Death and total and permanent disablement insurance
Accountants Super offers insurance against death and total and permanent disablement at highly competitive insurance premium rates. The amount of cover is determined by the number of units purchased by the member and the value of each unit of insurance is determined by the age of the member.
The premium for death and total and permanent disablement insurance is:
- $1.00 per unit of cover per week for members who spend 90% of their working hours in an office environment and do not undertake manual labour; or
- $1.93 per unit of insurance per week for all other members.
Members may apply to purchase insurance cover to a maximum insured benefit of $3 million subject to the completion of appropriate medical and financial evidence (where appropriate) and acceptance of cover by the Insurer.
