We’ve made some positive changes to the insurance cover within your Active Super account, making it easier to increase cover when things change in your life, and we’ve also improved definitions in our Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) cover.

When you join Active Super, you’re automatically provided with default Death and TPD cover when you meet certain eligibility criteria (if you’re over 25 years of age and have at least $6,000 in your super account). This is known as Basic cover. Generally speaking, if you want to increase your insurance cover with Active Super you need to apply for Voluntary Insurance cover and go through an application process known as underwriting. This involves completing forms about your health and other lifestyle factors, and in some cases may also involve a medical checkup.

When your life changes significantly, your insurance needs may change too. The good news is that from 1 November 2022, if you experience a certain ‘life event’, you can apply for additional cover without underwriting.

Active Super is committed to delivering value for money to our members. Last year, we let you know that we reduced our administration fees for the second year running, and we also removed switching fees. Now, to improve transparency, we’re changing the way we disclose our admin fee. Based on our modelling, we don’t expect your admin fee to materially change. Plus, we’re removing two fees altogether.
