We’re changing insurance rate premiums and making enhancements that will take effect from 1 February 2025 for FirstChoice Employer Super members.  

Why we've made these changes

We have negotiated new rates with AIA, the insurance provider for CFS super products. AIA, like all insurers, periodically reviews insurance premiums to ensure that members are paying the appropriate amount for their cover and to allow them to continue paying claims to members in their time of need.  

Summary of insurance premium rate changes

Death and Total and Permanent Disablement cover 
Salary Continuance Insurance cover with a 2 year benefit period
Salary Continuance Insurance cover with a 5 year benefit period or up to age 65

Note: The actual premium changes may vary from the above for each member due to factors such as occupation (if applicable). Due to rounding, actual dollar premium changes may vary. We’ll be writing to affected members with further details. These insurance premium changes are provided by the insurer with a conditional three-year premium rate guarantee. These premium rate changes may not apply to some FirstChoice Employer Super plans with tailored premium arrangements. 

Improvements to your clients' insurance offer

The changes outlined in the Key Changes Flyer will be automatically applied to members’ accounts from 1 February 2025, so no action is required.

How affected members will be notified

Members will be notified of these upcoming changes from 17 February 2024. Here is an example of the communication that they can expect to receive.
