Updated guidelines now available

As part of this release, we’ve also updated a number of our guidelines to make it even easier for you to do business with us.

The updates include:

  • Changes to support customers taking out Assurance Extra Business Monthly Disability Cover, including the ability to assess up to $6,000 monthly benefit without proof of financials. 
  • Increased Replacement Ratios are now available for customers taking out Assurance Extra Income Protection Cover – Indemnity.
  • The maximum level of Complete Disablement Cover for dependents aged 16-18 has been increased from $250,000 to $500,000. 
  • The maximum level of Trauma Cover for homemakers has also been increased from $500,000 to $1,000,000. 
  • Finally, as announced last month, we’ve made a number of improvements to our non-medical limits and changes to medical codes – these include reducing the number of medical code categories and removing several mandatory testing requirements.
