Death and Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD) Insurance Cover
Each members needs are different. The correct level of insurance will depend on many personal issues including but not limited to financial circumstances and family situation. Auswide recommends that members consult a licensed Financial Planner to ascertain the insurance that best meets their needs.
Insurance premium rates available in Auswide are very competitive and are not normally available to individuals. Individual premium rates applicable to various occupations and circumstances can be obtained from your Financial Advisor or Auswide Member Services by telephoning 1300 88 56 65. Premiums for insurance are automatically deducted from a member's account balance on a monthly basis and are based on age, occupation, sex, smoker status and the amount of cover selected as well as health and pastimes.
If a member leaves the Fund, their Death and TPD cover may continue if they advise Auswide of their wish to continue cover within 60 days of leaving. This will also be subject to the Insurer's conditions.
Insurance cover (once granted) continues until the insured member either:
- has insufficient funds in their account to pay the premiums
- provides a written request for cover to be cancelled
- turns 70
- leaves the Fund
- commences duty with the armed forces of any country
- is paid a death or disablement benefit.
The Insurer for Auswide is MetLife Insurance Limited (ABN 75 004 274 882).
