Optional Severity-Based Illness Cover

Everybody’s family is unique—and your life insurance should reflect this. Our Your Way policy lets you choose the features and benefits that matter to you.


This cover provides a lump sum payment that draws down on your main life insurance cover, to assist with medical and out-of-pocket expenses while you’re recovering from certain illnesses or injuries. Later, your family can access your remaining life insurance cover in the event of your passing. It can help you in life and your family in death.


How does it work?

Once you’ve completed our Life Insurance application form, if eligible, you can choose up to 100% of your life insurance cover to a maximum of $250,000 across the following: Major Illness and Cancer Cover. Your medical history will be required for Major Illness and Cancer Cover.


When you add optional Major Illness Cover or Cancer Cover we keep your premiums down by linking your covers. This means you have one main Life Insurance cover amount. If you need to claim on any of the optional benefits, the payment is “drawn down” from this main cover amount. This way, you don’t have to buy separate policies, or pay the higher costs that can sometimes result from doing so.

The information provided on this website is general advice only which means it does not take into account your individual needs, objectives or financial situation. For this reason, you should consider whether it is appropriate for you, and before you decide to buy or to continue to hold an insurance product, you must read the relevant Combined Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and the Financial Services Guide (FSG). The PDS/FSG contains important information which will help you understand the product, including what's covered and what's not covered and to decide whether it is appropriate for you. The Target Market Determination (TMD) for the relevant product, where applicable, is also available.

If you are considering cancelling a policy you already hold in order to replace it with a new policy, make sure you read the terms and conditions of both policies before you make a decision. The cover terms may be different, you may lose benefits accrued under your existing policy, and waiting periods may apply to the new policy. Changes in your personal circumstances (such as your age, health, and employment) that have occurred since your existing policy was originally taken out may also affect your new policy. As your application for a new policy may not be accepted, and some policies may be unable to be reinstated after they have been cancelled, you should consider waiting until your new policy is confirmed before you cancel any existing cover.
