ACCUMULATION 1

Who provides this insurance?

The insurance component that is paid upon death or disablement will be subject to the terms and conditions in the group insurance policies.

Important definitions

What types of insurance cover are available? There are three types of insurance cover available for Accumulation 1 members: Death-only cover, Death and Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD) cover, and Income Protection cover.

What do we mean by ‘default insurance’ and ‘automatic cover’? Some of our communications refer to ‘default insurance’ or ‘automatic cover’. When we refer to ‘default insurance’ or ‘automatic cover’ we are referring to Death-only or Death and TPD insurance cover you receive upon joining the Fund.

Do you need insurance cover? Having the right type and level of insurance cover to protect yourself and your family is an important part of planning for the future. Think about how you or your family might cope financially if you were unable to work temporarily or permanently due to injury or illness or in the event that you die.

The ‘Important definitions’ section at the end of this document explains the meaning of certain important terms which appear in italics within this document.

ACCUMULATION 1

How do you obtain my insurance cover? There are two ways in which you can obtain your insurance cover: On joining the Fund (‘automatic cover’) and/or Applying for insurance cover.

AA AA

Automatic cover Automatic cover is insurance you receive when you become a member (provided you meet the eligibility criteria) and you do not need to go through any underwriting. Members who meet the eligibility criteria will receive: Members aged less than 70: one unit of Death and TPD cover Members aged 70 to 74: one unit of Death-only cover You can opt out of automatic cover or choose to reduce your Death and TPD cover to Death-only cover when you join UniSuper by completing the appropriate sections on the Accumulation 1 application form in the relevant PDS, or at any time in the future by writing to us. However, if you wish to take up cover at a later date, you will need to be underwritten and accepted by the Insurer.

Applying for insurance If you are not eligible for default insurance or would like to increase your levels of cover, you can apply for additional Death-only, Death and Total & Permanent Disablement and Income Protection cover.

Additional Death and TPD cover without medical evidence Upon joining, members who are eligible for automatic cover have the ability to increase their amount of insurance cover. It can be increased from one unit to either two units or three units of the same type of cover without providing health evidence to the Insurer. You need to apply within 180 days of first becoming eligible to join UniSuper by completing the appropriate section on the Accumulation 1 application form and: an on-time employer contribution is made in respect of you within 180 days of you becoming first eligible to join UniSuper, and you are in active employment on the date that cover commences.

AA AA

If you are not in active employment on the date cover commences you will only be entitled to Limited TPD cover for a 12-month period. Your cover will revert to standard TPD cover on the date you are in active employment after the end of the 12-month period. If you meet the eligibility requirements for Death and TPD cover but UniSuper does not receive an employer contribution within 180 days of you being first eligible to join UniSuper, you will be entitled to one unit of Death cover from the first day of the period for which your first employer contribution relates, and limited TPD cover for a 12-month period. Your cover will revert to standard TPD cover on the date you are in active employment after the end of the12-month period.

Income Protection cover without medical evidence You can apply for Income Protection cover without the need to provide medical evidence if you apply within the first 180 days of becoming first eligible to join UniSuper by completing the appropriate section of the Accumulation 1 application form and: an on-time employer contribution is made in respect of you within 180 days of you becoming first eligible to join UniSuper; and you are in active employment on the date that cover commences UniSuper.

AA AA

If you are not in active employment on the date that cover commences, you will only be entitled to Limited Income Protection cover for a 12-month period. Your cover will revert to standard Income Protection cover on the date that you are in active employment after the end of the 12-month period. If joining outside 180 days of being first eligible to join UniSuper, full underwriting is required.

Insurance cover with medical evidence You can apply to: increase your Death and TPD cover or your Income Protection cover, or take out Death and TPD insurance cover if you do not meet the eligibility criteria for automatic cover, or wish to take up Death and TPD cover if you opted out when you first joined, or take out Income Protection cover if you did not elect to take up cover when you first joined.

Reducing or cancelling your cover will take effect from the later of the date the Trustee (or the Insurer, in the case of Death and TPD cover) receives notice in writing and, where applicable, the date nominated by you is the date you want your cover to reduce or cease.

Life Events cover UniSuper provides a straightforward process for members to increase their Death and TPD cover in the following circumstances: you purchase a home for your permanent residence and take out a mortgage on that residence, or you get married, or either you or your partner give birth to or adopt a child.

If you make a claim within the first six months of the date your increased cover commences under Life Events cover, the Life Events portion of your benefit will only be payable if the claim is the result of an ‘Accident’ (which means accidental injury causing death or TPD through visible, violent, external event to the body).

How do you make a claim? You must notify us as soon as reasonably possible of any claim or potential claim. To make a claim, you or your beneficiaries can call us on 1800 331 685. Any information required by the Insurer to assess the claim will also need to be provided, some of which will need to be provided at your own cost. If you or your beneficiaries do not agree with the Insurer’s decision in relation to the claim, you may ask for it to be reviewed by the Trustee. You can do this by contacting our us on 1800 331 685 or writing to: Complaints Officer UniSuper Level 35, 385 Bourke Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Once the claim is approved by the Insurer, the insurance proceeds will be paid to UniSuper and released to you if you have satisfied a condition of release. However, if you are claiming the benefit (and not your beneficiaries) and would prefer ongoing, regular payments, you may be eligible to use your lump sum benefit from your insurance cover to purchase a UniSuper Flexi Pension.

Is there a waiting period before insured benefits are paid? Death claims There is no waiting period to make a death claim. If you had Death cover at the date of your death, the insured benefit will be paid to your beneficiaries as a lump sum.

Terminal illness claims You will be eligible for a terminal illness benefit if the Insurer is satisfied that you meet the definition of terminal illness. There is no waiting period for a terminal illness claim. Payment of a terminal illness benefit is considered an advance payment of any Death cover you may have. If your insurance death benefit exceeds $3 million, the amount exceeding $3 million will be payable upon death, as a death benefit, in instances where a terminally ill member continues to be insured after the payment of a terminal illness benefit and subject to the premium for the death cover continues to be paid.

TPD claims You will be eligible for a TPD benefit if the Insurer is satisfied that you meet one of the criteria under the definition of TPD. In some cases, a waiting period of six months will apply. However, the Insurer will waive the waiting period where a member suffers a specific illness such as cancer, chronic renal failure, coronary artery bypass surgery, heart attack, major organ transplant surgery, stroke, transient ischaemic attacks, chronic liver or lung disease, major head trauma, severe burns or total deafness or blindness as defined within the policy. Given that the insurer must assess whether the condition is going to be total and permanent, the Insurer can generally take between three and six months to assess a lodged claim, depending on the nature and complexity of the claim.

Does cover continue if you make a claim? No. Your Death and TPD cover ceases when the Insurer approves your claim. If you subsequently return to work and wish to apply Death and TPD or Death-only insurance cover again, you will need to complete an application form and provide health evidence to the Insurer. If you have received a TPD benefit previously, you will only be eligible for Deathonly cover. If you lodge a claim for terminal illness benefit, you cease to be eligible for TPD cover (if applicable). If you have received a terminal illness benefit and you die, your beneficiaries may be able

to claim a residual death benefit amount. If you have ever received a terminal illness benefit, you will be ineligible to apply for Death and TPD insurance cover.

When does your Death and TPD cover cease? Your Death and TPD cover will cease on the earlier of the following events: you cease to satisfy the eligibility criteria for cover under the policy, you cease to be a UniSuper member, you advise UniSuper in writing that you want to cancel your cover (cover will stop on the day UniSuper receives your request or the date nominated by you, whichever is later), your account has insufficient funds to pay the insurance premiums. you join the armed forces of any country (the Australian Defence Force Reserve is excluded for this purpose), the Insurer admits your claim for a benefit, (unless it is a claim for a terminal illness benefit and you continue to be covered for a residual death benefit), you cease to satisfy the relevant conditions for continuation of cover whilst on employer approved leave, you reside overseas outside the Insurer’s agreed conditions, you cease to be an Australian citizen, a New Zealand citizen residing in Australia, a holder of an Australian permanent visa or a person who resides in Australia on an approved working visa you reach age 70 for TPD cover, you reach age 75 for Death-only cover, your superannuation benefit in UniSuper is less than $2,000 and you have not received any contributions or rollovers for 12 consecutive months, you die, you are the subject of a fraudulent claim, the Trustee gives the Insurer notice to the effect that it would like cover in respect of you to cease, or the Trustee terminates the policy with the Insurer.

Reinstatement of Death and TPD cover If your cover ceases because your Accumulation account has insufficient funds, or because your superannuation benefit in UniSuper is under $2,000 and no contributions or rollovers have been received for 12 consecutive months, your cover will be reinstated to the same level and type of cover it was previously. If an employer contribution is received after 180 days of your cover ceasing and you are in active employment on the date that cover recommences, you will be provided with one unit of Death cover and, for 12 months only, one unit of Limited TPD cover. Your cover will revert to standard Death and TPD cover on the date you are in active employment after the end of the 12-month period. Please note that this will be unitised cover, even if you previously selected fixed cover. If you are applying, entitled to or have been paid a TPD benefit under any superannuation or insured benefit arrangement, you will only be eligible for Death-only cover. You will not be eligible for reinstatement of Death-only or Death and TPD cover at all if you are applying for, are entitled to, or have been paid a terminal illness benefit from any superannuation fund or insured benefit arrangement. In all other circumstances where cover ceases, reinstatement is subject to the receipt of any information required by the Insurer. Reinstated cover is subject to the imposition of any terms, conditions or restrictions the Insurer considers appropriate at the time of reinstatement.

Insurance premiums and the amount of insurance you get are not fixed and can be expected to change from time to time. Members are given written notice of any changes as required by law.

How do you cancel your Income Protection cover? You can cancel your Income Protection cover at any time by advising UniSuper in writing. Your cover will stop on the day UniSuper receives your request or the date nominated by you, whichever is later).

Your interim accident cover starts when UniSuper receives your application form. It ceases on the earlier of 120 days after it started, and the date your application is accepted, declined, cancelled or you withdraw it. There is no interim accident cover if you suffer partial disability during this period.

Waiting period There is a waiting period of 90 consecutive days. The waiting period commences on the date a medical practitioner examines you and certifies that you are totally disabled or partially disabled. At the end of the waiting period subject to meeting the eligibility criteria, a monthly benefit will be paid in arrears for each month for which you are entitled to it. Where you suffer one of the specific illnesses listed below during the waiting period, you will also be entitled to one times your monthly insured benefit (known as a ‘specific illness benefit’). These specific illnesses are: cancer chronic renal failure coronary artery bypass surgery heart attack major organ transplant surgery stroke transient ischaemic attacks chronic liver disease chronic lung disease major head trauma severe burns total deafness or total blindness

AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA

Each specific illness is defined in the policy. Please note that an employer superannuation contribution benefit is not payable in respect of a specific illness benefit.

What if you return to work during the waiting period? If you return to work during the waiting period and it proves unsuccessful because of the illness or injury causing total disability, the waiting period will continue as though there was no return to work as long as you do not return to work for more than nine days in total. If the return to work is for more than nine days, then the waiting period will recommence.

If you return to partial work, or are capable of doing so, after 14 consecutive days of suffering total disability, a partial disability benefit may be payable once the waiting period has ended, provided you meet the criteria listed in the definition for partial disability.

How will your insured benefit be paid? If your claim is accepted, your insured benefit will be paid monthly in arrears. Income Protection benefits may be paid for a period of up to two years. Income Protection benefits are indexed every 12 months by the lesser of the annual Consumer Price Index and 7.5%, in cases where total disability or partial disability benefits have been paid for more than 12 continuous months. If you make a claim and it is accepted, you will receive a monthly benefit that is the lesser of: the amount represented by the number of units the Insurer last accepted for you, 85% of your pre-disability monthly income (with any amount above 75% of your pre-disability monthly income to be paid as a superannuation contribution), the maximum that can be purchased under the policy (i.e. $30,000 per month)

AA AA AA

If you are receiving a total disability or partial disability benefit and you die, the Insurer will pay a lump sum benefit of $10,000 when the Insurer has been provided with evidence to its satisfaction that you have died. The Insurer may also pay a rehabilitation benefit in addition to benefits otherwise provided. Prior approval is required from the Insurer in these circumstances. The maximum rehabilitation benefit that will be paid in respect of a disability claim will be the lesser of four times your monthly benefit and $100,000, less the amount of any such expense to which you are entitled to reimbursement from another source. This amount will be paid in addition to the disability benefit. A pro-rata insured benefit will be paid if a benefit is payable for less than a whole month. The insured benefit is paid monthly in arrears by electronic funds transfer to your nominated financial institution account. The employer superannuation contribution of up to 10% will be paid into your UniSuper account.

ACCUMULATION 1

If you are partially disabled, you will receive a portion of the monthly benefit that takes into account any income you are earning. PAYG tax will be deducted from each monthly benefit payment.

Reduced Income Protection benefit Your monthly income may be reduced by any other income you are earning (whether it is received or not) while receiving a benefit and any other disability income payments that you or your employer receive on your behalf. These include payments such as workers compensation payments, social security, accident, disability, and income replacement benefits. However, it does not include income earned from investments, any lump sum TPD or superannuation benefit or lump sum trauma or terminal illness style of benefit or annual leave, sick leave or long service leave entitlements. A monthly benefit will not be paid if this other income exceeds 75% of your pre-disability monthly income.

Will I receive an insured benefit if my disability recurs? If you have been receiving a total disability or partial disability insured benefit and you return to your full pre-disability duties, but within six months of the claim ending as a result of commencing active full time work the same disability recurs, it will be considered to be a continuation of your earlier claim (provided you still have Income Protection insurance cover in place). The waiting period will not apply and the insured benefit period will be reduced by the number of days you were paid under the earlier claim.

When will my Income Protection benefit be paid? Your first disability payment is effective from the day after the waiting period ends. As insured benefit payments are made in arrears, you will not receive your first payment for a month after the effective date.

When does my Income Protection cover cease? Income Protection insurance cover ceases when: you cease to be a UniSuper member, you permanently retire from the workforce, you advise us in writing that you wish to cancel your cover (your cover will cease on the day UniSuper receives your request or the date nominated by you, whichever is later), you cease to be an Australian citizen, a New Zealand citizen residing in Australia, a holder of an Australian permanent visa or a person who resides in Australia on an approved working visa, your account has insufficient funds to pay your premiums, you turn 65 (the cover cessation age), you join the armed forces of any country (the Australian Defence Force Reserve is excluded for this purpose), you cease to satisfy the relevant conditions for continuation of cover whilst on employer approved leave, you reside overseas outside the Insurer’s agreed conditions, your superannuation benefit in UniSuper is less than $2,000 and you have not received any contributions or rollovers for 12 consecutive months, you are the subject of a fraudulent claim, the Trustee gives the Insurer notice to the effect that it would like cover in respect of you to cease, the Trustee terminates the policy with the Insurer, you have been in receipt of Income Protection benefits for a period of 24 months, or you die.
