easy and low-cost Insurance Because your health, family and earning potential are your most valuable assets, Media Super gives eligible new members a default level of Death and Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) and Income Protection cover when they join. With an insurance cost per week for less than the price of a coffee, it just makes sense. Our premiums are incredibly competitive, and we make it straightforward for you to increase and decrease your level of cover. A range of options to suit your needs At Media Super, we believe that having insurance is important. We also recognise that in many cases it can be expensive. Our members have the option to purchase insurance through their super account, where the premiums come directly out of your super rather than from your weekly budget. Our members also find that the overall cost is significantly less than if they were to purchase it themselves. This is because we purchase insurance cover on behalf of our members, so we get it at a much lower cost. Media Super offers eligible members three types of cover* 1. Death only Pays you a lump sum of up to $5 million if you are terminally ill**, or to your beneficiaries or estate if you die. 2. Death and Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD) Pays you a lump sum of up to $5 million for Death, and $2 million for TPD if you are terminally ill** or totally and permanently disabled, or to your beneficiaries or estate if you die. 3. Income Protection Replaces a percentage of your salary, including superannuation contributions, if you are unable to work due to illness, injury or disability. * Insurance cover is subject to eligibility and the terms and conditions of the policies between Media Super and the third party insurer. See the Insurance Guide for further details. ** The Terminal Illness benefit is the lesser of: the insured death benefit; and $2.5 million. Automatic cover Because we believe that insurance is important, we automatically provide you with a default level of Death & TPD insurance when you join Media Super, providing you meet our eligibility criteria.
