What is income protection (IP) cover?

IP cover can provide you with a monthly benefit of up to 85% of your pre-disability income if you’re unable to work due to injury or illness.

You may also be able to receive a partial benefit while you’re transitioning back to full employment after a total disability.

IP cover doesn’t form part of the automatic cover most Equip Super members receive when they join. Instead, you need to apply for IP cover separately if you need it. Our IP cover is flexible, so you get to choose your waiting period and your benefit period:

  • A  benefit period of two years or five years.
  • A waiting period of either 30, 60 or 90 days.
Making an Income Protection claim

Insurance claims can be complex and time consuming. And no two IP claims are the same. Our team is here to help you and your loved ones navigate the claims process.
