  • How are my fees calculated?

    The cost of insurance is made up of two elements:

    1. A flat fee of $1.50 per month (retained by the fund to cover the cost of providing insurance to members) and 
    2. A monthly premium payable to the Insurer. The monthly premium is based on the type of cover, number of units and your age.

Automatic Cancellation of insurance

In accordance with the Protecting Your Super legislation any insurance cover you have will be cancelled if we have not received any contributions and/or rollovers to your super account for a continuous period of 16 months and you have not elected to maintain your insurance cover.

Where this occurs the cost of all insurance cover will stop being deducted from your super account balance.

The cancellation of insurance cover is aimed at reducing the erosion of super account balances by insurance premiums for unwanted cover. If you wish to elect to maintain your insurance cover, call the Customer Care team on 1300 652 770 to request the relevant form.
