Life Insurance

Help secure your family's future with the world’s #1 insurance brand1

Nothing’s worth more than you. Especially to them. Get Allianz Life Insurance online instantly.2 No medical tests required.

What is life insurance and why is it important?

Life insurance is a way of helping to look after your family's financial future and may provide much needed security in times of uncertainty.

Our Life Insurance pays a lump sum in the event of your death or if you’re diagnosed with a Terminal Illness,3 which can help support your family when you’re no longer around to provide for them. The lump sum payment can be used for any purpose and can help your loved ones cover things like debts and living expenses at a time when they may need it most.

When you take out Life cover,3 you have the option of applying for Critical Illness cover4 and Permanently Unable to Work cover5 at an added cost, which can help preserve your way of life.

You’re also entitled to a 30-day cooling off period if you change your mind.6

Frequently asked questions

No, the Allianz Life Plan product is not suitable for use within a SMSF.

Allianz Life Plan is available in addition to any life insurance you may have in superannuation. Maximum cover amounts apply.7

If you’re not sure of the level of cover provided through your superannuation fund, you may want to speak to the fund provider, a financial adviser, or an accountant.

Self-employed people face similar needs in many instances to employed people – and may have some additional challenges. Self-employed people may have business partners, personal guarantees on business loans as well as the standard mortgage, debts and dependents to consider. In addition, many self-employed people will find that their superannuation fund may not provide insurance.

We recommend you seek advice from a financial adviser on whether you need life insurance and how life insurance can fit into your personal financial plan.

Yes, provided at the time of application for insurance you were permanently residing in Australia and were an Australian or New Zealand citizen or held an Australian Permanent Residency Visa. However, the policy won’t cover you if any of the policy exclusions apply. For example, we won’t pay any benefits if a claim arises because you didn’t follow advice issued by the Australian Government relating to an overseas location. This includes travelling when a ‘Reconsider your need to travel’ or ‘Do not travel’ alert is in place and not taking action to minimise or avoid any potential claim. See the Product Disclosure Statement for further details.

If you’re an existing Allianz Life Insurance customer, call us on 13 1000 or +61 2 8988 9581 (if calling from outside Australia), to understand whether travelling overseas affects your policy.

Your Allianz Life Insurance policy doesn’t contain a specific policy exclusion for COVID-19 or for taking the COVID-19 vaccine. However, the policy won’t cover you if any of the policy exclusions apply. For example, your policy requires that you follow travel advice issued by the Australian Government relating to any overseas location.

If you apply for a new policy with us, we’ll assess you based on your individual health situation, lifestyle and occupation activities, and your policy documentation will confirm what cover you hold with us.

No, our premiums are stepped and increase each year based on your age, any increases in premium rates and policy fees, and due to increases in your cover amounts, such as by Inflation Proofing Increases.11

Premium rates and policy fees aren't guaranteed and may change from time to time. Any change we make must apply to a group, for example, all 35 year-old females and won’t be made to an individual policy. Some, but not all, of the factors we’ll consider when determining price increases include anticipated future claims experience, and our internal and external costs. Any changes will apply from your next Policy Anniversary. We’ll let you know of any increases in your annual notice, at least 30 days before the new premium rates or policy fees apply.

If you have any questions about future premiums or inflation proofing increases, contact us on 13 1000.

Yes. If you’ve smoked tobacco or any other substance in the last 12 months, then you must tell us when you apply for insurance.
No, only the Policy Owners have access to your Life Insurance Policy. Policy Owners have full rights over the policy including cancellation, and they would receive any death benefit paid. To discuss adding an additional Policy Owner to your policy, call us on 13 1000 or access the Addition of Policy Owner form.

We want to help you keep your valuable life insurance cover in place if you’re experiencing financial hardship.

If you’re concerned about meeting your premium payments, contact us on 13 1000 to discuss what options are available to you.

No, the Allianz Life Plan isn't an investment product and is only designed to pay a lump sum benefit7,8 in the event of a life insured’s death, Terminal Illness,3 Critical Illness4 or becoming Permanently Unable to Work.5 If you cancel this policy at any time other than during the cooling off period, you won’t get any money back on premiums paid while you’re covered by the policy.
