injury. Typically, it pays up to 75% of your regular income for a set period, helping you maintain financial stability during recovery.
How It Works

How It Works

Automatic Cover

Many super funds provide default insurance coverage when you join. This means you might be automatically covered without needing to apply or undergo medical assessments.

Premium Deductions

Insurance premiums are usually deducted directly from your super balance. While this means you don’t pay out-of-pocket, it’s important to note that these deductions can reduce your retirement savings over time.

Age Limits

Coverage often ends at certain ages—typically, life cover ceases at age 70, and TPD cover at age 65. It’s essential to understand these limits to plan accordingly.
