- If updating mobile, you'll need access to your email and vice versa. You can change your mobile number and email address in the app or the Member Portal once you’re logged in.

Set up your insurance
A Start your basic cover form is included in your Welcome pack so you can:
Start your basic cover
Start your basic cover2 before you meet both age and balance requirements. You'll need to apply within 120 days of the date of your welcome letter.
Cancel some or all of your cover
If you don’t want basic cover to start automatically when you're eligible, you can opt out by cancelling it. If you want cover later you’ll need to apply and provide detailed health information for the Insurer to consider.
Change your individual work rating
You’re automatically provided with the default Blue Collar work rating, which is the most expensive. Check if you’re eligible for a different work rating.
Work out how much cover you may need
To help you work out how much insurance cover you may need use the insurance calculator.
Apply for an insurance transfer
Read the Applying for an insurance transfer fact sheet for step-by-step instructions on how to transfer cover from another fund or insurer and to find out if it’s right for you.

- AustralianSuper insurance is provided by TAL Life Limited (the Insurer) ABN 70 050 109 450, AFSL 237848.
- Before making a decision to combine your super, consider any fees or charges that may apply, and the effect a transfer may have on benefits in your other fund such as insurance cover. We recommend you consider seeking financial advice. If you wish to claim a tax deduction for personal super contributions, you must lodge a notice of intent to claim a tax deduction with your other fund before you combine your super.
