Life Care

No amount of money can replace a loved one, but knowing that your family will be financially secure after you’re gone can give them some comfort during a difficult time and you the peace of mind to live life to its fullest.

Features & benefits

Life insurance provides your beneficiaries with a lump sum payment in the event of your death or upon diagnosis of a terminal illness with less than 12 months to live. For your convenience, the policy can be purchased on its own or packaged with and/or Total Permanent Disability (TPD).

In addition to a Death Benefit and a Terminal Illness Benefit, which provide you or your beneficiaries a lump sum payment in the event of your death or terminal illness, the policy includes:

• Life Care Advance Payment Benefit, which provides a cash advance of up to $30,000 to help with funeral expenses.
• Financial Planning Benefit, which helps cover the cost of financial planning for loved ones.
• Accommodation Benefit, which covers the cost of accommodating a family member to be near you should you be confined to a bed away from home.
• Severe Hardship Booster Benefit, which will pay an increased benefit to your loved ones if your terminal illness or death is due to specified conditions.
• Interim Accident Cover, which covers you for accidents while we’re processing your application.
• Loyalty Bonus Benefit, which rewards you by paying a 5% higher Life Care benefit after five years.
• Life Care Buy Back Benefit, which reinstates Life Care after 12 months if it is reduced due to a TPD Cover or Trauma Cover claim.
• Indexation Benefit, which increases your cover each year in line with inflation.
• Child Cover Option, which provides the opportunity to cover your children with your life and trauma insurance policies.
• Plan Protection Option, which ensures that you don't pay premiums if you are totally disabled for three months or more.
