HOW MUCH COVER DO I NEED? (continued)
How much cover do I need?

Working out how much insurance is right for you can be a difficult task. The amount of insurance you need will depend on a combination
of things such as your liabilities, assets, ongoing expenses and your expected standard of living. Once you have read through this guide for
details on the insurance we offer you can work through the following steps to work out how much insurance is right for you.
Step 1
How much money will I need?
Generally, you should have enough money to pay all large debts
and cover daily living expenses for yourself and your family for a
certain period of time. As a starting point, list the current financial
commitments you have. Keep in mind your insurance needs will change
as your life changes.
Step 2
How much money do I have?
Consider your existing sources of income (other than your salary) and
savings.
Step 3
Use our Insurance needs calculator to work out your
needs
Use this calculator to work out how much Death, Total and
Permanent Disability (TPD) and Income Protection cover you may
need. The calculator is available at sunsuper.com.au/calculators
Step 4
How much insurance do I need?
You may find your needs are greater than your savings. This is where
insurance comes in. It can be used to meet the shortfall between your
needs and your existing savings. Keep in mind that different types of
cover may be paid as a lump sum or ongoing benefit payments.
Step 5
Do you need some help?
Call 13 11 84 to speak to one of our phone based qualified financial
planners1
Am I eligible for
insurance cover?
It is very important to check
your eligibility for cover. If
you are not eligible for Death
and Total and Permanent
Disability (TPD) Assist, or Opt
In IP cover you can apply for
Tailored cover at any time.
It is important to understand that using your superannuation account now for the payment of insurance premiums before retirement
will impact upon your future balance when you do retire.

DEATH AND TPD COVER (continued)
What is TPD Assist cover?
At Sunsuper we recognise the importance of supporting
members who are sick or injured and, where appropriate,
providing assistance in enabling them to return to work where
they are able to. Sunsuper’s TPD Assist cover is here to help
minimise the impacts of long term injury or sickness that leaves
you unable to ever work again.
The road to recovery can be a difficult path both financially and
emotionally. As your ability to earn a living is the cornerstone
to your standard of living it’s important to regain your capability
to earn a living and where a permanent disablement prevents,
having a safety net in place.
The term ‘totally and permanently disabled’ generally means that
you will be unable to ever work again in your own or any other
occupation for which you are suited by training, education or
experience. If your TPD claim is approved, you are usually able to
withdraw your superannuation account balance and any insured
benefit, allowing you and your dependants to pay debts or bills,
provide an ongoing income or fund your special medical needs.
Sunsuper’s TPD Assist cover provides several unique features to
assist;
• no waiting period – with TPD Assist cover there is no waiting
period, with the exception of Part C of the definition relating
to Activities and Part A relating to Cognitive Function. If
you’re employed, assistance within the first three months of
your injury or sickness is essential in successful occupational
rehabilitation. Not having a waiting period also avoids any
delays where a specified Medical Condition or loss of limb has
occurred,
• rehabilitation and retraining – provides occupational
rehabilitation support and guidance where deemed appropriate,
and may be a compulsory part of the claims process. Our
occupational rehabilitation consultants will collaboratively work
with you, your treating health professionals, rehabilitation
provider and employer to assist you in returning to work,
• annual support payments or lump sum payment – if you are
assessed as TPD your insured cover may be paid as annual
support payments as long as you continue to meet the TPD
Assist definition. If you are diagnosed with a specific long term
debilitating injury or sickness (specified Medical Conditions)
with no chance of recovery, suffer loss of limbs or loss of
Cognitive Function or are unable to undertake specified
Activities, your insured cover may be paid as a single lump sum
payment following the initial assessment,
• no premium required – while on a TPD Assist claim you
don’t have to worry about paying your Death and TPD Assist
premiums.
The definition of TPD Assist you will be assessed against in the
event of a claim is linked to your employment status immediately
prior to the Date of Disablement.
In limited circumstances you will not be eligible to claim on the
Death and TPD Assist insurance cover through Sunsuper. See
4 Am I eligible for insurance cover? and 10 Definitions for the
Employed (TPD) definition.
16
What happens if you believe you are
totally and permanently disabled?
If you believe that you may be eligible to apply for a TPD Assist
claim, we are here to help you along the way.
In order to lodge a claim you would need to be under the care
of a Medical Practitioner and suffering from an ongoing and
serious injury or sickness that is permanently preventing you
from working or from performing specified Activities. See 10
Definitions for the TPD Assist definition.
Our Claims Representatives are here to help you every step
of the way and will confirm your eligibility to lodge a claim.
Following lodgement of your claim application, the insurer
will assess whether your claim is successful and whether
occupational rehabilitation services would assist you in a
successful return to work.
An effective rehabilitation plan relies on the coordination of all parties. An example is below,
External Rehabilitation

Eligibility to claim
If you become totally and permanently disabled you will only be
eligible to make a TPD claim if you notify Sunsuper of your TPD
Assist claim within five years from your Date of Disablement.
Warning: If you notify Sunsuper of your TPD Assist claim
outside this period you will be ineligible for an insurance benefit
payment under TPD Assist.

Early Intervention and occupational
rehabilitation
Your chances of a swift recovery and making a successful return
to work are significantly improved if you have access to effective
rehabilitation and support services. The sooner you are able to
seek assistance from a health professional the higher the chance
of a successful outcome.
The approach we take will be dependent on your injury
or sickness and whether rehabilitation is appropriate. For
complex illnesses such as Depression, Anxiety, Back Pain and
Musculoskeletal injuries early assistance can prove invaluable.
Early assistance for certain illnesses such as Stroke or Cancer
may not be appropriate.
Where deemed appropriate, we will engage with our insurer who
will help determine what, if any, occupational rehabilitation and
retraining services will assist. Occupational rehabilitation may be
a compulsory part of the claims process (where you are assessed
against Part B of the TPD Assist definition).
If you require assistance please call Sunsuper on 13 11 84 to discuss your rehabilitation options.
What does Occupational Rehabilitation
involve?
We understand that navigating the health system can be a
daunting task, especially in times of emotional and physical
stress. Though legislation does not allow us to pay for medical
consultations and treatment we can provide invaluable
assistance in other ways.
By working closely with you, your treating health professional
and your employer we will be able to design a rehabilitation
program that is individually tailored to you and your needs. The
approach is to work in partnership to help with your recovery and
assist you in returning to work capability
Some of the services available to you may include:
• coordination of support services with your health professional,
rehabilitation provider and employer,
• arranging an initial assessment with your health professional
who can identify your support needs,
• providing guidance to your treating doctor on a treatment plan,
• engagement of a rehabilitation provider,
• development and implementation of a return to work plan,
including re-skilling and retraining and functional upgrading,
• providing guidance and work related counselling and support
where secondary conditions such as mental health manifest,
and
• job seeking advice and career guidance.
What benefits are paid out if
rehabilitation is unsuccessful or not
appropriate for you?
You may receive up to six annual support payments (each equal
to one sixth of your TPD Assist cover amount) over a minimum of
five years. To continue to receive payments over the period, you
must continue to meet the definition of TPD and participate in
any occupational rehabilitation program designed for you. Annual
support payments will be paid as close as possible to 12 months
apart, but actual payment dates will depend on the circumstances
of each claim.
You may also be able to access your Sunsuper for life account
balance due to Permanent Incapacity.
It’s important to note that Death cover will reduce by the amount
of the annual support payments paid. Any Death cover in excess
of the TPD Assist cover will still continue.

Payment of annual support payments
If you are eligible to receive a TPD benefit, the insurer may pay
the annual support payment (less any applicable tax) to your
Super-savings account where it will be invested in the Cash Pool.
We will than contact you for payment instructions. Should we not
receive payment instructions within 30 days, the payment will
be invested as per your current investment strategy.
Annual assessment process
Should your injury or sickness continuously prevent you from
working ever again, an annual assessment will be undertaken.
Your claim will be reassessed as close as possible to 12 months
after your prior assessment. If you are assessed as still being
totally and permanently disabled an annual support payments
will be paid.
Where deemed appropriate, our insurer will help determine what
if any ongoing rehabilitation and retraining services will assist.
What happens in the event of a loss of
limbs, sight or Cognitive Function?
If you suffer the loss of limbs, your sight or cognitive function
you may be paid a single lump sum benefit equal to the TPD
Assist cover amount at the Date of Disablement.
See
10

Where you have previously received annual support payment\s,
you may not be able to receive any more payments if:
• you no longer satisfy the definition of TPD Assist as assessed
by the insurer,
• the date the TPD Assist cover reduces to nil, following payment
of the full TPD Assist benefit,
• your death, or
• you are paid a Terminal Illness benefit.
payments being made, if you make, and are accepted for another
claim arising from the same or related cause as the prior TPD
Assist claim, the further claim will be:
a) deemed to be a continuation of the original claim if made
within 12 months from the date you ceased to satisfy
the TPD Assist definition. annual support payments will
continue unaltered, or
b)
treated as a separate claim if it occurred more than 12
months after ceasing to satisfy the TPD Assist definition.
The annual support payments will be adjusted to the cover
level at the new Date of Disablement and will be paid out as
up to six annual support payments over a minimum of a five
year period.
If you make a claim arising from an unrelated cause as the prior
TPD Assist claim, the second claim will be treated as a separate
claim. The annual support payments will be adjusted to the cover
level at the new Date of Disablement and will be paid out as up
to six annual support payments over a minimum of a five year
period.
You are entitled to claim TPD Assist benefits up to a maximum of
two separate claims.
No premium required
While on a TPD Assist claim you don’t have to worry about paying
your premiums for Death and TPD Assist. Following a claim ceasing the cost of any remaining cover will be calculated weekly and
normally deducted from your Super-savings account each month.

Example of the annual support payment process:
Example of a member being capable of returning to work
Tom was 40 when he was deemed totally and permanently disabled. Tom received default Death and TPD Assist cover when he joined
Sunsuper, and didn’t make any changes to this cover. As at the Date of Disablement he has Death and TPD Assist cover of $186,000.
Following acceptance of the TPD Assist claim by the insurer he receives his initial annual support payment of $31,000 (each equal to
one sixth of Tom’s TPD Assist cover amount). Rehabilitation was unsuccessful and Tom continues to meet the TPD Assist definition at
each New Assessment Date.
Following acceptance of the TPD Assist claim by the insurer, Tom receives his initial annual support payment of $31,000 (each equal to
one sixth of Tom’s TPD Assist cover amount). Tom’s initial rehabilitation was unsuccessful and Tom continued to meet the TPD Assist
definition at the first two annual assessment dates. In year three Tom was successfully capable of returning to work and returned to
active employment.

Tailor your insurance cover to meet your individual circumstances with
Sunsuper’s Tailored Death and TPD cover.
Tailored Death cover
If you die, your dependants or beneficiaries
may receive a lump sum. This includes Terminal
Illness.
Types of cover available
• Tailored Death only (this includes Terminal Illness),
• Tailored Death and TPD,
• Tailored TPD only
How much can I apply for?
You can apply for either Tailored Death only cover or Tailored TPD
only cover or Tailored Death and TPD cover up to the following
maximum cover levels:
• Death cover - Unlimited
• Terminal Illness - $5 million (this forms part of the Death cover)
• TPD cover - $3 million
Any application for insurance cover is subject to acceptance by the
insurer. Satisfactory evidence of health may be required. Sunsuper
reserves the right to limit the amount of cover provided.
Tailored Total and Permanent
Disability (TPD)
If you are permanently disabled, you may
receive a lump sum benefit.
Eligibility to claim
Interim Accident cover
If you become totally and permanently disabled you will only be
eligible to make a TPD claim if you notify Sunsuper of your Tailored
TPD claim within 5 years from your Date of Disablement. Warning:
If you notify Sunsuper of your Tailored TPD claim outside this
period you will be ineligible for an insurance benefit payment under
Tailored TPD.
Up to 90 days interim Accidental Death and/or Accidental TPD
cover will apply immediately from the date we receive your
completed Tailored Insurance cover application form. See 10
Definitions for the definition of Accident.
What benefits are paid out if you are
No premium is charged for the interim Accident cover. The interim
cover ends on the earlier of acceptance, deferral or rejection of
your application for Tailored cover or 90 days from receipt of your
application.
If you are totally and permanently disabled, and meet the
Tailored TPD definition, your Tailored TPD cover as at the Date of
Disablement will be payable. You may also be able to access your
Sunsuper for life account balance.
The amount of interim Accident cover is the lesser of the amount
of Tailored cover you are applying for and $2 million. No interim
Accident cover will be paid if during the interim period, death or
disability is caused directly or indirectly by engaging in any sport or
pastime that the Insurer would not normally cover at standard rates
or any other exclusions under the policy.
Payment of any Tailored TPD benefit will reduce the Death cover
by the amount paid as a TPD benefit.
What are the Occupational Categories?
Tailored Death and TPD insurance cover through Sunsuper. See
4 Am I eligible for insurance cover? And 10 Definitions for the
Employed (TPD) definition.
Within 12 months of the start date of your Tailored TPD cover
you will not be eligible to claim where your total and permanent
disablement results from attempted suicide or from an intentional
self-inflicted injury.
When you apply for Tailored Death and TPD cover the Insurer will
determine your Occupational category based on your occupation
at the time. When calculating your insurance premium for Tailored
cover, an occupational loading will be applied based on your
occupational category. Refer to 10 Definitions which briefly
describes how Occupational Categories are determined. Please note
that Tailored cover may not be available for high-risk occupations.
What is Tailored Total and Permanent
Disablement (TPD) cover?
Sunsuper’s Tailored TPD cover is here to help minimise
the impacts of severe injury or sickness that leaves you
occupationally or physically disabled.
Tailored TPD cover pays you a lump sum in the event that you
become totally and permanently disabled. The term ‘totally
and permanently disabled’ means that due to injury or sickness
you will be unable to ever work again in your own or any other
occupation for which you are suited by training, education or
experience. If your TPD claim is approved, you are usually able
to withdraw your superannuation account balance and any
insured benefit, allowing you and your dependants to pay debts
or bills, provide an ongoing income or fund your special medical
needs.
What happens if you believe you are
If you believe that you may be eligible to apply for a Tailored TPD
claim, we are here to help you along the way.
In order to lodge a claim you would need to be under the care of
a Medical Practitioner and suffering from an ongoing and serious
injury or sickness that is permanently preventing you from working
or from performing specified Activities. See 10 Definitions for the
Tailored TPD definition.
Our Claims Representatives are here to help you every step of the
way and will confirm your eligibility to lodge a claim. Following
lodgement of your claim application, the Insurer will assess
whether your claim is successful.

How is the premium calculated?
If Tailored cover is approved and you already have Death and TPD
Assist cover, the premium for your Death and TPD Assist insurance
cover no longer applies. All of your cover will convert to a premium
based on your occupational classification. This means you will pay
a different premium to the premium you previously paid for the
same amount of existing cover because of your occupation.
The factors that determine the cost you will pay for your Tailored
insurance cover are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
the type of cover,
the amount and basis of cover,
your occupation (see page 60),
your health (see page 27),
your age, and
your gender.
Premium table 4 shows the premiums for Tailored Death and
TPD cover and the Occupational Categories as determined by the
insurer. In calculating your premium, the premium is applicable to all
your Death and TPD (or Death only or TPD only) cover and assumes
you are in good health. Premiums are calculated weekly and
normally deducted from your Super-savings account balance each
month. To ensure you have sufficient money in your Super-savings
account to pay premiums and to ensure your insurance cover does
not lapse, you should keep a minimum Super-savings account
balance of $1,500 at all times.
Amount and basis for insurance cover
Section 3 How much cover do I need? can help you work out the
amount of insurance cover you need or you can call 13 11 84 to
speak to one of our phone based qualified financial planners.
Once you have decided on the amount of cover that best suits your
circumstances and needs, you then need to determine the basis on
which you want this insurance cover. For Tailored Death and TPD
cover you can choose either a:
• Fixed Cover basis, or
• Fixed Premium basis.
A Fixed Cover basis means your amount of insurance cover stays
the same, but your weekly premium will generally increase as you
get older. Using the previous example, Jayne’s cover will remain
$1,000,000 and her weekly premium will generally increase each
year on her birthday.
A Fixed Premium basis means your weekly premium stays the
same, but your insurance cover will generally decrease as you get
older. Jayne’s premium would remain $7.31 a week but the amount
she is covered for will generally decrease each year.
If you don’t make a choice, your cover will be provided on a Fixed
Cover basis.
An example of how to calculate Tailored Death
and TPD premiums:
Jayne decides she needs cover of $1,000,000 and
applies for Tailored Death and TPD cover. She is in
good health and is a technical writer. The insurer
accepts her application for cover based on the
occupational category of White.
Tailored TPD cover reduction on Fixed
Cover basis
Can your health affect your insurance
cover?
With cover provided on a Fixed Cover basis, the amount of your
Tailored TPD cover will reduce by 10% each year from age 61. Your
premiums are adjusted accordingly. An example is shown below. If
you have $200,000 of fixed TPD cover, your Tailored TPD cover will
reduce as follows:
When the insurer assesses your application for Tailored insurance
cover, they may ask for further details in relation to the information
you disclose in your Tailored insurance cover application.
To calculate Jayne’s weekly premium on cover of
$1,000,000 you need to:
Age last birthday
TPD cover
60
200,000
1.Use the Tailored Death and TPD cover Premium table 4 to
find the premium applicable for the type of cover, age and
gender.
2.Use the Occupational rating categories table on page 48 to
find the occupational rating categories.
3.Calculate the Death premium:
[Death premium rate x (Death cover / 1000) x Death
occupational rating] / 52
4.Calculate the TPD premium:
[TPD premium rate x (TPD cover / 1000) x TPD
occupational rating] / 52
Remember Jayne is 30, female and falls into the occupational
category of White. Therefore her premiums are:

Transferring your Death and TPD
insurance cover
Death premium = [0.21 x ($1,000,000 / $1,000) x 1.00] / 52
= $4.04 per week
TPD premium = [0.17 x ($1,000,000 / $1,000) x 1.00] / 52
= $3.27 per week
Add the weekly Death and TPD premiums = ($4.04 + $3.27)
You may be eligible to transfer existing Death and/or TPD cover
(from other super funds or insurance policies up to $1,000,000)
to Sunsuper. To transfer your existing cover please complete and
return the Transfer of insurance cover form found in the back of
this guide.
Therefore Jayne’s weekly premium for
$1,000,000 of Tailored Death and TPD cover is
$7.31 per week.
Jayne now has to decide if she would like Fixed Cover or Fixed
Premium insurance – please refer to Amount and basis for
insurance cover on this page.
Note: Rounding variations may occur when calculating
premiums. Premiums per week are displayed as rounded up to
the next whole cent.
You will not be eligible to transfer your cover if,
• you have previously had an application for additional insurance
cover declined,
• you have been paid, lodged or eligible to lodge any TPD,
Terminal Illness or IP claim, or
• you are absent from work or unable to carry out all of the
duties of your usual occupation due to an injury or illness at
the transfer date.
It’s important you include all required documentation, which will
include:
• a letter or certificate of currency from your superannuation
fund or insurance provider detailing your current insurance
cover,
• details of any loadings, exclusions and restrictions applicable to
that cover, and
• the confirmation must have been issued within 30 days of your
application.
If accepted by the insurer:
• you will be subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the
Sunsuper for life policy provided by AIA Australia,
• the transferred cover will be additional to any existing
insurance cover you have subject to maximum cover limits on
page 24,
• you will need to cancel the cover you had under your previous
fund or policy, and
• your total cover will become Tailored Death and/or TPD cover
and will be Fixed Cover.
If you are thinking about transferring your existing insurance
cover, make sure you compare the features and benefits, and are
accepted by Sunsuper’s insurer, before cancelling existing cover.
26
As a condition of acceptance of the Tailored insurance cover, the
insurer may apply a loading (a higher premium) for the increased
amount of Death and/or TPD insurance cover. The insurer may
also specify a benefit exclusion that will apply if a claim for the
increased amount of insurance is related to a specified condition or
pastime.
Any premium loadings or benefit exclusions will be advised to
you at the time the insurer accepts your application for Tailored
insurance cover. Any premium loading or benefit exclusion will
apply to your total insured amount. You should advise Sunsuper
within 30 days if you decide that you do not wish to proceed with
the application for Tailored cover.
Can you change your Occupational
Category?
If your occupation changes so you are in a less manual or less
hazardous occupation, you can apply for a new occupational
category by completing an Occupational rating form (visit
sunsuper.com.au/forms). This may result in a reduction in your
premiums (Fixed Cover) or increased cover (Fixed Premium). Where
you currently have Fixed Premium and have an occupational
category of Hazardous, a change in your occupational category may
result in a lower premium; however your levels of cover will remain
the same.
When does Tailored Death and TPD
insurance cover start?
Your Tailored Death and TPD insurance cover will start from the
date the insurer accepts your application, provided you have
enough money in your Super-savings account to pay insurance
premiums. If you do not have enough money in your Super-savings
account to pay premiums, you will be notified of the conditions that
apply to you. The assessment process, known as “underwriting”,
usually takes some time especially where additional medical
information is required. The “underwriting” process depends on
your level of cover and the amount of health evidence required.
A Tailored Death, TPD or Terminal Illness benefit will not be paid,
within 12 months of the insurers acceptance of the additional
Tailored cover. This restriction applies only to the amount
above your previous level of cover,
after your date of disablement,
military service,
• if you are employed under the terms of a work visa and the
term of the visa expires, or you permanently depart Australia
(whichever is earlier), or
• if subject to any restriction or exclusion imposed as a condition
of acceptance by the insurer at time of application for Tailored
cover.
Any restrictions or exclusions on your previous cover amounts will
continue.

When does Death and TPD insurance
cover stop?
Can Death and TPD cover restart if it
lapses?
Cover will stop when:
Where insurance cover has stopped because:
•
•
•
•
•
•
• your Super-savings account balance is low and inactive, and/or
• there was insufficient money in your Super-savings account to
pay the premiums,
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

TPD Assist cover will continue while you continue to meet the
TPD Assist definition,
in respect to TPD Assist cover, the date benefits cease due
to you no longer meeting the TPD Assist definition during a
second claim period (with the exception of a Recurrent Event
within 12 months),

and employer contributions have not been received for 12
months, unless we have agreed otherwise). Where we have
valid contact details, we will contact you advising the date your
cover will stop. To avoid your cover stopping in this way, you
should maintain your Super-savings account balance above
$1,500 or ensure regular employer contributions are paid into
your Super-savings account, or
the premium is due and there is not enough money in your
Super-savings account to pay the premiums, and it remains
unpaid for 4 months.

cover from the date of receipt of the SG contribution. Death and
TPD Assist cover will restart as per the cover levels detailed in
Premium table 1. Limited Cover will apply until you satisfy the At
Work requirements for 30 consecutive days.
If you cancelled your cover or have cover in excess of the default
Death and TPD Assist cover (i.e. Tailored Death and TPD cover),
satisfactory evidence of health will be required to restart cover.
What benefits are paid out if you die?
Your Death benefit is the amount of your Sunsuper for life account
balance plus the total amount of your Death cover.
Any benefit payment for your Death cover is subject to acceptance
of the claim by the insurer.
Death and TPD Assist cover through Sunsuper. See 4 Am I eligible
for insurance cover?
In the event of your death, your Death benefit may be paid to your
nominated beneficiaries (subject to Trustee discretion — unless you
have elected a binding death benefit nomination).
Within 12 months of the start of your Death and TPD Assist or
White Collar Death cover, where your insurance cover start date is
more than 120 days after the date you join your employer, or the
start of your Tailored Death cover or increased cover as a result of a
Life or Age Event, you will not be eligible to claim where your death
results from suicide or from an intentional self-inflicted injury.
What happens if you have a Terminal
Illness?
What happens if your work situation
changes or you leave your employer?
Subject to providing all the required documentation to support
your claim and approval by the Trustee and Insurer, if your Death
cover is in force at the date of the most recent certification of
the Terminal Illness by two registered Medical Practitioners (one
being a specialist physician in the particular medical field), you will
be paid a Terminal Illness benefit. Terminal Illness means you are
suffering from an illness, or have incurred an injury, that is likely to
result in your death within a period of 24 months.
Your existing Death and TPD cover will continue when you leave
your employer. Premiums will continue to be deducted from your
Super-savings account balance.
If you have Death cover and the insurer accepts your claim for
Terminal Illness, the benefit paid is the amount of your Sunsuper
for life account balance plus the amount of your Death cover in
force at the most recent certification (up to a maximum of $5
million). The remaining amount of Death cover (if any) is then your
total Death cover, less the amount of insurance cover paid by the
insurer on account of your Terminal Illness benefit.
If you have received or are eligible to receive a Terminal Illness
benefit or a benefit as a result of a Terminal Medical Condition from
Sunsuper, or another fund or insurer when you join Sunsuper, you
will not be eligible for Death or TPD cover with Sunsuper.
What happens if I want to reduce or
cancel my cover?
If you don’t want Death and TPD Assist, White Collar or Tailored
cover, or you just want to reduce your cover, you need to let us
know in writing or by calling us on 13 11 84. The cancellation
or reduction will be effective from the date your instruction is
received.
If you cancel your Death and TPD Assist cover within 60 days of
the day cover commences, any premiums paid for your Death and
TPD Assist will be refunded to your Super-savings account.
If you hold Death and TPD Assist cover and you wish to reduce
your cover you must maintain a minimum level equal to 25% of
your Death and TPD Assist cover.
If you cancel your cover, evidence of health satisfactory to the
insurer will be required before cover can restart from the date
accepted by the insurer.
1 Special conditions may apply to some members.
2 Death cover in excess of the TPD Assist or Tailored TPD cover or Terminal
Illness benefit will still continue.
What happens during Unpaid Leave or
parental leave?
It is your responsibility to check there is always enough money in
your Super-savings account to pay insurance premiums.
Your Death and TPD cover will continue. During the first 24 months
of leave, the TPD definition that will generally apply will be the
definition that applied while you were working. If your period of
leave continues past 24 months your cover will continue. However,
you may be assessed under a different part of the TPD definition
- refer to 10 Definitions for the TPD definition. Premiums will
continue to be deducted from your Super-savings account during
the period of leave. You need to ensure you have enough money in
your Super-savings account during the period of leave to pay your
premiums.
However, it is important that you notify us if:
• you change occupation,
• your income changes, or
• you change employer,
so that we can update your records and determine the impact of
any changes.
You must let us know if you wish to cancel your Death and TPD
insurance cover.
What happens if you are employed
under the terms of a work visa?
Employees employed under the terms of a work visa are eligible for
Death and TPD Assist cover and may also apply for Tailored cover.
What happens if you travel overseas on
paid leave?
Where you travel overseas while on paid leave from your
Australian-based employer (or an international subsidiary or
associated company of your Australian employer), your Death and
TPD cover continues with no travel restrictions.
What happens if you temporarily reside
overseas?
Your Death and TPD cover will continue while temporarily residing
overseas. If you become disabled while based overseas you may be
required to return to Australia at your own expense for assessment
of any disablement claim. The TPD definition used in the event
of a claim will depend on your employment status at the time of
becoming disabled. Under the TPD definition Employed means you
are working at least 15 hours per week.
Where you temporarily reside overseas during a period of Unpaid
Leave, your cover will continue as described on this page. Refer to
the definition of Unpaid Leave in 10 Definitions.

Example of how to calculate your Opt In IP cover
and premium:
Jack is 45 when he joins Sunsuper. He applies for
Opt In IP cover on his Membership application form
or when he joins online. Jack’s salary is $80,000 p.a.
To calculate Jack’s Opt In IP cover and his weekly
premium, follow the following steps and refer to Premium
table 5.
1.Determine Jack’s monthly benefit – Income x 85% / 12
(rounded up to the next $500).
2.Divide the monthly benefit by $500.
3.Multiply 2. by the weekly premium – refer to Premium table 5.
Jack’s cover and weekly premium will be:
1.$80,000 x 85% / 12 = $6,000. Maximum monthly Opt In IP
cover = $5,000 monthly benefit.
2.$5,000 / $500 = 10.
3.10 x $0.60 = $6.00 per week.

How does Tailored IP cover work?
Maximum amount of Tailored IP cover
If you’re not eligible for the New Member option of Opt In IP
cover, or you have previously cancelled your cover and want
to reapply, or you simply want to change the level of your IP
insurance cover you may apply for Tailored IP cover.
You can apply for an amount of cover up to 85% of your Income
(75% of your Income plus 10% superannuation contribution)
but not more than $30,000 per month. Income is defined in 10
Definitions.
Tailored IP cover will provide you with an income if you are
unable to work because of your injury or sickness, known as
becoming Totally Disabled. Totally Disabled (or Total Disability) is
defined in 10 Definitions.
You can choose the length of your Benefit Period and Waiting
Period. IP cover provides you with monthly income for up to 2
years, 5 years or to age 65 after a Waiting Period of either 30,
60, 90 or 180 days, upon acceptance by the insurer of your
inability to work due to injury or sickness. Payments are made
monthly in arrears after the conclusion of the Waiting Period.
Am I eligible to apply for Tailored IP
cover?
You are eligible for Tailored IP cover if you are aged 15 to 64 and
working at least 15 hours per week and:
• you are permanently employed, or
• you are Self-Employed, or
• you are working in Australia under the terms of a work visa.
Your Benefit Period will be limited to your legal eligibility to
work in Australia.
Interim Accident cover
Where you apply for Tailored IP cover, up to 90 days interim
Accidental Income Protection cover will apply from the date of
receipt of your completed Tailored insurance cover application
form. Accident is defined in 10 Definitions. No additional premium
is charged for the interim Accident cover.
The interim cover ends on the earlier of the acceptance, deferral
or rejection of your application for Income Protection cover or 90
days from receipt of your application.
The maximum interim Accident cover available is $15,000 per
month or your calculated benefit, whichever is the lesser. Your
chosen Benefit Period and Waiting Period will apply. No interim
Accident cover will be paid if during the interim period, death or
disability is caused directly or indirectly by engaging in any sport
or pastime that the insurer would not normally cover at standard
rates or any other exclusion under the policy.
Casuals and contractors can apply for Tailored IP cover but
restrictions may apply.
Any application for IP cover is subject to acceptance by the
insurer. Satisfactory evidence of health will be required.
Sunsuper reserves the right to limit the amount of Tailored IP
cover provided. Contact us on 13 11 84 for more information.
It’s simple; you can apply for Tailored cover anytime.
You can apply for cover through Member Online, our secure online
service. Just visit sunsuper.com.au and follow the prompts to
Member Online. If you’re not signed up for Member Online — it’s

Indexation of Tailored IP cover
Tailored IP cover will be indexed annually on 1 July, based on the
annual trend adjusted increase in Average Weekly Ordinary Time
Earnings (AWOTE) at the previous November. This means that
the amount of your Tailored IP cover will increase at each 1 July.
Any increase will be limited to a maximum of 5%.
You can elect not to have your Tailored IP indexed each year by
completing an Insurance variation form available at sunsuper.
com.au/forms. Similarly, you could choose to opt back into
automatic indexation of your Tailored IP cover by using the same
form.
If you choose to opt back into annual indexation the increased IP
cover will be subject to Limited Cover for a period of 24 months
and until you are At Work for 30 consecutive days after the end
of the 24 month period.
Example of how your Tailored IP cover will be
indexed:
Fiona is 28 years old when she applies for and
is accepted for Tailored IP cover. Her Income is
$60,000 p.a. and the date of acceptance is 1 March.
The indexation rate for 1 July is 1.7%.
Cover at 1 March (date of acceptance):
$60,000 x 85% = $51,000 p.a. = $4,250 p.m.
New cover at next 1 July:
$51,000 x 1.017 = $51,867 p.a. = $4,322 p.m.
If Fiona had previously opted out of indexation and then
chose to opt back into annual indexation, the increased cover
of $867 p.a. will be subject to Limited Cover (see page 34).
What happens to my Opt In IP or White
Collar IP cover?
If Tailored IP cover is approved, the premium previously applied
to your Opt In IP or White Collar IP insurance cover will no longer
apply and your total IP cover and premium will be based on your
occupational classification.
What are the Occupational Categories?
When you apply for Tailored IP cover the insurer will determine
your occupational category based on your occupation at the
time. When calculating your insurance premium within Tailored
cover, an occupational loading will be applied based on your
occupational category. Refer to 10 Definitions which briefly
describe how Occupational Categories are determined.
How much is the premium and when is
it paid?
The premium payable for Tailored IP cover is based on your
amount of cover, Benefit Period, Waiting Period, gender,
occupation, health and age. The premium is recalculated with
any change in your cover amount and on your birthday each year.
Occupation is based on the six Occupational Categories shown in
10 Definitions. Income Protection cover may not be available for
hazardous occupations and will be assessed on a case-by-case
basis.
The premium is normally deducted from your Super-savings
account balance each month, which is great as it won’t impact
your take-home pay. To ensure you have sufficient money in
your Super-savings account to pay premiums and to ensure your
insurance cover does not lapse, you should keep a minimum
Super-savings account balance of $1,500 at all times.
The total premium includes stamp duty and a 5% insurance fee
to offset Sunsuper’s cost of providing the cover, and is deducted
from your Super-savings account balance.
The Premium tables 6 to 8 set out the annual premium for
each $1,000 of annual insured benefit for the 2-year, 5-year
and to age 65 Benefit Periods. When the insurer assesses your
application for Tailored cover, the insurer may apply a loading (a
higher premium).
An example of how to calculate Tailored IP premiums:
Michael is 41 years old. He is a travelling salesman and his Income is $60,000 per annum. He applies for Tailored
IP cover with a 2-year Benefit Period and a 60-day Waiting Period. He is in good health and the insurer accepts his
application with a Light Blue occupational category.
To calculate Michael’s weekly premium you need to:
1.Use the IP Premium table 6 for the desired length of Benefit Period to find the premium applicable for Michael’s age, gender and
benefit Waiting Period.
2.Use the Occupational rating categories table on page 50 to find the occupational category IP rating.
3.Calculate the cost of cover: [(amount of cover / 1000) x IP premium rate x IP occupational rating] / 52

Note: Rounding variations may occur when calculating premiums. Premiums per week are displayed as rounded up to the next
whole cent. Premiums include stamp duty and a 5% insurance fee to offset Sunsuper’s cost of providing the cover.
Transferring your IP insurance cover
You may be eligible to transfer existing IP cover (from other
super funds or insurance policies up to $10,000 per month) to
Sunsuper. To transfer your existing cover please complete and
return the Transfer of insurance cover form found in the back of
this guide.
You will not be eligible to transfer your cover if,
• you have previously had an application for additional insurance
cover declined,
• you have been paid, lodged or eligible to lodge any TPD,
Terminal Illness or IP claim, or
• you are absent from work or unable to carry out all of the
duties of your usual occupation due to an injury or illness at
the transfer date.
• a letter or certificate of currency from your superannuation
fund or insurance provider detailing your current insurance
cover,
• details of any loadings, exclusions and restrictions applicable to
that cover, and
• the confirmation must have been issued within 30 days of your
application.
If accepted by the insurer:
• you will be subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the
Sunsuper for life policy provided by AIA Australia,
• the Waiting Period and Benefit Period you had will be
transferred where they are offered under the policy, or where
not available under the policy, the Waiting Period will be the
next longest period and the Benefit Period the next shortest
period offered by the policy,
• you will need to cancel the cover you had under your previous
fund or policy, and
Income
Therefore for an IP premium of $4.55 per week (includes stamp duty and a 5% Insurance fee) Michael would be covered for
$51,000 per annum for a 2-year Benefit Period, with a 60-day Waiting Period. In the event of a claim if Michael’s income was
$60,000 per annum at the date of disablement, and he is eligible for a Total Disability benefit with no offsets, he would receive
direct monthly payments of $3,750 (less PAYG tax) and $500 would be paid into his Super-savings account.
It’s important you include all required documentation, which will
include:

Age
• the transferred cover will be additional to any existing
insurance cover you have subject to the maximum benefit limit
of $30,000 per month.
If you are thinking about transferring your existing insurance
cover, make sure you compare the features and benefits and are
accepted by the insurer before cancelling existing cover.
Can your health affect your insurance
cover?
When the insurer assesses your application for Tailored
insurance cover, they may ask for further details in relation to
the information you disclose in your Tailored insurance cover
application.
As a condition of acceptance of the Tailored insurance cover, the
insurer may apply a loading (a higher premium) for the increased
amount of IP cover. The insurer may also specify a benefit
exclusion that will apply if a claim for the increased amount of
insurance is related to a specified condition or pastime.
Any premium loadings or benefit exclusions will be advised to
you at the time the insurer accepts your application for Tailored
insurance cover. You should advise Sunsuper within 30 days if
you decide that you do not wish to proceed with the application
for Tailored cover.
Where you have maintained the same Benefit Period and Waiting
Period any loadings or exclusions will only apply above the
amount of any Opt In IP or White Collar IP insurance cover you
may have at the time of acceptance of your Tailored IP cover
application.

When does IP cover start?
Opt In IP cover and White Collar IP cover will commence on the
date you commence employment where you apply, and your
first SG contribution is received within 120 days of commencing
employment. If White Collar Cover is applied for more than 120
days after you commenced employment cover will start from the
date the insurer accepts your application. Tailored IP cover will
start from the date the insurer accepts your application.
Commencement of cover is also subject to you having sufficient
money in your Super-savings account to pay insurance premiums.
If you do not have enough money in your Super-savings account
to pay premiums, you will be notified of the conditions that apply
to you.
When does IP cover stop?
IP cover stops when:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
you withdraw all your money from Sunsuper,
you turn 65,
you cancel the cover,
you die,
your period of Unpaid Leave or parental leave exceeds 24
months,
you are employed under the terms of a work visa and the
you cease employment with your Australian-based Employer
whilst overseas ,
the premium is due and there is not enough money in your
Super-savings account to pay the total premium (including
stamp duty) and it remains unpaid for 4 months,
your Super-savings account balance is low and inactive
(normally this will be when your balance is less than $1,500
and employer contributions have not been received for 12
months). Where we have valid contact details, we will contact
you advising the date that your cover will stop. To avoid your
cover stopping in this way, you should maintain your Supersavings account balance above $1,500 or ensure regular
employer contributions are paid into your Super-savings
account, or
the policy issued to Sunsuper is cancelled or terminated for any
reason.
What happens if I want to reduce or
cancel my cover?
If you don’t want Opt In, White Collar or Tailored IP cover, or
you just want to reduce or modify your cover, you need to let
us know in writing or by calling us on 13 11 84, otherwise the
premiums will normally be deducted from your Super-savings
account each month. The cancellation or reduction will be
effective from the date your instruction is received.
What happens if your work situation
changes or you leave your employer?
Your existing IP insurance cover will continue when you leave your
employer. Premiums will continue to be deducted from your Supersavings account balance. However, it is important that you notify
us if:
•
•
•
•
you change occupation,
your income changes,
you change employers, or
you are no longer working,
so that we can update your records and determine the impact of
any changes.
Your cover may stop (refer to When does IP cover stop? on this
page) or your premium may change if your circumstances change
as outlined above. You should contact us to determine the impact
of any changes.
If you are unemployed at the Date of Disablement and have been
unemployed for a period of more than 12 months, you will not be
eligible to make a claim for an IP benefit.
You must let us know if you wish to cancel your IP insurance
cover.
What happens if you return to work
during the Waiting Period?
If the Waiting Period you select is 30 days, you may return to
work for up to 5 days during that time without having to start
the Waiting Period again. If your Waiting Period is 60, 90 or 180
days, you may return to work for up to 10 days during that time
without having to restart the Waiting Period. If you do return to
work, the days returned to work will extend your original Waiting
Period by the number of days you returned to work.
Waiting Period and Benefit Period
If you return for longer than those periods specified your Waiting
Period will restart.
The Waiting Period and Benefit Period determine when a claim
payment commences and the maximum length of time a benefit
is payable.
What happens during Unpaid Leave or
parental leave?
•
The Waiting Period is how long you must be Totally or Partially
Disabled before becoming eligible to claim a benefit. The Waiting
Period commences from the date a Medical Practitioner certifies
you are Totally Disabled and unable to work as determined by
the insurer. Benefit payments will commence when the Waiting
Period ends and are paid monthly in arrears.
The Benefit Period is the maximum length of time that a claim
will be paid for.
38
Total premiums (including stamp duty) will continue to be
deducted from your Super-savings account during the period of
leave. It is your responsibility to ensure sufficient monies are in
your Super-savings account during the period of leave. Your IP
cover will stop after 24 months (refer to 10 Definitions for the
definition of Unpaid Leave).
What happens if you travel overseas on
paid leave?
Where you travel overseas while on paid leave from your
Australian-based employer (or an international subsidiary or
associated company of your Australian employer), your IP cover
continues with no travel restrictions.
Recurrent event
Following a claim, if you make a further claim arising from the same
or related cause as the first claim, the further claim will be:
a)treated as a separate claim if it occurred after you returned to
work for at least 6 continuous months, or
b)deemed to be a continuation of the original claim if made
within 6 months from the end of payments from the earlier
claim.
Total premiums (including stamp duty) will continue to be
deducted from your Super-savings account during the period of
leave. It is your responsibility to ensure sufficient monies are left
in your Sunsuper for life account during the period of leave to
pay your premiums.
A further Waiting Period will not apply in this case but the relevant
Benefit Period will be adjusted to take into account prior benefits
paid under this policy for the original claim.
If you cancel your cover while on leave, you will need to reapply
for cover on returning to work. Satisfactory evidence of health
will be required to restart this cover.
Concurrent event
What happens if you temporarily reside
overseas?
Where you are Totally Disabled because of more than one injury or
sickness, or from both, whether related or not, benefits are payable
in respect of only one injury or sickness, as the insurer shall
reasonably determine, based on medical evidence.
Your IP cover will continue while temporarily residing overseas as
long as you remain in the active employ of your Australian-based
employer (or an international subsidiary or associated company
of your Australian employer). If you become disabled while based
overseas you may, at your expense, be required to return to
Australia for assessment of any disability claim.
Where you temporarily reside overseas during a period of Unpaid
Leave, your Income Protection cover may continue for up to 24
months.
Any disablement claim will be dependent on your employment
status at the time of becoming disabled.
Can your IP cover restart?
Once cover has stopped, satisfactory evidence of health and
occupational information will generally be required to restart this
cover. If accepted by the insurer, your IP cover will restart from the
date the insurer accepts your application.
What benefit is paid out?
After the Waiting Period, the monthly benefit is payable for up to a
maximum period of:
• 2 years,
• 5 years, or
• to age 65
Depending on the Benefit Period you have chosen, while you
continue to meet the insurer’s definition of Total Disability.
The monthly benefit payable will be the lower of:
• the level of cover selected by you less any offsets, and
• 75% of your monthly rate of Pre-Disability Income less any
offsets, plus up to 10% superannuation contributions for
Tailored cover or up to 25% superannuation contributions for
Opt In IP or White Collar IP cover.
Updating your IP cover
It is very important you keep your level of IP cover up to date. Apart
from the indexation of your Tailored IP cover each 1 July, you will
need to apply for any additional increase in the level of Tailored
IP cover you require — providing new income details alone does
not increase the cover. Your application must be accepted by the
insurer.
With Opt In or White Collar IP cover, you must apply for any increase
and your total IP cover will be transferred to Tailored IP cover on
acceptance by the insurer.
Will there be offsets to my benefit
payment?
An offset means that the benefit payable may be reduced if you
receive other income while you’re unable to work due to sickness
or accident.
Your IP benefit payment may be reduced by the following
payments:
• Workers' Compensation or Transport Accident Compensation or
similar legislation in relation to your injury or sickness,
• any other payments, statutory or otherwise, paid to you for loss
of income in relation to your injury or sickness,
• any other payments made under any disability income type
insurance policy;
• any other lump sum payment which relates to loss of income
due to injury or sickness (other than a TPD or Terminal Illness
benefit under this Policy);
• any paid sick leave from your employer (however the
insurer does not require all sick leave to be used before
commencement of the income benefit).
Income is defined on page 59 and is usually calculated at the first
day of absence from your employment due to the injury or sickness
resulting in you becoming Totally Disabled. Refer to Will there be
offsets to my benefit payment? on this page.
39
6
Payment of benefits
The insurer will pay monthly benefits directly to you with
a maximum payment of 75% of Pre-Disability Income. Any
remaining benefit will be paid to your Super-savings account.
The benefit paid to you is taxable income and attracts PAYG tax
(the same as salary and wages) which will be deducted from the
benefit before it is paid to you.
The definition of Total Disability you will be assessed against
in the event of a claim is linked to the number of hours you
are working prior to the claim event. If you are unemployed, or
working on average less than 15 hours per week in the 3 months
prior to becoming disabled, you will be assessed against the
Limited Total Disability definition. If you were working on average
15 or more hours per week in the 3 months prior to becoming
disabled, you will be assessed against the Total Disability
definition. If your claim is accepted, payments (monthly in arrears)
will start when the Waiting Period finishes. Any claim for your
Income Protection benefit is assessed independently of any TPD
claim.
The IP benefit is subject to a maximum level based on your most
recent Pre-Disability Income accepted by the insurer immediately
before you become Totally Disabled. If you are on Unpaid Leave
or parental leave, your benefit is based on your most recent PreDisability Income accepted by the insurer immediately prior to
starting leave. Any insured superannuation contributions up to
10% for Tailored IP cover, or up to 25% for Opt In or White Collar
IP cover, will be paid directly to your Super-savings account on
your behalf. These amounts count towards your concessional
contribution cap. Payments will be made monthly in arrears.
Indexation of Tailored IP benefits
When on claim and your Benefit Period is greater than 2
years your IP benefits will be indexed by the lesser of the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 5% on each anniversary of the
commencement of your continuing Tailored IP claim.
Partial Disablement
A reduced monthly Income Protection benefit may be payable
if you become Partially Disabled (see 10 Definitions for the
definition of Partial Disability).
Proof of Income
When does payment of the benefit
stop?
7
Benefit payments start after the Waiting Period ends and are
payable monthly in arrears until the first to occur of:
• you no longer satisfy the definition of Total Disability, Limited
Total Disability or Partial Disability, as assessed by the insurer,
• the end of the benefit payment period,
• you are employed under the terms of a work visa and the
• you reside overseas and have received 12 months of benefit
payments,
• you reach age 65, or
• your death.
How do you
apply?
The benefit will be paid even if the insurer assesses you to be
TPD.
Providing you were an insured member of Sunsuper at the time
you finished work due to the injury or sickness that gave rise to
a claim, monthly income benefits will be payable or continue to
be paid, regardless of whether you continue to be a member of
Sunsuper.
No premium required
Your IP premiums will be waived from the end of the Waiting
Period and will continue whilst a monthly benefit is payable.
Once you stop receiving benefit payments, deduction of the IP
premiums will recommence being drawn from your Super-savings
account.
General exclusions
military service,
• a criminal act committed by you, or
• any other exclusion imposed by the insurer as a result of
underwriting.
In the event of a claim, proof of Income is required to ensure your
benefit does not exceed 85% of your Income at the first day of
absence from active employment due to illness or injury resulting
in Total Disability.

FACTS ABOUT MAKING A CLAIM (continued)
Let us help you
How to make a claim
At Sunsuper, we understand that making a claim can sometimes
be a stressful and difficult process. We understand that the
circumstances of every claim are as different as the individuals
making them.
While we do hope that you never need to, the following
information will assist you in understanding the claim process in
the event that you do need to make a claim. Any claim process
will involve:
To help you and your family through this difficult time, we have
experienced Claims Representatives that can assist and guide
you through the claims process from start to finish.

All of our Claims Representatives are trained to understand and
explain our claims process. Once you make the initial contact
with us to commence a claim, you will be assigned an individual
Claims Representative to help you through the rest of the
process and answer your questions.
Sunsuper has recently introduced an eClaims process to help
simplify the process and reduce the time taken to finalise the
claim.

assessment by the Sunsuper Trustee, including determination
of the beneficiary/s
• decision by the Sunsuper Trustee
• payment of the claim, if approved.
These steps do take some time, although our experienced Claims
Representatives will help you at every stage of the process.
We are here to help. Please contact us as soon as you are able to
on 13 11 84 if you would like help making a claim or have any
questions.
Further information may be requested at different stages of the
process, and with disablement claims you may be required to
undergo an examination by a medical practitioner or professional
of the insurer’s choice. The insurer will usually meet the costs
associated with any additional information requests.
Sunsuper insurance claims guide
Death claims
Want to know more about:
It is important that in the event of your death, Sunsuper is
notified by a relative or legal personal representative to enable
the claims process to begin. Once we receive formal notification
of your death, your Super-savings account will normally be
transferred to the Cash option. Any insurance benefit paid into
your Super-savings account will also be invested in the Cash
investment option, and will remain invested there until the
Trustee finalises payment of your Death benefit.
• Making a claim
• How a claim is assessed
We have developed a guide to help step you through the various
claims processes. Visit sunsuper.com.au/makeaclaim for more
information on making a claim.
Do you need a lawyer to assist with
your claim?
Every insurance claim is different. Our claim process has been
designed so that in most cases you or your family should not
need the assistance of a lawyer when making a claim with
Sunsuper. Our experienced Claims Representatives are here to
assist you with your claim throughout the whole process.
However, if you wish to engage the services of a lawyer to
assist with your claim you can do so at any time.
Remember, we are here to help, so call us on 13 11 84 if you
have any questions about how to make a claim.
Nominating your beneficiaries
You can choose to nominate preferred beneficiary/s (a nonbinding nomination) or to complete a binding death benefit
nomination form.
If you’ve nominated a preferred beneficiary, this is used by the
Trustee only as a guide when deciding who should receive your
death benefit, as there may be restrictions on who the benefit
can be legally paid to. There may also be lengthy investigations
to determine who the benefit should be paid to.
A binding death benefit nomination allows you to nominate
who will receive your superannuation benefits in the event of
your death and ensures that the Trustee is legally bound by
your wishes. Claims are generally processed faster when a valid
binding death benefit nomination is in place.
Disablement claims (TPD, IP and
Terminal Illness)
Sunsuper should be notified as soon as reasonably possible after
an event that is likely to give rise to a disablement or Terminal
Medical Condition claim. Please note that there is a 3-month
Waiting Period before a Tailored TPD claim becomes assessable,
and a Waiting Period applicable to you in the event of an IP
claim.
If you don’t have insurance with us, you may still be able to claim
your super balance under a Permanent Incapacity benefit. If you
are suffering from a Terminal Medical Condition you may also be
able to access your super balance. Please contact Sunsuper to
discuss these options.
If your claim is declined
If your claim is declined by the insurer your claim will be referred
to the Sunsuper Trustee for independent assessment. If the
Sunsuper Trustee declines your claim and you disagree with this
decision you may lodge a complaint, in writing, with Sunsuper.
Your complaint will be investigated, and if the decision to
decline your claim is confirmed by the Fund, you may ask the
Superannuation Complaints Tribunal (SCT) whether you are
eligible to submit a complaint. There are time limits on when
you can make a complaint to the SCT about a TPD claim. Call the
SCT on 1300 884 114 or visit their website www.sct.gov.au for
more information about these time limits.
Incorrect information and eligibility for
cover
If your recorded age or gender is incorrect, the insurer has the
right to adjust the premium or the benefit based on correct
information. As a general rule, your eligibility for cover will not be
assessed until you make a claim. Please refer to 4 Am I eligible
for insurance cover?
Claims after your cover has stopped
If an event occurs before the date your cover stops or is
terminated, and that event entitles you to make an insurance
claim, you may still be eligible for that payment even after your
cover has stopped.
Claim investigation
If you make a claim, the insurer reserves the right to investigate
the claim including but not limited to conducting surveillance and
requesting information and medical examinations.
Occupational Rehabilitation in Sunsuper “Work is Good Medicine”
At Sunsuper we work with our insurer to offer you access to
one of the largest and most experienced rehabilitation teams in
Australia, so if you have an injury, disability or health condition
we can arrange work related rehabilitation to assist you back to
meaningful work.
We work in partnership with you, your treating health
professionals and employer to assist you back to suitable work
as part of your recovery plan. If you are unemployed, we can
assist you to improve your fitness for work.
Returning to work restores more than your income. It helps
to restore your identity and self-esteem.
Rehabilitation services may include:
• initial meetings with a rehabilitation provider to identify your
return to work needs
• work place visits to identify solutions in your return to work
plan
• equipment to ensure you maintain your job
• career guidance to explore alternative work options if you can’t
work in your usual role
• improving your skills and capabilities so that your return to
work is sustainable.
Rehabilitation is not appropriate for everyone.
Together we can assist you back to work and back to a fuller life!
Other important information
Can I nominate a beneficiary?
• a preferred beneficiary nomination – this is used by the Trustee
as a guide when deciding who should receive your Death
benefit, as there may be restrictions on who the benefit can
be legally paid to. There may also be lengthy investigations to
determine who the benefit should be paid to.
Refer to pages 11 and 12 of the Sunsuper for life guide for more
information.
Financial advice
When you make a claim, or receive an insurance benefit, not
only is it likely to be a difficult time, but it can be hard to know
what your next step is. You may need help with a tailored
financial plan or help in moving into a new or different phase of
your financial life after a major event and/or insurance payout.
You don’t need to panic and you don’t need to be rushed into a
course of action.
If you need some financial advice and help deciding what you
should do in the short term as well as a long-term plan, please
don’t hesitate to contact one of our qualified financial planners1.
Call 13 11 84 to speak to one of our phone based qualified

planner2.

for our members. Sunsuper does not receive or pay any referral fees to these
planners. Each of these planners will explain to you how their advice fees are
determined. The accredited external financial planners are not employed by
Sunsuper, and Sunsuper is not responsible for the advice provided by these
planners.
Your duty of disclosure
When making an application for insurance cover and before you
enter into a contract of life insurance with an insurer, you have a
duty, under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984, to disclose to the
insurer every matter you know, or could reasonably be expected
to know, is relevant to the insurer’s decision whether to accept
the risk of the insurance, and if so, on what terms. Your duty
extends not just from the time you sign your application form,
but also up to the time that the insurer accepts your application
for cover.
If you fail to comply with your duty of disclosure and the insurer
would not have entered into the contract on any terms, the
insurer may have grounds not to pay a benefit in the event of a
claim.
Your duty of disclosure and what can occur in the event of nondisclosure are detailed in your application forms for insurance
cover. For further information please call us on 13 11 84.
In the unfortunate event of your death, the Sunsuper Trustee
is required to pay your Death benefit to your beneficiaries, or
where there are no eligible beneficiaries, to any person who has
a fair claim. For your Super-savings account you can complete
either:
• a binding death benefit nomination – allows you to nominate
who will receive your superannuation benefits in the event
of your death and ensures that the Trustee is legally bound
by your wishes. Claims are generally processed faster when a
valid binding death benefit nomination is in place, or

the meaning of the Private Health Insurance Act 2007 (Cth) or any other program which might cause the policy to cease to be
exempt from the relevant health insurance legislation.
Partial
Disability
or Partially
Disabled (IP)
Partial Disability means that, following a period of Total Disability (for 7 out of the first 10 working days of the Waiting Period) and
while you continue to be either Totally or Partially Disabled during the Waiting Period you:
(a) have returned to work in your usual or an alternative occupation, and
(b) are under the care of and complying with the reasonable advice given by a registered medical practitioner, and
(c) as a result of the disability, you have suffered and continue to suffer loss of income as a direct result of the injury or sickness.

Waiting Period.
Permanent
Incapacity
Permanent Incapacity is a superannuation benefit paid as a condition of release under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision)
Regulations 1994 (Cth). A member of a superannuation fund is taken to be suffering permanent incapacity if the trustee of the
fund is reasonably satisfied that the member’s ill-health (whether physical or mental) makes it unlikely that the member will engage
in gainful employment for which the member is reasonably qualified by education, training or experience.
Pre-Disability
Income (IP)
Pre-Disability Income means the higher of the gross monthly income you earned at the Date of Disablement or an average of the
gross monthly income earned by you over the 3 months immediately prior to the Date of Disablement.
If you are a casual or contract employee, or unemployed, the Pre-Disability Income means the average of the gross monthly income
earned over the 12 months (or if employed less than 12 months, over your period of employment) immediately prior to the Date of
Disablement.
If you are Self-Employed, Pre-Disability Income means the greater of the average of the gross monthly income earned over the 12
months and the latest financial year immediately prior to the Date of Disablement.
Self-Employed
Person
A Self-Employed Person means a person who operates a business or profession as a sole proprietor, partner in a partnership,
independent contractor or consultant and reports income earned from self-employment.
Terminal
Illness
Terminal Illness means you are suffering from an illness, or have incurred an injury, that is likely to result in your death within a
period of 24 months from the date of certification of the Terminal Illness by two registered Medical Practitioners (one being a
specialist physician in the particular medical field), both acceptable to the insurer and the certification periods have not ended. The
benefit the insurance policy pays out is termed as a Terminal Illness benefit.
Terminal
Medical
Condition
Terminal Medical Condition is a superannuation benefit paid as a condition of release under the Superannuation Industry
(Supervision) Regulations 1994 (Cth). For more information refer to the Sunsuper for life guide.

Authorisation and declaration Sign this application form and return to Sunsuper:
I acknowledge that:
Duty of disclosure
i.
A person who enters into a life insurance contract in respect
of your life has a duty, before entering into the contract, to
tell the insurer anything that they know, or could reasonably
be expected to know, that may affect the insurer’s decision to
provide the insurance and on what terms.
if I do not fully complete, sign and date this application, or
do not attach any additional information requested, I will
not be eligible to transfer my existing cover to Sunsuper,
ii. if the insurer accepts my application, the existing amount
of insurance cover as at the effective transfer date under
my previous fund or previous policy will be replaced by an
equivalent allocation (or such lower amount as I have specified)
of additional voluntary insurance cover (up to a maximum
amount of $1,000,000 for Death and TPD and a maximum of
$10,000 monthly benefit) under my Sunsuper account. This
cover will be in addition to any existing insurance cover I may
hold through Sunsuper. Maximum cover limits will apply,
iii. my replacement cover will not commence in Sunsuper until
the later of:
a. the date the insurer accepts my application, and
b. the date of cancellation of my existing insurance cover
under the previous fund or previous policy,
iv. Sunsuper and its insurer may undertake appropriate enquiry and
investigation to verify the answers I have provided (including
contacting my previous fund or life insurance company to obtain
additional details of my current insurance cover),
v. Sunsuper and its insurer may investigate whether any
premium loadings, restrictions and exclusions may have
applied in the previous fund/previous policy,
vi. I agree to provide Sunsuper and its insurer with access to any
health and/or financial evidence I have provided to the previous
fund and their insurer or retail insurer in an application for the
cover. Any non-disclosure to the previous fund or its insurer may
be acted upon by Sunsuper and/or its insurer,
vii. Should it become apparent to Sunsuper or its insurer that I
have not undertaken the requirements that I have agreed to
in Section 6A above, then any insurance benefit that may be
payable to me, my dependants or my estate from Sunsuper
may be reduced by the insurance amount paid or payable
from my previous fund, another division of the previous fund,
another fund, my previous policy or any policy issued under
any continuation option that I exercised, as a consequence of
my failure to abide by these requirements. This reduction in
benefit will, however, be limited to the extent that my benefit
from Sunsuper is no less than I would have been eligible to
receive under the terms of the policy between Sunsuper and
its insurer had I not made this application for transfer of cover,
viii. I hereby declare that the information contained in this
Transfer of insurance cover form application (whether written
by hand or not) is true and correct and that no information
material to this application for transfer has been withheld,
ix. If the insurer accepts my application, the terms and
conditions as outlined in Sunsuper’s insurance policy
document will apply, and the terms and conditions of my
former policy/fund and/or former insurer will not apply,
x. I have read the duty of disclosure notice and understand its
contents and what is meant by my duty to disclose. I also
understand that my duty to disclose continues after I have
completed this application for transfer until the insurer has
accepted the risk.
The person entering into the contract has this duty until the insurer
agrees to provide the insurance. The person entering into the
contract has this same duty before they extend, vary or reinstate
the contract.
The person entering into the contract does not need to tell the
insurer anything that reduces the risk you are insured for; or is
common knowledge; or the insurer knows or should know as an
insurer; or the insurer waives your duty to tell them about.
If you do not tell the insurer something that you know, or
could reasonably be expected to know, may affect the insurer’s
decision to provide the insurance and on what terms, this may
be treated as a failure by the person entering into the contract to
tell the insurer something that they must tell the insurer.
If you require additional space to answer 6B or any of the questions on this form please use the space provided below.
The information I have given in this application
and any separate statements I have given with
it are true. I have disclosed everything about
me and my health that Sunsuper and its insurer
need to know when deciding whether to accept
my application for transfer of cover. I will notify
Sunsuper of any changes to my health before my
cover transfer application has been assessed.
I have read and understood my Duty of Disclosure
and accept the above acknowledgements.
I authorise my previous fund or the
insurer of my previous policy to provide
Sunsuper and/or its insurer with any
information about my current insurance
cover. For this authority, a photocopy of
this Declaration is as valid as the original.

If you do not tell us something
In exercising the following rights, the insurer may consider
whether different types of cover can constitute separate
contracts of life insurance. If they do, the insurer may apply the
following rights separately to each type of cover.
If the person entering into the contract does not tell the insurer
anything they are required to, and the insurer would not have
provided the insurance if they had told the insurer, the insurer
may avoid the contract within 3 years of entering into it.
If the insurer chooses not to avoid the contract, the insurer may,
at any time, reduce the amount of insurance provided. This
would be worked out using a formula that takes into account
the premium that would have been payable if they had told the
insurer everything they should have. However, if the contract has
a surrender value, or provides cover on death, the insurer may only
exercise this right within 3 years of entering into the contract.
If the insurer chooses not to avoid the contract or reduce the
amount of insurance provided, they may, at any time vary the
contract in a way that places them in the same position the
insurer would have been if the person entering in to the contract
had told the insurer everything they should have. However, this
right does not apply if the contract has a surrender value or
provides cover on death.
