Finder Score - Life Insurance

Life Insurance is a little complicated and a lot overwhelming. That's why we made the Finder Score, to make it easier to compare Life Insurance products against each other. Our experts analysed over 30 products and gave each one a score between 1 and 10.

But a higher score doesn't always mean a product is better for you. Your situation is unique, so your policy choice will be too. Don't think of Finder Score as the final word, but as a good place to start your life insurance comparison.

Key features of AAMI Life Cover

You can apply for any of the AAMI life insurance policies without the need for a blood or medical test. Your application is assessed based on your health, age and occupation, which determines your level of risk and how much you pay for your premiums. When you apply for life insurance with AAMI Life, you're entitled to the following features:

  • Death benefit up to $1,500,000. The death benefit of an AAMI Life insurance policy pays your family a benefit amount if you die.
  • Terminal illness benefit up to $1,500,000. If you are diagnosed with a terminal illness, your beneficiary can make a claim with AAMI Life and receive a lump sum benefit amount to help you finalise your financial affairs and estate.
  • Optional Severity Based Illness Cover. An optional add-on to your life cover. If you are diagnosed with an insured condition or undergoing an insured medical procedure, you'll receive a lump sum benefit up to a maximum of $250,000 from the total life benefit amount. Insured conditions can include cancer of specific critera, skin melanonma and more. See the current PDS on the provider site for the full list.
  • Advanced Payout benefit. When an AAMI Life Insurance claim is approved an advanced payout of up to $10,000 can be made available with the balance of the benefit amount payable once AAMI Life has received all of the claims requirements and documentation. The advance payout can help your family with any immediate costs, such as expense of legal fees.
  • Lifestyle increase benefit. As you move through life, your commitments and obligations change depending which life stage you are in. These life stages range from getting married to having a child, from buying a new home to paying for your children's education. Your AAMI life insurance can take this journey with you. If you are under the age of 60, AAMI Life allows you to increase your benefit amount by $100,000 or 20% of the AAMI Comprehensive Life Cover benefit amount each year following a significant life event and without requiring any new medical information.
  • Automatic indexation of your benefit amount. AAMI Life automatically increases your benefit amount by the CPI or 5%, whichever is greater. This keeps your benefit amount relevant to current costs at the time of the payout.

AAMI Income Protection Insurance

AAMI's income protection insurance product pays a benefit of up to $10,000 per month to help you maintain your household cash-flow if you are unable to work because of illness or injury. You can choose a benefit period up to 5 years. You don't have to have any medical tests, and you can pay your premiums fortnightly, monthly or annually.

Features of AAMI Income Protection Insurance

  • Benefit of up to $10,000. In the event that you are forced to take time out of work as a result of injury or illness, AAMI Life will provide up to 75% of your income to a maximum of $10,000 a month.
  • Choice of four benefit period options. AAMI Life offers either a 6-, 12-, 24-month or 5-year benefit period. One year benefit periods can bring attractive premium discounts.
  • Waiver of premiums during waiting period. Benefit payments will commence after just 30 days and AAMI Life will waive your premium payments during this period.
  • Limited medical underwriting. In comparison to many other insurance policies, AAMI Life does not require applicants to undertake any medical or blood tests to purchase cover.
  • Cooling-off period. All AAMI Life policies offer a 30-day cooling-off period, giving you the opportunity to cancel your policy and receive a full premium refund if you are not satisfied with the cover provided, as long as you haven't made a claim.
  • Guaranteed cover to 65. AAMI Income protection is guaranteed to remain in force until your 65th birthday, regardless of whether or not your health deteriorates, as long as you continue to pay your premiums when due.
  • Benefit indexation. Your AAMI income protection policy increases automatically each year to ensure it remains in line with inflation.
