Care in bed with Comminsure
Large professional services fund Care Super has moved to upgrade its insurance offering to members via a new arrangement with Comminsure.
Care announced in early June that it had retained to provide death, total and permanent disablement (TPD) cover and income protection cover following an extensive tender process facilitated by .
Care chief executive said that under the new arrangements, Care members who currently have death and TPD insurance cover on a unitised basis will see an increase in their level of cover from July 1.
Lander said members on standard unitised cover could now switch to fixed cover so that their cover does not reduce as they age.
“In addition, we will offer new members a choice of insurance packages upon joining the fund, including income protection cover without going through underwriting.”
Lander said that, to address the under-insurance issue, there had been a small increase in the premium payable, however the benefit levels secured far outweighed the increase.

AustralianSuper CEO Paul Schroder has said the fund will stay globally diversified but could tip more money into Australia if governments speed up decisions and provide clearer, long-term settings – warning any mandated local investment quota would be “a disaster”.
The Super Members Council (SMC) has called for streamlined super reporting to cut costs, boost investment flows, and strengthen retirement outcomes.
AustralianSuper’s reliance on unlisted assets dragged on performance over the past year, as the rally in listed markets left funds more heavily weighted to equities outperforming their peers.
IFM Investors has urged for government-industry collaboration to accelerate projects, unlock capital, and deliver long-term returns for Australians.
