Making an insurance claim

How the claims process works

Our insurance specialists are experienced in helping our members and their beneficiaries through the claims process. They’ll provide professional and patient assistance every step of the way.

  1. Once you tell us you'd like to make a claim, we'll appoint a case manager to support you through the process and send you your claims forms.
  2. You’ll need to post your completed forms and any relevant supporting documents to us.
  3. We’ll review your eligibility to claim.
  4. Our insurer will assess your claim.
  5. We’ll let you know the decision and final steps.

How long will it take to process your claim?

All claims are unique. The time it takes to process your claim will depend on your individual circumstances. To avoid delays, double-check that your forms are completed correctly, and provide any supporting documents requested as soon as you can. We will give you regular updates on the progress of your claim.

Types of claims

Total and Permanent Disablement

How to start your claim

To start the claim process, either call us on 1300 133 177 or log in to the TAL insurance portal via the insurance section in Member Online. Making a claim over the phone through the tele-claim process is usually the quickest option — the insurer will gather your information verbally and tailor the questions to your circumstances. That usually means fewer forms to complete and follow-ups to respond to.
