Find out more about insurance costs

The cost of your cover is known as an insurance premium. The premium is based on several factors: 

  • your age 
  • your cover type and amount 
  • your insurance category 
  • any premium loadings the insurer applies.


For income protection cover we’ll also take into account your:

  • waiting period
  • benefit period.

In addition to your insurance premiums, we deduct an insurance administration fee. This fee is $1.85 per month and helps cover the cost of managing your insurance.
