A serious illness or condition can have significant impact on you and your loved ones, however Critical Illness Cover can help ease the burden.
With this cover in place, you’ll receive a lump sum payment if you suffer from one of the 47 conditions we cover, and it’s your choice how you use the money.
Some examples of how this money can help are:
Watch our short video to see how Critical Illness Cover can help reduce the financial impact and allow you to focus on what’s most important – your recovery.
Critical Illness Cover provides cover for a total of 47 critical illness conditions including cancer, heart attack or stroke, and will pay a lump sum if the life assured or a dependent child meets the defined criteria. The full list of covered conditions can be found in the policy wording.
With the Life Events Benefit, you can increase the Critical Illness sum insured when certain events happen in a life assured’s life.
If the life assured experiences a certain life event, you can apply to increase the Critical Illness Cover sum insured without assessment of their health.
Your premiums will increase from the date we’ve increased the sum insured.
We cover certain life events
You can increase the Critical Illness Cover sum insured for a life assured if they experience a significant event in their life such as, getting married or entering a civil union, having a child, buying a house or property investment.
You can increase the sum insured for each event. For a full list of eligible events, limits and T&C's, see policy wording
Claims that are a direct or indirect result of the following won't be paid:
Some conditions also aren't covered if signs or symptoms occur in the first 90 days of your application being submitted.
We can't pay any benefit if the life assured, or a child that is covered, doesn't survive for at least 14 days after first meeting the criteria for a covered condition.
