We understand that making a life insurance claim is never easy, that’s why we’re here to support you every step of the way.

How we support you when you need to make a claim

We’ll work with you to make the claims experience as seamless as possible. We’ll first ask questions so we understand your needs and situation. This will also help us understand what we will require from you to start assessing your claim. We’ll then guide you through the documentation process to get your claim underway.

If you need to make a claim

It’s important that you get in contact with us as soon as you need to make a claim. You can call us on 1300 125 246. The quicker you let us know, the quicker we can be there to support you.

Make a claim

Before you call us

Have your life insurance policy number ready when you call and we can get the claims process underway. Your policy number can be found on your Policy Schedule which forms part of your policy document.

Assessing your claim

Once we've received all the required information, we’ll start the assessment. If we need any more information from you, we'll let you know. We're always available to talk you through the requirements at any point.

Notifying you of the decision

We'll maintain contact with you during the claims assessment to ensure we have all the information we need. Once we've completed our assessment, we’ll let you know the claims outcome and what the next steps will be.

Paying the claim benefit

If your claim is approved, we'll make payment either by direct credit (electronic transfer of funds) into a nominated bank account or by cheque – depending on the type of claim.

Is your insurance through your super fund or employer?

The best way to make your claim is to contact your employer or super fund directly. We'll then work closely with them to get your claim underway.
