At Apia Funeral Insurance our claims payment and support process is the most important thing we do. Our teams continue to be ready to support you through this challenging time as the COVID-19 situation evolves.
We at Apia Funeral Insurance understand the significant impact COVID-19 may have on the livelihood of customers and their families in Australia. We want to support those impacted during their time of need. We would encourage any customer who has been directly impacted by COVID-19 and is concerned about their ability to meet their premium obligations to contact Apia Funeral Insurance on 13 50 50.
If you wish to take out Apia Funeral Insurance you can still do so, subject to our eligibility requirements.
Apia Funeral Insurance is available to all Australian residents aged 45-75. There are no medical questions or tests required to apply, however it is important to note that cover is only provided for Accidental Death (which has a special meaning set out in the PDS) for the first 12 months. This means that a claim would not be paid for death caused by COVID-19 in the first 12 months of taking out Apia Funeral Insurance cover (or, following any increase, in respect of the increased portion). All causes of death are covered after the first 12 months of cover.
If you have any specific questions on your policy, please contact the Apia Funeral Insurance Customer Service team with your policy details on 13 50 50.
