Frequently Asked Questions - Life Insurance
What is Life Insurance?

Why is life insurance so important?
Life insurance can help secure the financial future for your loved ones if you were no longer there to provide for them.

I’m young and healthy, why would I consider insurance?
No one knows what lies around the corner, whether it’s accident or illness - and securing cover early ensures the protection is there if it’s needed. If you wait until you are unwell, the cost of life insurance could substantially increase, and it may also be difficult to obtain.

How can I save money on my insurance?
With some insurance policies the price you pay depends on your age, health and whether or not you smoke. While you can’t change your age or your gender, if you quit smoking and have not smoked for 12 consecutive months we will upgrade you from "smoker" to non-smoker rates – this can mean significant savings on your premium. You could also consider adding benefits such as accidental death insurance to your main policy. In some cases this can be much more cost effective and easier to manage than having multiple policies.
Am I covered if I am overseas?
Absolutely. Once your application is accepted, you are covered 24/7, anywhere in the world.
Do you accept payment by credit card?
Yes. You can pay your fortnightly or monthly premiums on the date of your choice – and you can pay either by automatic debit from your bank, credit union or building society account or by charge to your Visa or Mastercard.
