As an Aussie worker, you have a retirement superannuation account funded by your employer. If you become injured or ill, you may be able to access a range of insurance benefits contained within your superannuation fund membership.
Most people have insurance attached to their superannuation accounts. You may be eligible to claim when you are injured or ill and off work. Furthermore, your health condition does not have to be related to your job, as with a workers’ compensation claim.
