How to transfer cover

You’ll need to provide information such as:
- evidence of your other policy
- details of your employment
- details about your health and lifestyle.
Based on this information the insurer will decide whether to accept the transferred cover.
Your cover starts on the date the insurer accepts your transfer application.
It's important that you don't cancel your other insurance until we have confirmed that your transfer has been approved.
Things to consider
- You should be aware that you are transferring your cover amount. This includes any individual exclusions and loadings that applied to your cover.
- Different insurance policies have different terms and conditions.
- When you transfer your cover, the Aware Super terms and conditions will apply to your new cover. So it’s a good idea to compare the terms and conditions before you transfer your cover.
- We’ll add any death and total and permanent disablement cover you transfer onto your existing cover. This is subject to the maximum cover limits.
- Any income protection cover you transfer will replace your level of income protection cover with us. This is subject to the maximum cover limit.
