If I change from casual to non-casual work, do I automatically receive cover?

If you were initially employed on a casual basis, and you are later made permanent or employed on a contract (not as a casual) with the same employer, we may provide you with insurance cover, subject to certain eligibility rules from a date determined by GESB and the Insurer. If we do provide you with insurance cover, we will contact you to let you know and include details of any specific terms and conditions.

You can still apply for cover, but you would need to complete a full insurance application. You might need a medical assessment and your application will need to be accepted by our Insurer.

If you’re a casual employee, and you don’t meet the underwriting questions and acknowledge the declaration on the Insurance opt in for casual employees form, you aren’t eligible for basic cover.
