When things change in your life

Employer-sponsored members can have additional insurance to help get the right level of cover when a life-changing event occurs. 

A Life Event includes:

  • Marriage; involvement in an interdependent relationship (for two years or more);
  • Birth or adoption of a child;
  • Your child starting secondary school; and
  • Taking out a mortgage of more than $100,000 on your principal place of residence or increase your mortgage on your principal place of residence by more than $100,000 (excludes redraw and refinancing).

Life Events Cover allows you to apply for an additional one unit of cover without providing medical evidence, if you experience a Life Event (or 25% of your existing Fixed Cover, if you hold Fixed Cover, subject to a maximum increase of $200,000). 

This offer is available to members up to 54 years of age, within 180 days of the Life Event. To qualify for this increase in cover, you must complete to the satisfaction of the insurer and sign and date the 'Life Events Application Form' (below) including the Eligibility Conditions, Screening Questions and Life Event - Required Documents with your application. Your application is subject to acceptance by the insurer (Zurich Australia Limited).
