Get started with insurance in super

What’s insurance in super?

If you have super, you may also have some automatic insurance cover.

It’s called insurance in super and is exactly what it sounds like— insurance cover available through your super account.

Having the right insurance cover can help you and your loved ones when things don’t go to plan, and we offer different types of cover to suit your needs.

Insurance in super can be tax-effective and convenient. This is because the cost of your insurance cover, also known as premiums, are deducted from your super account—which means your take-home income won’t be impacted.
