Benefits of choosing Seniors Term Life Insurance
A flexible cover amount that suits you – choose how much you or your family will receive if you pass away or become terminally ill. You can set a benefit amount from $10,000 up to $100,000.
Cover for when you need it most. We know that the older you get, the more you have to protect. That’s why our cover is designed for people aged 45 to 79, protecting you and your family for the next 20 years or until you turn 85 – whichever comes first.
Immediate cover. Once your policy is set up, you’ll be covered straight away for death by any cause, and for terminal illness (excluding suicide for the first 13 months).
20% advance payout to cover funeral costs. When your family makes a claim, we’ll give them 20% of the benefit amount in advance, so they won’t have to worry about the cost of your funeral or other immediate expenses.
Triple payout for Accidental Death. Your family’s benefit amount will be tripled if you pass away from an accident, helping with any last-minute expenses they might face.
Easy to apply with no medicals. Simply answer eight questions about your medical history over the phone. Once approved, you can get covered in minutes.
We’ll keep your premiums manageable. Unlike some life insurance policies, your annual premium increase won’t be based on your age which will help with budgeting later in life. Plus, we offer lower starting premiums for non-smokers.
Your own Australia-based personal claims specialist. If you or your family need to make a claim, we’ll assign one of our local claims specialists to look after everything. No need to explain things to multiple people.

Essential Life Insurance information
Life insurance is a lump-sum payment that you or your family receive if you pass away or become terminally ill. It’s one way of making sure that your loved ones won’t have to worry about financial troubles when you’re gone.
As we get older, our insurance needs change too. That means it’s important to know about the different types of life insurance products available and which one works best for your situation.
Term life insurance is different to traditional (whole) life insurance. Find out what the differences are and how term life insurance can help at your life stage.
Life insurance pays out a lump-sum benefit to your family when you pass away or become terminally ill. The process usually starts by getting approved by an insurer and then setting your benefit amount.
Here is a brief overview of what you should consider at each age bracket when setting a suitable benefit amount.
There is no set price for life insurance as each policy is tailored by you to your specific needs and circumstances. Learn how your premiums are calculated.
Life insurance can benefit you and your family when the unexpected happens by acting as a financial buffer for any immediate bills if you were to pass away or suffer from a terminal illness, which can be of growing concern for all of us as we get older.
Here’s a brief overview of the tax implications you should consider around life insurance and other related products, especially as you get older.
Life insurance covers death by any cause (although suicide is usually excluded for a set period of time) or if you were to suffer a terminal illness where the doctor advises that you have 12 months or less to live.
The process of buying insurance will be different depending on whether you choose to do it yourself or go through a broker or advisor. Here are some things to keep in mind about each method.
