Insurance fees

Affordable Insurance fees

We offer competitive fees for Death and TPD insurance. We’re able to do this as we purchase “group” insurance on behalf of our members. These fees are not generally available to the general public.

Insurance fees are paid through your super account

Your REI Super insurance fees are paid through your super account. So you don’t have to worry about paying another monthly bill and still have peace of mind knowing that you are covered.

As insurance fees are paid from your superannuation savings, your superannuation balance will reduce by the amount of insurance fees you pay, usually deducted at the end of each month.

Level of cover

We offer both unitised and fixed levels of cover. The insurance fees you pay will differ depending on which level of insurance cover you take.

Unitised cover 

With unitised cover, you pay a set price for each unit of cover you hold. However the value of the benefit will increase and decrease as you get older. Our default insurance covers a minimum of 4 units. You may apply to increase your level of cover at any time to a maximum of 20 units.

 Occupation category Death and TPD   Death only cover
White Collar$1.80 per week $0.92 per week
Blue Collar$3.53 per week $1.79 per week

Fixed cover 

With this option you can choose to keep your level of cover the same. However the amount you pay for the insurance increases as you get older.
