At AIA Australia, we understand that clients have various every day expenses, creating a need to keep an eye on their budget. From paying for groceries, maintaining mortgage repayments, child related expenses and many more. Providing your clients with various options to help minimise cost and maintain their insurance cover is something AIA can help with.
Premium payment basis – paying premiums once annually is a more affordable option because your clients avoid paying frequency loadings of up to 8% for premiums paid monthly or half yearly.
Premium Structure – structuring your client’s policy with a long term view provides additional options. For example, whilst Stepped premiums are cheaper than the alternatives in the first year, over the long term, other premium structures could be cheaper. AIA Australia provide clients with three additional premium structure options, these are:
Superannuation rollover monies - using their superannuation rollover monies to pay for their policy. The benefits of using super rollover monies is that your clients won’t have to budget for their policy via their available funds, therefore keeping their policy in place if the unfortunate were to happen. Furthermore, the policy premiums are paid by using pre-tax income.
Becoming a non-smoker – if your client currently holds an AIA Priority Protection policy, was accepted on smoker rates and has quit smoking for over 12 months, they can complete a non-smoker declaration, which could reduce their premiums significantly.
Additionally, if you have clients with health or pastime loadings on their policies, reviewing those policies could result in cheaper premiums where the loadings can be removed due to health improvements.
AIA discounts – AIA has a number of discounts available which are outlined below.
If your client has both Lump Sum and IP plans with AIAA, they may be eligible to receive a 12.5% discount on their Lump Sum premiums.
If your client’s policy includes:
then the Eligible Lump Sum Plan(s) premium will receive the Bundled Discount of 12.5%.

AIA Health Insurance (previously myOwn health insurance) is AIA’s health insurance option to increase your clients’ coverage providing them with greater options. If your client is insured under an AIA Health Insurance or myOwn policy, their Priority Protection premium (exclusive of stamp duty, premium frequency charge, health loadings and policy fee) may be discounted by 5% as long as AIA Vitality remains attached to the AIA Health Insurance or myOwn policy.
AIA Vitality is our science-backed health and wellbeing program that helps clients to improve their health, and rewards them for it.
Having, and actively engaging in, AIA Vitality can see your clients reach up to 20% discount on their lump sum, IP and Business Expenses premiums. What’s great is that your client will automatically receive a 17.5% discount on their new lump sum premiums and a 7.5% discount on their IP and Business Expenses premiums for the first 12 months of their policy.
In addition to the discounts, your clients can earn up to $500 in retail shopping vouchers each membership year. The vouchers can be used across a range of our Shopping Rewards partners including Woolworths, Myer and rebel. Members can also earn $5 a week in Active Benefits rewards.
Members earn AIA Vitality Points by learning about and improving their current state of health in areas such as nutrition, exercise and mental wellbeing.
Earning Points also contributes to a member’s AIA Vitality Status (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum). A member’s AIA Vitality Status determines the level of discount a member is able to receive on some of AIA Vitality’s rewards including insurance premiums.
Access to AIA Vitality is available with eligible AIA Health Insurance and standalone Priority Protection policies.
By having a holistic health and life insurance offer, not only will your clients benefit from accessing many discounts, they will be able to manage their life and health insurance needs with one company, while also gaining the rewards provided by AIA Vitality.
