WHY SHOULD YOU THINK ABOUT INSURANCE COVER?
The right level of insurance cover can help you and your loved ones with unexpected costs during difficult times.
It is important to consider what types and level of insurance cover would be appropriate to help you and your family financially if illness or injury was to prevent you from working, or you were to pass away.
You should also think about whether you would be able to get the same types of cover outside the superannuation environment and how much insurance cover costs.
In most cases, you will not need to complete any medical questionnaires or examinations before you can get cover through your Australian Food Super membership.
If you need help understanding your options, contact the Member Hotline on 1800 808 614.
WHAT TYPE OF INSURANCE
COVER CAN YOU GET?
Three types of insurance cover are available through your Australian Food Super membership:
Life cover
A lump sum amount is paid to your beneficiaries when you die.
Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) cover
A lump sum benefit is paid if it is determined that you have been totally and permanently disabled and are unable to work in any occupation.
Income Protection (IP) cover
If you are injured or become sick and are unable to work in your current occupation, up to 75% of your income is paid for up to 2 years. It is important to note that IP payments may be reduced by other disability income you receive, e.g. workcover payments.
