Yes, simply call us on 132 825 and we’ll help adjust your cover. When you call, we may ask some more information about your health and lifestyle.

Please note, if you increase your level of cover, your premiums may also go up.

Income Protection premiums are generally tax deductible. However, your claim payments are usually taxed as part of your personal income.

Please check with your accountant to ensure this applies to your own tax situation.

While some super funds offer Income Protection, many don’t. It’s important to check whether your super includes Income Protection and how much it offers, as some may not give you the level of cover you need.

With NRMA Income Protection, you’re in control. You choose your level of cover, and the waiting and payout period. You can even select optional extras for a little extra cover where you need it. If you have Income Protection through your super, check to see:

  • If you can choose how long you’d like to be paid for
  • How much cover it provides
  • How much time must pass before you get paid.

Translation services

For customers who don't speak English, we offer a free Translation and Interpretive (TIS) government service.

You can access this by calling TIS on 131 450. TIS will organise a translator for the language you need, then they'll call us. NRMA Income Protection covers the full cost of the translation service.

We can also arrange an appointment in advance with a phone interpreter. Please speak to your customer service representative or personal claims manager.
