Our claims process

Your super benefit could be made up of both super savings and any insurance cover you may have.

So, whether you're claiming due to illness, injury, retirement, financial hardship, or the loss of a loved one, we’re here to guide you through the process step by step. We’re here for you when you need it the most.

The time it takes to assess your claim depends on factors such as how quickly we are able to receive the documents we need to make a decision and the type of claim you are making.

  • Contact us to let us know about your situation and begin the claim process.

     

  • We review your super and insurance details to confirm you’re covered for the type of claim you’re making. We’ll also let you know the information we need to commence your claim assessment.

     

  • Once we have all the necessary information, we submit your claim to the insurer for assessment.

     

  • The insurer reviews your application, supporting documents, and any required medical or financial evidence.

     

  • We check that the insurer’s decision is fair and consistent with your policy and the information provided.

     

  • We explain the decision to you and, if your claim is approved, arrange payment as quickly as possible.

    For more detailed information about what’s involved at each stage, and what documents you may need to provide, see the Claims Guides.

     

Resources & tools

  • We understand that dealing with a death claim can be emotionally and financially overwhelming—especially during times of distress or hardship.
    If you’re experiencing vulnerability, you can reach out on (1300 55 7586) to speak with us for help with guiding you through the claim process.

    Vulnerability factors could include:

    • grief or emotional stress
    • financial difficulty
    • illness or disability
    • family or domestic violence
  • Even if you don't have insurance as part of your super account, you can access your super benefit in some limited circumstances.

    These include:

    • Incapacity - if you're unable to work or need to work fewer hours because of a medical condition.
    • Severe financial hardship - if you can't meet your living expenses and have been receiving Centrelink benefits for 26 weeks.
    • Compassionate grounds - to pay for unpaid expenses. These could include medical treatments, modifying your home or vehicle because of severe disability, funeral expenses or a loan repayment to prevent you from losing your home.
    • Terminal medical condition - if you have a terminal illness or injury.
    • Death – your super can be paid to your beneficiaries or estate.
