Claims

Information about our claims philosophy, which is all about paying valid claims in a timely manner, assessing each one on its merits and being genuine in our approach.

We get people back to work faster

Our focus is on rehabilitation, and we’ll work in partnership with medical practitioners and employers to help claimants to return to work. 

An assessment of an individual’s social situation, psychological factors and other health conditions, helps to ensure we draw on best practice to achieve success. 

With 111 years of combined occupational rehabilitation experience, our experienced team includes occupational therapists, rehabilitation counsellors, a physiotherapist, and registered nurse.

Underwriting

You need underwriting to be quick, painless and tailored to the individual needs of your clients. We get that.

We offer you direct access to our team of expert underwriters for explanations and assistance. Together they’ll help you navigate large and complex cases through the underwriting process.

We’re also in the unique position to be able to offer you a pre-assessment form. Meaning as you identify any potential issues with your client’s circumstances, you can position any alteration of terms sooner.

For us, it’s about common sense and looking for innovative solutions and alternatives, while ensuring we’re transparent, flexible and competitive. It’s also about treating each client on an individual basis, taking into account their unique circumstances.

Commission

Weekly Commissions

To help you receive more regular income and improve the cash flow of your business, we process commission payments weekly. This means money in your back pocket, more often. Commission payments occur weekly, on every Thursday (excluding EOFY and end of calendar year). Please note that commissions for all previous CommInsure products are paid fortnightly.

Payment Of Commission While Waiting On Rollovers

AIA Australia will pay your commission upfront rather than waiting to receive the initial premium from the client’s complying superannuation rollover payment. Commission will only be advanced for 15% rebate policies paid for via rollover benefit transfer from a compliant fund. If, for whatever reason, the policy does not go ahead we will recoup the funds in subsequent commission runs as per our standard claw back process. We know that sometimes rollovers can take some time to complete, and so will allow 120 days from the commencement of the policy before we cancel and commence the claw back process. Please note that a policy schedule will not be sent to your client until the policy is in force, and the premium has been received.
