    Life Insurance

    Protect your loved ones' future if you pass away or are diagnosed with a terminal illness.

    What is life insurance and why do you need it? 

    Life does not always go to plan. At AIA, we believe in the power of insurance to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Having life insurance protects your loved ones' future by providing them with a lump sum or monthly payment if you pass away or are diagnosed with a terminal illness. We understand everyone's circumstances are different, that's why AIA offers a range of personal life insurance options designed to meet your needs.

    From basic cover up to $300,000 with Starter Plans to more comprehensive life cover with no maximum amount, compare personal life insurance options to find what's right for you.

    AIA Vitality is our personalised, science backed health and wellbeing programme that supports you every day to make healthier lifestyle choices. It takes you on a journey to better health - where you get to know your health, improve it, and enjoy the rewards for doing so.

    Add AIA Vitality when you purchase life insurance for $11.50 per month to receive:

    • an initial 10% premium discount* on your first year's premium
    • earn up to $560 in vouchers or Airpoints Dollars™ per membership year
    • exclusive rewards and discounts from our partners.

    What do I need to know before buying life insurance?

    Considerations when you’re looking to purchase life insurance cover:

    • An insurance adviser can help guide you through your questions and help you decide what level and type of cover you need, and how your cover can be adapted to suit your needs
    • Know how much cover you need by considering your family situation; your debt (mortgage, personal loans, etc.) and other factors, such as being the owner of a business and what cover is needed to protect it.
    • Know what the policy covers and what it does not cover. Know what the definitions in the policy means. These can differ depending on the insurance company that provides your cover.

    What are the advantages of life insurance?
    • It protects your loved ones futures by providing them with a lump sum payment if you pass away, or are diagnosed with a terminal illness.
    • It can protect your business if you or a key person passes away or are diagnosed with a terminal illness.
    • The payment can be used for anything. For example: Paying a mortgage; taking time off work to take care of yourself if you are terminally ill; funeral costs; etc.
    • Life insurance is your way of looking after your loved ones when you’re gone.
    • There are built-in benefits in addition to the life cover payment, such as:
      • terminal illness benefit
      • financial and legal advice benefit
      • parents grieving benefit; etc,

    At what age should you get life insurance?

    There is no specific age at which you should get life insurance; rather it would depend on your

    • personal circumstances
    • family circumstances
    • financial responsibilities.

    If you have a mortgage, a spouse and children or others that depend on you financially, or if you own a business, you may want to consider having life insurance.

    Note: There are minimum - maximum eligible ages for insurance products.


    What is a good life insurance amount to be covered for?

    The amount of life insurance you need would depend on individual circumstances. It is recommended that you discuss this with an insurance adviser who will then be able to help you work out what amount you should be covered for.


    What if I’m not eligible for a Starter Plan?

    We still might be able to offer you cover through our AIA Living and AIA Health ranges. To discuss your needs in more detail talk to us via Live Chat Mon-Fri (8:30am - 5:30pm).


    Will I still be covered if I travel or move overseas?

    Life Cover provides worldwide cover. Whether you’re at home, travelling or living overseas for any period, you remain insured.


    Do AIA Life Cover products and Starter Plans provide cover if I need to make a claim because of COVID-19?

    AIA Life Cover products and Starter Plans do not contain exclusions for pandemics. If you need to make a claim related to COVID-19, as with any other claim, you will need to meet the ordinary eligibility requirements for your cover.


    Can I add my partner to my Starter Plan?

    AIA Starter plans are for individuals only. However, you can add your partner as an additional policy owner after your plan has been issued. This is recommended because having them as an additional owner means they can assist you with the maintenance of your plan. In the event a claim is required, they are also able to lodge and receive claim benefits.

    Why do I need life insurance?
    • It protects your loved ones futures by providing them with a lump sum payment if you pass away, or are diagnosed with a terminal illness.
    • If you are a business owner, it can protect your business if you or a key person passes away or is diagnosed with a terminal illness.
    • The payment can be used for anything. For example: Paying a mortgage, taking time off work to take care of you if you are terminally ill, funeral costs, etc.

    Is life insurance necessary for a single person?

    Whether you are single or not, it remains important to consider your financial and other responsibilities and what may happen in the event of your death. Consider these:

    • Funeral expenses
    • Mortgage and other repayments such as credit cards and personal loans

    You may be a business owner or part-owner with financial responsibilities that will remain even if you are diagnosed as terminally ill or pass away.


    When should I get life insurance?

    It would depend on your personal and family circumstances and your financial responsibilities. If you have a mortgage, a spouse and children or others that depend on you financially, or if you own a business, you may want to consider having life insurance.


    What is the difference between a Policy Owner and Life Assured?

    The Policy Owner owns and controls the policy and is responsible for payment of premiums. The Life Assured is the person who has been insured under the policy.

    If you need to make any changes to a policy, we require written authority from the Policy Owner.


    Why is it important to have a Will?

    A Will is your chance to say what you want to happen to your estate after you have died. You can choose an executor and beneficiaries and decide how your assets are to be distributed.
