Adviser Resources
Supporting you through COVID-19 and beyond
Adviser COVID-19 resource centre
We want to assure advisers that we’re here to help you get the most out of your cover, just like we’ve always been, through floods, bushfires and now pandemics.
We’ve collected all of our resources in one handy location below to help you communicate with your clients and give you access to helpful tools and content so you can continue to provide financial security for your clients and their families when it's needed most.
Affordability options to help customers during COVID-19
As an insurer, we understand that following the sudden shutdown of many parts of our economy and the resulting sharp increase in unemployment and decline in cash flow for many businesses, many Australians will look to reduce household and personal expenditure. We also know that customers value the importance of insurance and want to retain their cover more than ever.
With this context, we have short term premium relief options for both Zurich and OnePath Life Customers to help assist advisers and customers with premium payments in the face of this global pandemic.
Zurich Premium Relief Options
- New flexible cover underwriting offer
- Increased flexibility on Premium and cover holds (referred to as a Premium holiday) provision
OnePath's Premium Affordability Options
- Premium and Cover Suspension (Cover Suspension)
- Cover bounce back
Get help with a claim
We’ve put measures in place to make sure that we continue to support new claims, and offer extra help for customers currently receiving income protection benefits. A claim resulting from you contracting COVID-19 will be assessed in the same way as other injuries and illnesses. If you have any questions or need to make a claim, please contact us – we’re here to help.
