Default cover in Super

Default life insurance in Super isn't Super.

Default life insurance in Super actually has its limitations. Life insurance held outside Super can be more flexible and, depending on your age, health and cover, may cost less.

Here are 8 of the 20 reasons why:

1 / 9

Insurance is only as good as its claim conditions. Super cover helps many people as a starting point. These are the gaps to check before you rely on it.

Myth busting

Myths about life insurance

Myth

"Life insurance is too expensive."

Fact

Premiums depend on your age, health and cover. A well-structured policy can stay affordable for the long term.

Myth

"My Super cover is enough."

Fact

Default Super cover is basic. The amount and the conditions are worth checking.

Myth

"A health condition means no cover."

Fact

Many people with pre-existing conditions can still get cover, sometimes on adjusted terms. It pays to ask.

Myth

"All policies are the same."

Fact

Definitions, exclusions and claim conditions vary widely between policies.

The importance of life insurance

Life insurance gives your family a lump sum when they need it most. It can help clear the mortgage, cover everyday costs and keep life steady while they find their feet.

Super

Why default cover is rarely enough

Read more

Default cover is automatic and easy to get, but it's designed to keep premiums low, not coverage strong. Amounts are often too small for a mortgage, definitions are tighter, and cover can stop at certain ages or when your balance runs low.

Premiums

Variable (level) or variable age (stepped): which is the better structure?

Read more

Variable age (stepped) premiums start lower and rise as you get older. Variable (level) premiums start higher and stay steadier as you age, though insurers can still review rates. The right choice depends on how long you plan to hold the cover and what you can sustain in retirement.

TPD

TPD: own occupation or any occupation?

Read more

Own occupation TPD can pay if you cannot return to your own job. Any occupation TPD pays only if you cannot do any work you are suited to by education, training or experience. The definition can change the outcome of a claim.

Income

What is income protection?

Read more

Income protection replaces part of your income if illness or injury stops you working. It is paid regularly after a waiting period, for up to a set benefit period. Those definitions and periods all affect what you receive.

Health

Can I get cover with a pre-existing condition?

Read more

Many people with a pre-existing condition can still get cover. Insurers assess each case on its own, and terms can be adjusted, for example with a loading or an exclusion. Assessing health up front gives more certainty about what will be paid.
