  • Essential cover. If you work less than 20 hours a week, paid or unpaid, and you suffer a disability and are not able to perform certain essential day-to-day activities, a monthly income benefit will be paid.

Life insurance

Medibank’s life insurance is a flexible policy with four optional components:

  • Life cover. Provides a lump sum payment of up to $2.5 million if you die or are diagnosed with a terminal illness. Includes early payment for funeral expenses, terminal illness benefits, accidental injury benefits and guaranteed renewal for life.
  • Trauma cover. Provides a lump sum payment of up to $500,000 if you suffer a specified condition including a heart attack or stroke.

Funeral insurance

Medibank’s funeral insurance provides your loved ones with a lump sum benefit from $3,000 up to $15,000 if you die, which can be put towards the cost of your funeral or other debts and expenses. The cost of the premiums reduces by 3% every five years you hold your policy and the benefit your family receives will never be less than the premiums you pay.
