Total and permanent disablement cover

Income protection cover

Apply for insurance or increase your cover

The easiest way to apply for any type of cover, or to increase your existing cover is through your Member Online account.

Generally, new members aren't eligible to get automatic cover until they are:

  • at least 25 years of age, and
  • have an account balance of at least $6,000.

However some occupations involve higher risk and make it harder to get insurance.  For those roles, we may apply a ‘dangerous occupation exception’. 

This exception currenlt applies to members working in emergency services, which may make them eligible for automatic cover sooner.

You can find the eligibility criteria in the relevant Insurance handbook.

Other ways to change your insurance

Transfer your cover

If you have insurance with another company or super fund, you can apply to transfer it to us. You cannot apply to transfer and then keep your old insurance.  You should be aware that you are transferring your cover amount and not the terms and conditions.
