Illness, injury or death of a loved one can be a financial strain on your family.
Once you are assessed as eligible to receive payment of the benefit, it is paid out as a lump sum to either you directly to help with ongoing living expenses, rehabilitation or medical costs; or even funeral costs.
If you are diagnosed with a terminal illness you may be eligible to receive an early payment of your death cover. This can be paid directly to you.
How do I get cover?
Generally, you will gain automatic Death & TPD cover when you join Vision Super with a Saver account through part or full-time employment with a participating employer. There are rules around your employment, account balance and age. Automatic cover is subject to the terms and conditions of the insurance policy, between the Insurer and the Trustee.
Tailor your cover
Depending on your needs and circumstances you can customise your cover. You have the option to increase/decrease your cover. You have the option to keep only death cover (by cancelling any automatic TPD cover), increase or decrease cover, or change it to fixed cover. This will let you maintain the same level of cover over time no matter your age, but premiums will increase as you get older.
