Lock in your premium

You can keep your premium the same as the previous year by opting into the Premium Freeze benefit. This will reduce your cover amount for the next year. This may help with your budget right now. If you’re not eligible for Premium Freeze, you can still choose to reduce your cover at any time.

What you need to know

  • The amount of cover you have (sum insured) affects how much you pay.
  • Depending on your premium type, your premiums may increase as you get older or if your cover increases.
  • To keep your premiums the same, your amount of cover needs to reduce.
  • The amount you need to reduce your cover by depends on various things including benefit type, age, and gender.
  • If you have more than one benefit on your policy, all eligible benefits will reduce by the same percentage.

  • If you ask to make this change, we will send you a quote within seven business days. You can review the quote before you decide. Note: The premiums remain the same for one year.

What you need to consider

  • Think about your personal situation before changing your cover.

  • If you reduce your cover now and want to increase it later, you will need to apply again. This process involves underwriting and approval.

  • When you reapply, we will look at your health, pastimes, and financial details.

  • You might not be able to get extra cover or it could cost more.

  • After you submit your request to reduce your cover, we’ll give you a quote to approve.

  • This change will lock in your current premiums for one year.

  • If you’re unsure, we suggest speaking to a financial adviser or contacting us.

  • This is a summary only and you should refer to the PDS for full details.

More complex needs?

You should also speak to a financial adviser if, for example:

  • You have a policy owned by a company, or
  • You have more than one person insured under the same policy.
If you don’t have a financial adviser, you can follow the link below to find one.
