You work hard to keep your family happy, healthy and secure. But what would happen to them if you were to unexpectedly die or become terminally ill?
Without the income you provide, your family could struggle to pay day-to-day living expenses such as rent or mortgage payments, school fees, utility bills, and even the basics like food and clothing. They might even be forced to sell the car or family home just to get by.
That's why life insurance is so important. It could help secure your family’s financial future, even if you're no longer around to help.
Have confidence by your side knowing that NRMA Life Insurance partner, TAL, paid out over $1.6 billion in claims in 2018.

Who can get cover?
Australian residents aged 18 to 65 can apply for NRMA Life Insurance.
Once accepted, your Life Insurance policy will continue, as long as you continue paying your premiums, until the renewal date following your 99th birthday. On that date, your policy will end.
What is and isn't covered?
If you pass away or become terminally ill with a life expectancy of less than 12 months, we could provide:
- A lump sum payment to your beneficiaries of up to $1.5 million
- A $10,000 advance payout as soon as we approve the claim, to assist with legal costs in finalising your estate
- Free phone-based trauma and loss counselling for your loved ones
- A dedicated Customer Care team to help with claims.
We cover you for any cause of death except suicide or intentional self-harm.
We'll clearly explain any exclusions that apply upfront and will agree to these with you before your policy starts.
For more details about your coverage, please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).
Can I change my cover amount?
Life is full of change. That’s why we’ve designed NRMA Life Insurance to give you maximum flexibility, making it easy to adjust your cover to suit your lifestyle.
As your family circumstances change and your wealth increases, it’s important to make sure that your Life Insurance continues to keep pace with your needs. For example, you may want to top up your cover when you:
- Buy a home
- Get married
- Have children.
Once your cover’s in place, you can adjust the amount any time before your 66th birthday. Simply call us on 132 825.
Are my premiums tax deductible?
Life Insurance premiums aren’t usually tax deductible and if you claim, your payout is generally tax-free. Please check with your accountant to ensure this applies to your own tax situation.
Is the life cover in my superannuation enough?
Most Australians have some form of Life Insurance through their superannuation.
The default level of cover is not based on your unique current and future obligations, so you may want to check if it's enough. You may also want to consider whether you're able to take your insurance with you if you leave your current employer.
