If you can’t work due to an illness or injury, our expert superannuation lawyers help you make an insurance claim through your Super or other insurance policy, on a 100% No Win No Fee basis.
You could make a superannuation claim through your disability or life insurance policies and get a lump sum payment when you can’t work due to an injury or illness.
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.
Insurance claims can be complicated but worth pursuing, with lump-sum payouts ranging between $1 million and $ 5,000 (as a rough guide). So, our dedicated insurance lawyers will help you make a claim to access your superannuation insurance benefits, 100% no win, no fee.

You could still have a claim, no matter how you acquired your illness, injury, or mental health condition. People on a disability pension, receiving NDIS, with a worker’s compensation or car accident claim, and those with a severe medical condition preventing them from working could all have a viable claim.

The number and type of Superannuation and insurance claims you can have are depend on the insurance cover contained within your Super policy. These could include:
Waiting periods can apply before you lodge a claim with your Superannuation provider. The period may vary depending on the type of claim and the nature of your illness or injury. Our experienced legal team help you understand your unique situation when contacting us.
When you get paid a benefit from an insurance claim, the money you receive is not taken from the funds in your existing Super account. Your payout will be taken from an insurance policy contained within your Superannuation – you can relax knowing your current Super balance won’t be impacted by your claim.
If this is your situation, you may have a viable claim.

There are different terms and conditions in each insurance policy. However, for your claim to be successful, you’ll need to prove that you’ve been unable to work for at least 3 or 6 months due to an injury or illness. Generally, you must prove the following:
Your superannuation fund’s most recent member statement may tell you what level of Income Protection or Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) coverage you have. For private policies, your insurance policy schedule will confirm your coverage.

Superannuation is a type of long-term savings scheme designed to provide Australians with a reliable source of income during retirement. This programme is subject to certain legal obligations because it is controlled by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and has government regulations.
One of these requirements is your employer paying compulsory superannuation contributions. Another is the responsible management of your superannuation fund, thus ensuring you have protected retirement savings.
When you have a successful super injury claim, the value of your lump sum payment relies on several factors including:
The type of insurance claim
Your current salary
Your age at the time of injury
The value of your insurance cover
