Death can place financial strain on the family and the death cover benefit is paid out as a lump sum to help your loved ones cover funeral costs and ongoing living expenses. This cover also comes with Total and permanent disability (TPD). A permanent injury or illness can make it difficult and sometimes impossible to return work. In that situation, if you have TPD it can help provide a financial safety net to support you and your family, and pay for medical and rehabilitation costs. It is usually paid as a one-off, lump sum payment.
How do I get cover?
Generally, you will gain automatic Death & TPD cover when you join Vision Super Saver through part or full-time employment with a participating employer. However, there are rules around your employment, account balance and age. Automatic cover is subject to the terms and conditions of the insurance policy, between the Insurer and the Trustee.
Tailor your cover
Depending on your needs and circumstances you can customise your cover. You have the option to increase/decrease your cover, change It to fixed cover. This will let you maintain the same level of cover over time no matter your age. Please note that this will mean your premium will increase the older you get.
