Does the insurance pay out?
Most super accounts carry insurance, paid from your balance. The admittance rate is the share of finalised claims the insurer accepted in the year to 30 June 2025 — the single best number for "does this cover actually pay". Over the year it collected A$143.0m in premiums and paid out A$125.1m in claims (claims paid in a year often relate to earlier years' cover, so this is a cash-flow picture, not a loss ratio).
| Cover type | Claims accepted (1-yr) | Claims paid | Premiums collected | Insurer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Life insurance (death cover) | 99.2% | A$36.4m | A$49.6m | AIA Australia Limited, MLC Life Insurance, TAL Life Limited, Zurich Australia Limited |
| Total & permanent disability (TPD) | 83.7% | A$56.2m | A$50.8m | AIA Australia Limited, MLC Life Insurance, TAL Life Limited, Zurich Australia Limited |
| Income protection | 89.7% | A$32.5m | A$42.6m | AIA Australia Limited, MLC Life Insurance, TAL Life Limited, Zurich Australia Limited |
