Are you eligible?


To be eligible for lower premium rates, you must meet the following criteria:

The Insurer has provided special approval for the following occupations as meeting the requirements for working in an office environment and sedentary capacity, even though they appear to be non office-based roles: Specialist Medical Practitioners, General Medical Practitioners, Legal Professionals, Solicitors, Dental Practitioners, Legislators, Judicial and Other Legal Professionals, Pharmacists and School Principals. (Note, Nurses and School Teachers do not meet the requirement of working in an office environment and sedentary capacity).
The duties of my occupation are limited to professional, managerial, administrative, clerical, secretarial or similar, white collar nature tasks which do not involve manual work and I spend a minimum of 80% of my working hours in an office environment (excluding travel time from office to office). *

I work at least 0.6 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE). *
If you work part time, you could still be eligible to apply if your pro rata income is $100,000 p.a. or more and you work at least 0.6 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE). For example, if you work three days a week and earn $63,000 p.a., your FTE would be $105,000 p.a., which is more than the $100,000 minimum amount.
I earn a gross income of $100,000 p.a. or, if part time, earn at least the FTE of $100,000 p.a. pro-rata. *
Select all of the categories below that apply to you *

Declaration *

  • I have read the Insurance and your super brochure and understand this brochure serves as general information only and does not contain financial advice
  • I declare that the information provided on this form is true and correct
  • I understand that an application for a change in occupation category will only come into effect upon acceptance by the Insurer, AIA Australia Limited, and that my cover will be fixed until I change it; however, when I turn 61, any TPD amount insured will reduce linearly on each birthday until it is $10,000 at age 65. It will remain at this amount until I turn 67, when it will reduce to zero
  • I authorise the Insurer to change my insurance details as indicated on this form, but understand this is at the Insurer’s discretion and I may be required to provide additional information before my cover is changed

Duty to take reasonable care *

Your duty to take reasonable care

When applying for insurance, there is a legal duty to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation to the Insurer before the contract of insurance is entered into.

A misrepresentation is a false answer, an answer that is only partially true, or an answer which does not fairly reflect the truth.

This duty applies to a new contract of insurance and also applies when extending or making changes to existing insurance, and reinstating insurance.

If you do not meet your duty

If you do not meet your legal duty, this can have serious impacts on your insurance. There are different remedies that may be available to the Insurer. These are set out in the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth). These are intended to put the Insurer in the position they have been in if the duty had been met.

Your cover could be avoided (treated as if it never existed), or its terms may be varied. This may also result in a claim being declined or a benefit being reduced.

Before the Insurer exercise any of these remedies, the Insurer will explain their reasons and what you can do if you disagree.

Please note that there may be circumstances where the Insurer later investigate whether the information given to us or the Insurer was true. For example, the Insurer may do this when a claim is made.

Guidance for answering our questions

You are responsible for the information provided to us or the Insurer. When answering their questions, please:

  • Think carefully about each question before you answer. If you are unsure of the meaning of any question, please ask us or the Insurer before you respond
  • Answer every question
  • Answer truthfully, accurately and completely. If you are unsure about whether you should include information, please include it
  • Review your application carefully before it is submitted. If someone else helped prepare your application (for example, your adviser), please check every answer (and if necessary, make any corrections) before the application is submitted

Changes before your cover starts

Before your cover starts, the Insurer may ask about any changes that mean you would now answer our questions differently. As any changes might require further assessment or investigation, it could save time if you let us or the Insurer know about any changes when they happen.

If you need help

It’s important that you understand this information and the questions the Insurer ask. Ask us, the Insurer or a person you trust, such as your adviser for help if you have difficulty understanding the process of buying insurance or answering our questions.

If you’re having difficulty due to a disability, understanding English or for any other reason, we’re here to help. If you want, you can have a support person you trust with you.

Notifying the insurer

If, after the cover starts, you think you may not have met your duty, please contact us or the Insurer immediately and we’ll let you know whether it has any impact on the cover

Refer to the Insurance and your super brochure to understand more about our insurance cover.
