Transferring insurance cover

Do you have insurance already?

You may already have insurance cover with another super fund. Or life insurance you’ve taken out. Your employment EBA might even include some insurance cover.

If you already have cover and you’re thinking about applying for insurance through AustralianSuper, there are a few things to think about. Do you need more cover? Who pays for the cover you already have (you or your employer)? If you pay for it, are the costs deducted from your super account or your take home pay?

If you decide you need Income Protection through AustralianSuper as well as elsewhere, you might be able to claim on both policies, so you receive one benefit at a time.

Transferring cover

From another super fund or insurer

From another super fund or insurer

You can apply to transfer any existing Death, Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD) or Income Protection cover from your individual insurance or other super fund to AustralianSuper.

There are limits to how much you can transfer. Any conditions (restrictions or exclusions) that apply to the cover you’re transferring, will continue to apply after the transfer.
