A cardholder is considered to be totally and permanently disabled if he or she has been absent from work for six consecutive months because of injury or illness that commenced whilst the Policy was in effect and has provided proof of being unable ever to work again at any occupation for which he or she is suited by education, training or experience. The date of disablement is the first day of absence in the six consecutive months of absence.
Payment is made provided appropriate medical evidence is produced to show that the customer is totally and permanently disabled. Payment will be reduced by the amount of any disability claim out of which the total and permanent disability claim has arisen.

A cardholder is considered to be diagnosed with a critical illness if he or she is diagnosed with or operated on for one or more of the following whilst the Policy is in effect: cancer, chronic kidney failure, coronary artery surgery, heart attack, major organ transplant or stroke.
Under the family trauma benefit, the spouse of the cardholder is considered to be diagnosed with a critical illness when he or she is diagnosed or operated on for one or more of the above critical illnesses whilst the Policy is in effect. The dependent child of the cardholder is considered to be diagnosed with a critical illness when he or she is diagnosed or operated on for one or more of the following whilst the Policy is in effect: bacterial meningitis, cancer, major head trauma, major organ transplant, paralysis or severe burns.

A cardholder is considered disabled if he or she is unable to work in his or her usual occupation because of an injury occurring or any illness beginning while the Policy is current which continues for at least 30 consecutive days. The illness or injury must be certified by a registered medical practitioner. If, after a period of disability, the cardholder returns to work and within six months suffers disability from the same or related causes, this will be deemed the same disability and the 30 day waiting period will not apply. Payments are made only while the cardholder is under the continuous care of a registered medical practitioner. Repayments are made irrespective of any other compensation received by the cardholder.

A cardholder is eligible for benefits while unemployed if he or she has been involuntarily terminated whilst the Policy is in effect. Termination due to wilful misconduct, voluntary resignation, voluntary redundancy, retirement or the completion of a contract, project or apprenticeship is not considered involuntary. In order to claim under this benefit:
- The cardholder must be registered with Centrelink (or other equivalent body) as unemployed and/or have a letter from your previous employer confirming involuntary redundancy.
- Immediately before the cardholder was unemployed, they must have been employed in a permanent full-time or part-time job involving at least 10 hours per week, and have been with the same employer for a minimum of 3 months. Self employed, seasonal, temporary, contract or casual workers are not covered under this Policy.
