Life Insurance Cover
Members of AMIST Super are automatically provided with Life Insurance cover from the date that they commence employment and their employer makes the first “on-time” contribution (within 28 days of the end of the relevant quarter).

However, an application for cover may be made by completing the Application for Insurance Cover and accompanying Group Risk Personal Statement.

(at a cost of $3.00 per week).
How much Life Insurance cover is provided?
The amount of cover provided is based on a member’s age at the time of death and the number of units of cover held. The table below shows the cover for each age range and number of units held.
