Who can apply for the Life Insurance Plan?

All Australian residents aged 18 to 65 next birthday can apply generally without a medical, and once accepted you are guaranteed cover right up to age 80 next birthday. All it takes is a phone call.

What am I covered for?

You're covered worldwide, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for any cause of death, except for suicide or intentional self-injury in the first 13 months.

What's the cooling off period?

You get 30 days to make sure you are 100% happy with the policy. If not, simply return it for a full refund - there's no risk to you! It is guaranteed.

How much does it cost?

Cover is available up to $1,000,000 per life insured.

Standard Monthly Premium Rates for $100,000 cover

After assessing your application, your premiums may increase depending on your health and lifestyle information.

Premiums increase each year with age and cover and continue to age 80 next birthday. Other ways they can also increase are explained below. Discounts apply for joint policies and cover amounts over $500,000.

If I cancel my policy, do I get anything back?

If you cancel within 30 days of your policy being issued you will get a refund of any premiums paid. The Life Insurance Plan is not a savings plan and has no residual cash value, so if you cancel after the first 30 days you will not get anything back.

How do I find out the premium that applies to me?

Just call InsuranceLine on 13 77 87. Answer a few simple questions over the phone to find out the premium that applies to you.

What happens if I stop paying my premiums?

The cover provided by the Life Insurance Plan will cease. We will inform you when your cover has ended.

Will my premiums ever increase?

The underlying premium rates are not guaranteed but once your cover has started you will never be singled out for a premium rate increase, and any increase will be applied to all policyholders, with 30 days written notice. Premiums increase as the life insured moves to the next age band or if you increase cover. Premiums increase each year to allow for the automatic adjustment for inflation (CPI or 5%, whichever is greater).

Can I get a discount?

Yes! There are a few instances when discounts apply.

	1.	A 25% discount can apply to cover amounts over $500,000.
	2.	Pay annually and receive one month free, and
	3.	Cover your partner as well and your premiums will be discounted even further.

This summary describes how the direct debit request system works. Upon issue of your policy, you will also receive a full copy of the Direct Debit Request Service Agreement. You should read the Agreement carefully as it explains your rights and obligations relating to your ongoing direct debits.

When you complete your bank details and sign the authority, you are authorising the direct debit of the appropriate premiums from your nominated account. Your authority will be kept confidential at all times.

If your premium cannot be paid (for example there's not enough money in your nominated account) your bank may dishonour that payment, in which case your policy may lapse and all cover cease.

If you have concerns about its operation or you subsequently need to change any aspects of the authority, please notify us.

From time to time updates about our services which are subject to change and which are not materially adverse to you may be found on the InsuranceLine website at www.insuranceline.com.au and if you request a paper copy of any updated information, this will be provided to you without charge.
