Netwealth has increased both the medical and financial limits on its SuperWrap insurance product, according to director of distribution and marketing Matt Heine.
The maximum sum insured for the (short-form personal statement) for death and total and permanent disablement (TPD) benefits has been increased to $1 million, while members below the age of 40 will no longer require medicals for personal insurance applications up to $2.5 million.
In addition, Heine said under the new arrangement, members can apply for higher levels of cover without needing to complete additional medical examinations, blood tests or personal medical attendant reports.
The new limits also eliminate the need to complete longer application forms, making the process even easier, fast tracking approvals, he said.
"For the first time we will also be introducing age-based non medical limits for corporate and employer plans for death and TPD cover.
"Previously these were non-aged based and associated with much higher non medical limits, especially in the age group up to age 45," he said.
Australia’s average superannuation balance has climbed to a record high, with women’s savings share rising and reliance on the age pension falling.
APRA has softened several governance reform proposals following extensive consultation with banks, insurers, and super funds across Australia.
The super fund’s CEO has confirmed he will finish his role in 2026.
New data shows millions of Australians have little idea how their super funds have performed over the past year.
