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 out of 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 Yes. 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.

Important information about this website
Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.
Some content on this site may be generated or supported by AI tools. You should verify details directly with the provider.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.
