You can transfer your death, TPD, and IP cover from another super fund or a policy you hold directly with an Australian life insurer, into a Catholic Super account.
There’s no need for underwriting. Just note that some rules do apply.
We’ve provided a brief summary here, but you’ll find more detailed information in the Insurance in your super guide.
For full details on changing or cancelling your insurance cover and any conditions that apply, refer to our handy Insurance in your super guide for members.
To apply to transfer your cover you must:
To apply to transfer your cover, you need to complete the Transfer your insurance cover to Catholic Super form, and return it with a copy of your most recent benefit statement from your previous fund showing the type and amount of insurance you have.
The maximum amount of cover you can have with Catholic Super – including any amounts you transfer across from another insurer – is $1.2 million in total for death and TPD cover, and $15,000 per month in total for IP cover.
Please refer to the Insurance in your super guide for more information.
We’ll write to you once the transfer of your cover has been accepted. If your request is accepted, your death and TPD or IP cover in Catholic Super will become fixed cover.
Conditions apply to waiting periods, benefit limits and benefit periods.
Please refer to the Insurance in your super guide for more information.
We recommend that you wait until after we’ve written to you to say your transfer of cover has been accepted before you cancel your other cover.
This will help to ensure you don’t find yourself without insurance cover for any period.
If your cover with your other provider continues, is reinstated, or if you exercise a continuation option, you won’t be able to make a claim under your Catholic Super policy for the amount of the transferred cover.
