If we need more than 5 days to review your concerns, we will refer you to our Dispute Resolution Team who will undertake further investigations.

Your dedicated contact will keep you regularly updated with the progress and will work with you to discuss options to resolve your complaint.

Once we have come to a decision on the outcome of your complaint, we will discuss the proposed outcome with you.

A written response outlining our complaints decision will be provided no later than 30 calendar days where your complaint relates to a life insurance policy, or 45 calendar days if it relates to a superannuation product.

In some cases where the complaint is about a Life insurance Policy a superannuation fund trustee owns, you will be advised if the trustee is required to give you a final written response about your Complaint. Where this applies, you will receive this within 45 calendar days of us or them receiving the Complaint. This response will include:

(b) The action/s taken to resolve the Complaint or the reasons for the decision. 

You will be able to ask for a copy of the documents and information relied on in assessing your Complaint. You will also have the right to take your Complaint to an External Disputes Resolution Body if you are not satisfied with the trustee’s decision.

Our Promises to You

We are committed to ensuring continuity of key industry standards as we transition our industry association membership from the Financial Services Council to the Council of Australian Life Insurers. This transition will have no impact on how we serve and support our customers and we will continue to be bound by the Life Insurance Code of Practice and relevant standards.

When you take out life insurance, it’s important that you get the highest standards of service in all your dealings with us.

That’s why we have adopted the Life Insurance Code of Practice. It’s the life insurance industry’s commitment to mandatory customer service standards and it’s designed to protect you, our customer.
