Cover, beneficiaries and claims.
We’re writing the first guides on this now. Until they’re ready, these organisations are good places to start.
About this topic
Many people have life cover without realising it, often inside their super. These guides explain how cover and death benefits generally work and how claims are made. They’re general information only, so for advice about your own policy, please speak with a licensed adviser.
