1. If you are employed on a casual basis, work as an independent contractor, or earn an income from
a business you directly own part of or all of, income means the remuneration earned by you from all
regular occupations.
2. Where you directly own all or part of the business in which you perform a regular occupation, your

earned by you from permanent employment in all regular occupations including:
(a) the value of a fringe benefit which:
(i)
you receive from your employer by way of salary sacrifice, and
(ii) you would benefit from for at least 6 months after the date on which the salary, which you

Applying for insurance cover
How do I apply for insurance cover?
If you are a member of a superannuation service and are
within the eligible age range and a permanent resident of
Australia, you can apply for insurance cover by contacting your
financial adviser. Depending on the level of cover you wish to
apply for you may be requested to provide health evidence, and
may also be requested to provide financial evidence if the cover
you have elected is above a certain limit.
Your financial adviser will be able to best assist you in
determining the level of cover you require and the types
of insurance you are able to take out.
Life and/or life and TPD cover up to a maximum of $800,000
and/or income protection cover up to $6,000 per month can
be applied for by completing a short form questionnaire, which
contains limited eligibility questions. Should you require insurance
cover in excess of $800,000 and/or $6,000 income protection,
a full personal statement is required. Both forms contain
questions to ascertain details that the Insurer requires for record
keeping and premium calculation. The Insurer may require you
to provide further medical evidence to assist them to assess your
application. The evidence requested from you will depend on
answers you have provided on the personal statements including
details of any hazardous activities and pastimes.
New members of a superannuation service are able to apply
for insurance cover up to a maximum of $400,000 for life and/or
life and TPD at the time of establishing their superannuation
account by completing a limited number of eligibility questions.
If completed online, the insurance application will be underwritten
immediately after answering the required questions. Standard
identification questions will apply.
The offer of $400,000 cover is only available within 30 days
of commencing with a superannuation service.
Application forms may be obtained through your financial adviser
or the Trustee.
Your duty, however, does not require disclosure of a matter:
•• that diminishes the risk to be undertaken by the Insurer
•• that is of common knowledge
•• that your Insurer knows or, in the ordinary course
of its business ought to know, or
•• as to which compliance with your duty is waived
by the Insurer.
Non-disclosure
If you fail to comply with your duty of disclosure and the Insurer
would not have covered you on any terms if the failure had not
occurred, the Insurer may void the cover within three years of
issuing it. If your non-disclosure is fraudulent, the Insurer may
void your cover at any time. An Insurer who is entitled to void
your cover may, within three years of issuing it, elect not to
void it but to reduce the sum that you have been insured for in
accordance with a formula that takes into account the premium
that would have been payable if you had disclosed all relevant
matters to the Insurer.
Am I eligible for interim accident cover?
While the Insurer is assessing your application, you will receive
interim accident cover for the cover level you have applied for,
up to the maximum levels specified below.
For example, if you are applying for life and TPD cover of
$800,000 and income protection cover of $6,000 per month
and you become disabled as a result of an accident you will be
eligible to claim for these amounts. The insurance benefit is only
payable if you die, or become disabled within 120 days of being
involved in an accident. The maximum amount of the benefit that
will be paid as a result of an accident is $1,000,000 for life or TPD
and $15,000 per month for two years for income protection.
Interim accident cover will continue until the earliest of:
(a) the date you withdraw your request for insurance cover
or additional insurance cover
What is my ‘duty of disclosure’?
(b) the date the Insurer accepts the request for cover or
additional insurance cover on standard or special terms
Before you enter into or become insured under a contract of life
insurance with an insurer, you have a duty under the Insurance
Contracts Act 1984, to disclose to the Insurer every matter that
you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, is relevant
to the insurer’s decision whether to accept the risk of the
insurance and, if so, on what terms.
(c) the date the Insurer rejects your request for the insurance
cover or additional insurance cover
You have the same duty to disclose those matters to the insurer
before you extend, vary or reinstate life insurance.
6
(d) the date on which a benefit becomes payable
(e) the date the Insurer cancels the interim accident cover, or
(f) 120 days from the date you applied for insurance cover
or additional insurance cover.
Interim accident cover is subject to the same exclusions,
limitations and restrictions that apply for life and TPD cover under
the policy.
For interim accident cover applying to income protection,
the waiting period you will receive, will be the waiting period
you are applying for. Monthly benefits will continue until the
earliest of:
How is my information handled?
(a) you are no longer totally disabled
The privacy of your personal information is important to
the Trustee.
(c) you reach age 65
Details of the Trustee’s Privacy Policy can be found in the PDS.
In addition, a copy of the Trustee’s Privacy Policy is available by
contacting the Trustee or your financial adviser.
(d) you die.
You can contact the Trustee’s Privacy Officer:
Interim accident cover is subject to the same exclusions,
limitations, restrictions and claim procedures as apply to
you as an insured member under the Policies.

(b) two years
If you are entitled to make a claim your application for cover
is automatically cancelled. In addition, the Insurer will require
payment of the premium for the period from the date you
requested cover to the date of the accident.
When does my cover start?
You will be advised of the start date for your cover in writing.
This will be when the Insurer has accepted the health evidence
you have provided and you have commenced your membership of
the superannuation service. You must be in active employment
when your cover starts, or you will receive limited cover until you
are in active employment for 2 consecutive months.
How do I transfer my existing
insurance cover?
If you have existing insurance cover outside of the superannuation
service in another superannuation fund or a retail policy, you can
apply to transfer this cover over to LifeProtect. In order to affect
this transfer you must also cancel your previous cover. For more
details on the terms of this insurance transfer, please request an
insurance transfer form from your financial adviser.
Can I keep my insurance cover
if travelling overseas?
How do I increase my cover?
You may apply to increase your life only or life and TPD cover
at any time, up to the maximum amounts offered, by contacting
your financial adviser. You may need to provide health and
financial evidence to the Insurer who will advise you if and when
this cover is accepted.
How do I reduce or cancel my cover?
You may also reduce your insurance cover at any time by
advising the Insurer or Trustee in writing.
You can also cancel your cover at any time by notifying the
Insurer or Trustee in writing. Once your request has been
received, the insurance premiums you pay will cease from the
end of the month prior to you advising the Insurer or Trustee.
You will continue to be covered for life and TPD cover, at no cost,
for 60 days after you cancel your cover, provided that you are
eligible to exercise a continuation option (see page 10 for
further information).
Worldwide Cover:
Once you have cover you will generally continue to be covered
if you leave Australia. The maximum time that the Insurer will pay
an income protection benefit while a person is outside Australia
is 6 months.
If you place a claim for an insurance benefit while overseas,
you may need to return to Australia at your own expense in order
to complete medical assessment requirements for the Insurer.
7
The costs associated with insurance
Your insurance premium consists of:
•• insurance premium, including stamp duty if applicable
•• insurance charge, if applicable
•• adviser commission.
How do I calculate my premium?
The cost of your insurance cover will also be advised to you in writing at the time your cover is accepted. It will depend on the type
of cover, the level of cover, your age, gender, whether you smoke and what occupational rating you have been accepted for.
The occupational loading differs dependent on your type of occupation classification.
Occupation classifications
Professional
Members hold a tertiary qualification or are a member of an institute or registered Government body and earn
more than $80,000 per annum. They may also be in a management role.
White Collar / Clerical
Members work entirely in an office environment (or at least 80%) with no manual work.
Non Manual Blue
Members roles are primarily non-manual, but may involve some light manual work from time to time.
Light Manual
Members are skilled and semi-skilled trades people who do a moderate amount of manual work.
Heavy Manual
Members are unskilled manual workers, or skilled heavy manual workers.
The premium rates and occupational loadings applicable
to the superannuation service are available from your
financial adviser.
The following examples use sample rates for the purposes
of assisting calculation and are not representative of what
premiums may be applicable to you.
Example 1
Consider a woman with an income of $42,000 at 1 July,
aged 50 on her next birthday. She has selected a 30 day waiting
period and a two year benefit period. She is a non-smoker.
An occupation loading of 100% applies as she is a
clerical employee.
Insurance required
$42,000 x 75% = $31,500
$31,500÷ 12 months = $2,625 monthly benefit
Insurance cost
Insured monthly benefit ÷ $1000 x rate shown in the premium rate
table applicable to the superannuation service.
$2,625 ÷ 1000 x $20.38 = $53.50 is the monthly premium.
Therefore the annual premium is $641.97.
8
Example 2
Consider a woman with an income of $180,000 at 1 July,
aged 35 on her next birthday. She has selected a 90 day waiting
period and an age 65 benefit period. She is a smoker. She is a
professional employee, therefore an occupation loading
of 90% applies.
Insurance required
$180,000 x 75% = $135,000
$135,000 ÷ 12 months = $11,250 monthly benefit
Insurance cost
Insured monthly benefit ÷ $1000 x rate shown in the premium
rate table applicable to the superannuation service x
occupational loading
$11,250 ÷ 1000 x $9.44 x 90% = $95.58 is the monthly premium.
Therefore the annual premium is $1,146.96.
How do I pay premiums?
Premiums are deducted automatically from the available cash
balance in your superannuation account on a monthly basis and
paid in arrears to the Insurer. You need to ensure that there is
enough money available in your account to enable payment to
be made.
What happens if there are insufficient
funds to pay the premium?
Where the Trustee is unable to make your premium payment
you will be notified in writing and requested to top up your
superannuation account, and you will be advised that failure
to do so within the period outlined will result in your insurance
cover lapsing.
Are there any other costs
associated with my insurance?
The Trustee is paid an Insurance Charge to cover administration
costs associated with maintaining your insurance cover through
the superannuation service.
We pay commission and other benefits to our advisers.
These amounts are factored into the cost of the insurance,
and are not additional amounts you have to pay.
Please refer to the PDS for important information regarding
the fees and premiums associated with your insurance cover.
If a premium payment cannot be made to the Insurer due
to insufficient funds for two consecutive months, the Insurer will
write to advise that your insurance cover has lapsed. To reinstate
your insurance cover you will need to reapply and undergo any
applicable underwriting requirements in order to take out new
insurance cover.
Will the premium amount change?
Premiums generally increase as your age increases. Premiums
are calculated on your age next birthday when you take out
insurance cover and will be updated each year on 1 July.
If you have selected to take advantage of CPI on your insured
benefit, your sum insured will also be amended to take advantage
of this increase, up to a maximum increase per annum of 7.5%.
A minimum increase of 3% per annum will be applied each year.
This will also have an effect on your premium amount.
You will be advised of your new premium amount and
the amount of insurance on your superannuation service
annual benefit statement.
Your premium may also change where you apply to increase
or reduce your cover.
Premiums may also change where you advise the Insurer that
you have changed your details, including (but not limited to)
changes to your occupation, smoking status, benefit period etc.
The Insurer may also change the premium rates and we will notify
you as required under Superannuation Law if this occurs.
9
Making a claim
Leaving the
Superannuation Service
How do I make a claim?
Can I continue my insurance cover if
I close my superannuation account?
You should notify the Trustee of any claim as soon as possible
after you become aware of any claim or potential claim.
Before a benefit is paid under the Policies you must:
•• provide the Insurer with satisfactory proof of age, if required
•• complete any relevant claims forms and provide supporting
evidence of the claim
•• provide the Insurer with such medical, income or other
evidence as it requires from time to time (at your expense)
•• undergo any medical or other examination which the Insurer
reasonably requires. (The Insurer will pay medical fees but
will not pay any other costs such as travel expenses), and
•• in the case of income protection cover, comply with any
medical treatment or rehabilitation program that is reasonable.
If an insurance benefit becomes payable the Insurer will pay
the insurance proceeds to the Trustee, who in turn will be
responsible for paying the benefit in accordance with the relevant
Superannuation Law and the Trust Deed.
If you elect to leave the superannuation service, you have the
option within 60 days of closing your superannuation account
to apply for an individual disability income cover without having
to produce evidence of health to the insurer.
The following conditions apply:
•• you must be less than 75 years of age for life cover, 65 years
for total and permanent disablement cover and 60 years for
income protection cover at the time your cover ends under the
Policies held with the Trustee of the superannuation service
•• you were employed on a permanent basis and for at least the
15 hours per week when your cover ended under the Policies
(for income protection cover only)
•• when your cover ended under the Policies, no benefit was,
or was about to be, payable under the Policies and no
circumstances existed which, if the subject of a claim under
the Policies, would have resulted in a benefit being payable
to you under the Policies
•• the premium payable for you was not overdue when your
cover ended under the Policies
•• any exclusions or special conditions applicable to you will
apply to the individual disability income policy issued by
the Insurer
•• the Insurer receives both the request for cover under the new
individual policy and the correct premium for that cover within
60 days of your cover ending
•• you do not join any armed forces (other than the Australian
Armed Forces Reserve) before the date the individual policy
is issued
•• the individual disability income policy will be an indemnity
value policy (which means that you will receive a benefit based
on your income at the time you are disabled, even if it has
decreased since you took the policy out) owned by yourself,
and will be based on the Insurer’s retail product at the time
you leave the superannuation service
•• the benefits provided will be no greater than those provided
under the Policies (including in the case of income protection
cover, the monthly benefit, waiting period,
and benefit period)
•• the Policies with the Trustee of the superannuation service
must be still in-force, and
•• CommInsure’s minimum policy issue requirements are met.
Once you have exercised a continuation option, you will not
be eligible for any future cover under the Policies unless the
Insurer agrees in writing.
10
Life insurance
What types of life cover are available?
Life insurance
Life insurance only or life and total and permanent disablement
(TPD) insurance cover is available.
A benefit payable as a result of life or TPD will be paid in the form
of a lump sum.
LifeProtect enables life insurance cover to be taken out in the
following combinations:
•• Life insurance cover – payable only in the event of terminal
illness or the death of the member
•• Life & TPD cover – payable in the event of either death or total
and permanent disablement of the member.
TPD cover is not offered as a stand alone insurance option and
must be combined with life cover.
All life insurance cover includes cover for terminal illness.
Terminal illness is defined as a member being certified by a
medical practitioner specialising in that illness, that the illness will
(despite reasonable medical treatment) lead to the member’s death
within 12 months of the date of the certification. It is paid from the
member’s life insurance cover to a maximum of $2 million.
Payments made as a result of death, TPD or terminal illness will
be made to the Trustee. In distributing this money the Trustee will
be guided by the relevant Superannuation Law and the underlying
trust deed, and in the event of a death benefit, any nomination of
beneficiaries that you have made.
If my personal situation changes, am I able to increase
my insurance?
If you get married, or become a parent you can apply to increase
your life and TPD insurance cover. The maximum increase
permitted is the lesser of $100,000 or 25% of your current sum
insured. This is without providing any medical evidence and may
help keep your insurance in line with your changing
personal circumstances.
The following conditions apply:
•• you can only exercise this option once in a 12 month period
•• you apply and provide satisfactory evidence within 60 days
of the event occurring, and
•• any increase in your cover is subject to the same exclusions
and other special conditions as apply to your previous level
of cover.
Total and Permanent Disability Insurance
TPD cover is available when combined with life insurance and
can be up to or equal to the amount of life insurance cover
or $3 million, whichever is lesser.
LifeProtect contains a number of TPD definitions to enable easier
access to your benefit in the event that you need to make a
claim. Each of these definitions is described below.

•• limb means the whole hand below the wrist or whole foot
below the ankle, and

visual acuity is 6/60 or less, or to the extent that the visual field
is reduced to 20 degrees or less of arc.

Definition 5
One of the following applies:
You:
(any occupation)
(i)
were, on the date of disablement, aged 65 years or less
and employed, and
(ii)
as a result of illness or injury, have been absent from
all work for 6 consecutive months from the date of
disablement and the Insurer considers, on the basis of
medical and other evidence satisfactory to them that you
are unlikely ever to be able to engage in any occupation,
whether or not for reward
where occupation means an occupation that the insured member
can perform, on a full time or part time basis, based on the skills
and knowledge the person has acquired through previous
education, training or experience.
Life buy-back option
Twelve months after the Trustee has been paid a TPD benefit for
you under the Life & TPD insurance policy, you may be able to
take out a continuation option for life only cover. Please contact
your financial adviser for more information.
When does cover cease?
Your cover ends in the superannuation service on the earliest
of the following:
•• the date a benefit is paid for you that reduces your insured
cover to nil
•• the month prior to you reaching the cover expiry age, which is
75 for life cover, and 70 for TPD cover
•• when you leave the superannuation service
•• the end of the month prior to you providing written
confirmation that you wish to cancel your insured cover, or on
another date the Insurer agrees in writing (but you will continue
to be covered under the extended cover provisions for 60
days, see page 7)
•• 2 months after you have insufficient funds in your
superannuation account to pay your insurance premiums
or
You:
(own occupation)
(i)
were, on the date of disablement, aged 65 years or less
and employed, and
(ii)
as a result of illness or injury, have been absent from
all work for 6 consecutive months from the date of
disablement and the Insurer considers, on the basis of
medical and other evidence satisfactory to them that you
are unlikely ever to be able to engage in your own
occupation, whether or not for reward
•• if you die, or
•• if you commence active duty in any armed forces, other than
the Australian Armed Forces Reserves.
where occupation means gainful occupation that the insured
member engages in on a full time basis immediately prior to total
and permanent disablement.
Despite the above, you will not be totally and permanently
disabled under Definition 5 if:
(i)
at any time after you cease employment but prior to the date
of disablement, you are not employed for a period of 6 or
more consecutive months from the termination date of your
last period of employment (‘period of unemployment’), and
(ii)
you do not, after your most recent period of unemployment
but prior to the date of disablement, return to active
employment for 40 consecutive working days.
If your life insurance amount exceeds your TPD insurance
amount and you are successful in lodging a claim for TPD,
the excess life insurance amount will continue in the
superannuation service.
If your life insurance amount exceeds $2 million and you are
successful in lodging a claim for terminal illness, the excess life
insurance amount will continue in the superannuation service.

Income protection insurance
What income protection
cover is available?
If you are an employee of an employer on a permanent basis
and are working more than 15 hours per week you are eligible
to apply for income protection cover within your superannuation
service. The cover provided is an indemnity value policy (which
means that you will receive a benefit based on your income at the
time you are disabled, even if it has decreased since you took the
policy out), which allows you to insure 75% of your pre-disability
income. You can also elect at the time of applying for cover to
have your benefit increased, effective 1 July each year, in line
with the Consumer Price Index (CPI), up to a maximum
of 7.5%p.a. If you do not make this election when you first have
the opportunity you may need to provide health evidence at a
later date. Further information about CPI is located on page 9.
There are a number of different types of insurance benefits
payable under income protection cover, these include:
•• Total Disability Benefit
•• Partial Disability Benefit
•• Rehabilitation Expense Benefit
The Insurer will pay a benefit of $3,000 per month provided that
you continue to be totally disabled, after you have waited 90 days
(the waiting period). The period during which the benefit will be
paid depends on the benefit payment period that applies to you.
Partial Disability Benefit
If you are partially disabled after the waiting period has ended,
some of the total disability benefit will be paid, based on the
reduction in your pre-disability income. This is called the partial
disability benefit. This benefit can continue until the end of the
benefit period, provided you continue to be partially disabled,
but not beyond age 65.
Partial disability means that because of sickness or injury, you:
•• have been totally disabled for at least 14 days
•• are unable to work in your own occupation at full capacity
immediately after you became totally disabled because of the
sickness or injury that caused your total disability
•• are working in your own occupation in a reduced capacity,
or working in another occupation
•• are earning a monthly income that is less than your
pre‑disability income, and
•• Recurrent Disability Benefit.
•• are under the regular care of, and following the advice
of, a medical practitioner acceptable to the Insurer.
Each of these insurance benefits is now described in more detail.
If you are partially disabled, the monthly benefit will be reduced.
Total Disability Benefit
The total disability benefit is paid if you are totally disabled for longer
than your elected waiting period. Insurance benefits can continue
until the end of the benefit period you elect, provided you continue
to be totally disabled, but not beyond age 65. The amount of total
disability benefit you will receive is the monthly benefit (see the
Glossary) subject to a maximum of $30,000 per month for benefit
payment period of 2 years, or $25,000 for benefit payment periods
in excess of 2 years.
For example if you suffer a partial disability which results in your
income decreasing from $4,000 to $1,000 per month and your
monthly benefit is $3,000, the Insurer will calculate the partial
disability benefit to which you may be entitled as follows:
Total disability means that because of sickness or injury, you are:
Rehabilitation Expense Benefit
A rehabilitation expense benefit is payable if you are disabled
and you participate in a rehabilitation or vocational retraining
program (that is approved by the Insurer before the expenses are
incurred). The benefit the Insurer will pay reimburses the cost of
the approved rehabilitation program (subject to a maximum of 24
times your monthly benefit). Approved rehabilitation programs
exclude programs providing hospital treatment or ancillary health
benefits (as defined in the National Health Act 1953) as those
laws prevent the Insurer paying a benefit for these programs.
•• unable to perform one or more of the income producing
duties (as defined in the Policy) of your own occupation
•• under the regular care of, and following the advice of, a
registered medical practitioner satisfactory to the Insurer, and
•• not working in any occupation, whether or not for reward.
The total disability benefit the Insurer will pay is the
monthly benefit.
To illustrate, if you become entitled to the total disability benefit
and you have the following cover:
Monthly benefit:$3,000
Waiting period:
14
90 days
$3,000 – ($1,000 ÷ $4,000 x $3,000)
Partial disability benefit
= $3,000 – $750
= $2,250 per month.
For example, if you undergo an approved rehabilitation program
costing $20,000, and you have the following cover:
Monthly benefit: $3,000
Waiting period: 90 days
What is a benefit period?
Insurance benefits are payable after the completion of the waiting
period, while you continue to be disabled. The benefit will cease if
the following occurs:
A maximum rehabilitation benefit of $72,000 (24 x $3,000)
will be paid.
•• you are no longer disabled
The maximum payment period cannot exceed the
benefit period.
•• you turn age 65, or
This benefit is paid in addition to the disability benefit.
•• the benefit payment period ends
•• if you die.
You have the choice of a benefit period of 2 years, or to age 65.
Recurrent Disability Benefit
This means that you won’t have to go through the waiting period
again if you become disabled again from the same, or a related,
cause within six months of the end of payment of a disability
benefit. The recurrence of your disability will be treated as a
continuation of the original claim.
Are there any limitations and
exclusions applicable to the
income protection insurance?
Can the benefit be indexed?
You need to be aware of the following limitations and exclusions,
which may affect the cover provided by this income protection
insurance policy.
If the Insurer is paying a disability benefit and the benefit
payment period exceeds 2 years, at the end of every consecutive
12 month period, the Insurer will increase your monthly benefit
by the percentage increase of the CPI (Weighted Average of 8
Cities Combined Index) up to a maximum of 7.5%. The indexation
of benefit payments is designed to help offset the impact of
inflation. Further information about CPI is located on page 9.
Will I pay premiums while in receipt
of an income protection benefit?
You are not required to pay any premiums which fall due while
a total or partial disability benefit is being paid to you. You must
continue to pay premiums throughout the waiting period.
The Insurer will only pay benefits for one disability at a time.
A benefit will not be paid if a sickness or injury is directly
or indirectly caused by:
•• intentional self-inflicted injury or infection, whether or not you
are sane at the time
•• your service in the armed forces of any country
•• war, or
•• normal and uncomplicated pregnancy or childbirth including
multiple pregnancy, caesarean birth, threatened miscarriage,
participation in in-vitro fertilisation or other medically assisted
fertilisation techniques and normal discomforts of pregnancy
(such as morning sickness, backache, varicose veins, ankle
swelling and bladder problems).
What is the waiting period?
The waiting period is the continuous period of time you have
to be totally or partially disabled before you can qualify for any
monthly benefit.
LifeProtect offers a choice of waiting periods: 30, 60 or 90 days.
You will be charged a different premium depending on the
waiting period you choose.
The waiting period starts from the day a registered medical
practitioner examines you and certifies that you are disabled.
To request a change to your nominated waiting period,
you must first notify the Trustee of the superannuation service
or the Insurer through your financial adviser. If your request is
to reduce your waiting period, for example from 90 days to 30
days, the Insurer will request evidence of your health. The Insurer
may apply an exclusion or other special terms as a condition of
accepting your request. Any change in your waiting period will
be effective from the date you are advised of the
Insurer’s acceptance.
The change to your premium will occur at the end of the month
following your request to vary your waiting period.
15
Income protection insurance
Will the benefit payable be offset?
What continuation options are available?
Your monthly benefit will be reduced if you receive other
disability payments during the same period from:
If you elect to leave your superannuation service, you have the
option within 60 days of closing your superannuation account
to apply for an individual disability income policy without having
to produce evidence of health to the Insurer.
1. any income (other than insurance benefits received under
LifeProtect) or commutation of income, paid as a result of
your sickness or injury, including:
•• any sick leave entitlements
•• any amounts payable under legislation, such as worker’s
compensation or motor accident compensation
•• any insurance benefits payable under any other insurance
policy that provides income benefits upon disability
2. any applicable social security payments
3. any income earned by personal exertion while disabled,
but excluding any income earned from your employer
4. any income which, in the Insurer’s opinion, you could
reasonably be expected to earn in your occupation while
disabled excluding any income actually earned from
your employer.
Any income described in paragraph 1, 2 or 3 which is in the
form of a lump sum or is exchanged for a lump sum will have
a monthly equivilent of 1/60th of the lump sum over a period
of 60 months
In what circumstances will cover cease?
Your cover will cease automatically in the event of one of the
following occurring:
•• your death, or the date that a terminal illness or TPD benefit
becomes payable for the member under the policy
•• you reach age 65
•• the end of the month prior to you advising you want to cancel
cover (but you will continue to be covered under the extended
cover provisions for 60 days, see page 7)
•• 2 months after you have insufficient funds in your
superannuation account to pay your insurance premiums
•• if you commence active duty in any armed forces, other than
the Australian Armed Forces Reserves, or
•• the date the income protection policy terminates.
16
The following conditions apply:
•• you must be less than 60 years of age at the time your cover
ends under the policy
•• you were employed on a permanent basis and for at least
the minimum hours when your cover ended under the policy
•• when your cover ended under the policy, no benefit was,
or was about to be, payable under the policy and no
circumstances existed which, if the subject of a claim under
the policy, would have resulted in a benefit being payable for
you under the policy
•• the premium payable for you was not overdue when your
cover ended under the policy
•• any exclusions or special conditions applicable to you will
apply to the individual disability income policy issued by
the Insurer
•• the Insurer receives both the request for cover under the new
individual policy and the correct premium for that cover within
60 days of your cover ending
•• you do not join any armed forces (other than the Australian
Armed Forces Reserve) before the date the individual policy
is issued
•• the individual disability income policy will be an indemnity
value policy (which means that you will receive a benefit based
on your income at the time you are disabled, even if it has
decreased since you took the policy out) owned by yourself,
and will be based on the Insurer’s retail product at the time
you leave the superannuation service
•• the monthly benefit, waiting period, and benefit period
under the individual disability income policy will be limited
to the amount provided to you under the policy
•• the Policies held with your superannuation service must
be still in-force, and
•• the Insurer’s minimum policy issue requirements are met.
Once you have exercised a continuation option, you will not be
eligible for any future cover under the policy unless the Insurer
agrees in writing.
What if I take a period
of leave without pay?
Cover will continue while you are on leave without pay from your
employer, but your pre-disability income will be affected.
To illustrate, if you become entitled to the total disability benefit
while you have been on leave without pay for 8 months and you
have the following cover:
Monthly benefit:$3,000
Waiting period:
90 days
We will calculate your pre-disability income [(8 x $0) +
(4 x $3,000)] = $12,000. This means your monthly benefit
will be $12,000 ÷ 12 = $1,000, which you will receive until the
benefit ends.
What will occur if my
claim is successful?
For income protection if you are successful in making a claim,
the insurance benefits start the day after the waiting period has
ended. Benefit payments are payable monthly in arrears and are
calculated for the part of the month they are payable.
All initial certificates and evidence (including any medical
evidence) required by the Insurer for the claim will be provided
at your expense.
Insurance benefits will be paid to you as an income payment.
The Trustee will provide you with a group certificate, which you
will need to include as income on your personal tax return.
