A financial adviser can help you decide the right level of cover for your needs.

  The cost of your premiums will depend on factors such as your age, gender, smoking status, occupation, lifestyle, medical history and the amount and period of cover you apply for.

  Yes, your policy is flexible and if you want to change your level of cover all you have to do is call NAB on 1300 411 535.
