Support if you’re dealing with severe illness

Talking through your options to help you stay insured.

How we can help you through this

Call us so we can talk about options. This may include reviewing your policy, benefits and payment options, and we may refer you to extra help.

Looking for financial support?

Having trouble paying an excess?

We may be able to provide some assistance. Call us or get in touch with your claims specialist to talk about options including:

  • Deducting your excess from your settlement
  • Extending your payment due dates
  • Applying for financial hardship.

Having trouble covering your premiums?

We may be able to provide some assistance. Call us to talk about options including:

  • Extending your payment due date
  • Changing how frequently you pay
  • Reviewing your optional benefits.

See what you’re eligible for

Have you spoken to your employer?

You may be entitled to sick or carer’s leave, depending on whether you or a family member is sick. Speak to your employer and read about your rights as an employee.

Concerned about the cost of travel to treatment?

If you live in a rural or remote area, you may be eligible to use your state or territory’s Patient Assisted Travel Schemes for help with travel costs.

Do you have a concession or health care card?

You may be eligible for government support if you or a loved one has a severe illness. If you have a concession or healthcare card, you may be able to get rebates or other benefits.

Are you covered by any life insurance?

You may be able to receive a portion of your income while you’re unable to work if you have income protection insurance.

If you’re not sure about your life insurance, see if you’re covered through your superannuation fund.
