For more information on occupational exclusions, other exclusions, specific meanings and how they apply to you, please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)

Finding the right level of life insurance cover is different for everyone and depends on your circumstances. Things to consider when deciding how much cover you need may include; your life stage, whether you look after other people, if you have any debt, and the ongoing needs of your family and loved ones.

These are five questions to ask yourself before taking out life insurance cover.

For full terms, conditions, limits, definitions, exclusions and benefits please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)

If you’re a member of an Australian superannuation fund you may already have some life insurance cover.

However, typically default life insurance cover within a superannuation plan only provides some of the life insurance you may actually need. It's important to find out what type of insurance you already have by either asking your superannuation fund or your employer. Then you'll know where you stand, and whether you need extra cover.

Depending on the product, your premium may be determined by your type and level of cover, benefit indexation if chosen, health history, age, gender, smoking status and any discounts you may receive.

If you select the optional TPD cover, your premium will also depend on your employment situation and occupation. 

You may also be required to take out a level of cover sufficient to meet the minimum premium. The premium amount also includes government charges such as stamp duty and taxes.

It is easy to apply online via NetBank or the CommBank app with no medicals or blood tests required and you’re covered as soon as your application is accepted.
