* The Insurance in Superannuation Voluntary Code of Practice (the Code) is a voluntary code of practice for superannuation trustees. The Code was produced by a cross-industry working group and sets out the superannuation industry’s commitment to high standards when providing insurance to members of superannuation funds. It does this by creating standard practices particularly in relation to insurance offered on an automatic basis, insurance communications and claims processes.
