Set up your insurance

Use the Start your basic cover form included in your Welcome Pack to:

Start any basic cover you pay for

Activate cover2 before your super balance reaches $6,000 within 120 days from your Welcome letter date.

Reduce or cancel your cover

If you don’t want cover you pay for to automatically start at age 25 or when your super balance reaches $6,000. If you cancel your cover you might not be able to get cover later. You’ll need to reapply and provide detailed health information for the insurer to consider.

Check Work Your Rating

As a Select member, you have both individual work rating and category work rating. You’re automatically provided with the default Blue Collar rating, which is the most expensive insurance cover3. Check if you’re eligible for a different individual work rating using the Work Rating Tool.
