    Disaster relief

    We’re here to help and support our customers who have been affected by the February/March 2022 flood crisis in NSW and QLD. To support those in need, we’re offering a Flood Assistance Package which provides a 3-month premium waiver period for eligible life insurance customers.

    Flood Assistance Package for our Life Insurance customers

    What assistance can I get?

    The Flood Assistance Package provides eligible customers with a 3-month premium waiver, effective from the next policy payment date (note: customers who pay premiums annually and half-yearly will receive a pro-rata waiver in future).


    Cover will con­tinue while pre­mi­ums are be­ing waived un­der this pack­age.

    Our claims team can provide additional support during this difficult time, with your new or ongoing claim by making advanced payments of your benefit and helping to gather any necessary claim requirements.

    Please note:

    You will need to provide evidence that you are receiving or have received government assistance for the February/March 2022 floods.  Please see the Terms and Conditions below for more information.


    How do I apply?

    To access the Flood Assistance Package, please contact your financial adviser or contact us directly by phoning 1300 553 764 from Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 6:00pm (AEST).
