What is Life Insurance?

Life insurance can be thought of a financial safety net for your loved ones. You pay regular premiums, and in return, your beneficiaries will receive a lump sum payment when you die. If you are diagnosed terminally ill after 12 months of having cover, you may receive an early benefit payout.
These payments can be used in any way you or your beneficiaries see fit. It could help to cover medical bills, day-to-day living costs or funeral expenses. It could help your family maintain their lifestyle, or pay off the mortgage. You choose the type of cover you want and the amount of insurance you need to protect your family financially, if the worst should happen.

Why Life Insurance?

You can help protect the life you’re building and your loved ones from financial hardship with Suncorp Life Protect insurance. With a lump sum payment from $100,000 up to $1 million, if you die or become terminally ill, you could feel more relaxed knowing that your loved ones could be spared the financial strain of keeping the household running.

What's included in Suncorp Life Protect Insurance?

Suncorp Life Protect Insurance covers your death by accident, illness and natural causes. Intentional self-inflicted acts, such as suicide, are also covered after having the policy for 13 months. Here’s how it works:

Payout is generally a tax-free* lump sum, with no restrictions on how it's spent

You select how much you need based on your individual circumstance. Consider your own circumstances and the level of cover you may need. We offer cover between $100,000 and $1 million. Unsure how much you might need? It is important to choose the right amount of life cover to help protect your family.

$10,000 early payout for Funeral costs

Our Funeral Advancement Benefit usually pays out within 24 hours of receiving your death certificate and completed claim form, to help with the costs of your funeral or other immediate expenses.

You could receive your payout early if you're diagnosed with a terminal illness

If a registered doctor diagnoses you, we will advance your full payout. This could help you to arrange your financial affairs or make some lasting memories with your loved ones.

Approved claims generally paid out in 2 business days

Only ever deal with one dedicated claims manager. How to make a claim.

Nominate up to 5 beneficiaries

These are the people who will receive your payout.
