We've made 40+ upgrades to our policies.

This winter we introduced more than 40 upgrades to our policies to make sure they remain relevant for today’s medical and lifestyle trends.

The good news is that the upgrades apply to life assurance, trauma, total and permanent disability and income protection covers for most new and existing customers, so it’s worth checking with your adviser to see if you benefit¹.

The highlights

Heart attack

We’ve upgraded the wording of our heart attack definition to align it with the words you’d hear from a cardiologist. This means it’ll be easier to know if you’re covered.

Cancer

We’ve upgraded our cancer definition so it’s clear which cancers are covered, including extending the definition to include melanomas from 1mm in size. We’ve also made it easier to understand when and how you’ll be paid if you need to make a claim.

Trauma Multi

We’ve clarified our Trauma Multi wording so it’s clear you can make multiple claims for the same trauma condition where it’s unrelated to the original claim.

New Terminal Illness Partial Benefit

Some conditions are considered terminal, yet still have a life expectancy of greater than 12 months. So we’ve added a new Terminal Illness Partial Benefit to our life assurance cover which allows for a partial payment to help you enjoy a better quality of life than you might have otherwise expected.

These upgrades show that we’re committed to ensuring your policy continues to provide the insurance protection you and your family need, now and into the future.
