5 UNIT-BASED COVER Features: insurance cover is based on multiples of units the benefit amount of each unit reduces with age the cost per unit remains the same. Automatic life-stage increases in cover The automatic life-stage increases feature is the default cover for members joining through an Energy Super Employer. Members joining by direct application to Energy Super can select the automatic life-stage increases feature when they apply for Death & TPD insurance cover. The life-stage increases feature will automatically increase your units of cover by 1 unit when you move from one age bracket to another. The cost of your insurance will also automatically increase in line with the number of units. For example, if you select the life-stage increases feature only (i.e. you do not select any additional units of cover), your units of cover will automatically increase from 2 to 3 units when you turn 29 years of age (your age next birthday will be 30). Age next birthday Units of cover To age to to to to 70 5 This means that the amount of cover you have will automatically increase at a time when you are most likely to need it due to work, debts and family commitments. The maximum cover obtained under the life-stage increases feature is when your age next birthday is 35, i.e. your Death & TPD cover is equal to $332,000. Your total cover amount begins to reduce when your age next birthday is 40. This is demonstrated visually in the graph below.

See the Qualifying for a TPD benefit section for more information. Please note: Your employer may pay the cost of your insurance cover or you may be required to have cover under an enterprise bargaining agreement which is applicable to your workplace. You should investigate this with your employer prior to cancelling or reducing your cover. Life changing events If you experience a life changing event such as: getting married taking out your first mortgage the birth or adoption of a child; or getting a divorce, you are able to increase your Death & TPD cover by up to 2 units, or the equivalent amount of fixed-dollar cover, for each event (up to a maximum of 4 units in total) without having to provide any further health evidence to the Insurer as long as you are At Work on the date of your application. You must provide evidence of the event to the Insurer within 90 days of the event occurring. Proof of the event must be accepted by the Insurer before your cover is increased. Rewarding loyalty Once you have been a member of Energy Super for 10 years continuously, you may be eligible to receive additional Death & TPD insurance cover, without having to provide evidence of health. You will need to apply to the Insurer for the cover within 90 days of the event occurring or within 90 days of receiving your next Annual Statement or Record of Contributions, whichever occurs first, following your 10 year anniversary. For example, if you joined Energy Super in June 2011, and have been a member continuously since then, you will be eligible to apply to Energy Super to receive this cover from June If at the time of application you have unit-based insurance cover, you can apply for up to an additional 2 units, or the equivalent amount of fixed-dollar Death & TPD insurance cover. Limits on increases for life changing events and rewarding loyalty If your life changing events or rewarding loyalty application is accepted by the Insurer, your increased cover will only commence from the date of the Insurer s written acceptance, and will be subject to the same acceptance terms as your previous cover, including any premium loadings or exclusions. If at the time of application you have fixed-dollar cover, you will receive the equivalent of up to 2 additional units of cover as at your current age. Increasing your cover under life changing events or rewarding loyalty is subject to a maximum of four (4) additional units, or the equivalent amount of fixed-dollar cover, in total and is subject to maximum benefit limits (see Maximum amount of cover on page 5). 6 I energysuper.com.au Energy Super Insurance Guide IBR

9 For example, if you apply for 2 units when you get married then another 2 units when you reach your 10 year anniversary of Energy Super membership, you are unable to apply for any further cover under life changing events or rewarding loyalty. TRANSFERRING YOUR COVER FROM ANOTHER SUPER FUND If you are rolling over your super from another fund, where you also have Death & TPD insurance cover, you may be able to transfer that cover under takeover terms to Energy Super. This means you can keep the same amount of cover (subject to the maximum allowable limits of $10 million for Death cover and $3 million for TPD cover) without having to complete questionnaires and undergo medical tests. Before we can set up cover in this way, you will need to provide us with written evidence from your previous fund of the amount of cover provided including any restrictions, additional premium loadings or exclusions applied. Unless agreed otherwise, those same terms will continue to apply to the transferred portion of your insurance cover with Energy Super. Before applying to transfer cover, you should note that: you must be At Work (see page 19) on the date you apply to Energy Super to transfer your cover from your previous fund; once cover has been approved with Energy Super, the equivalent amount of cover must be immediately cancelled with your previous fund; once cover has been transferred to Energy Super, if you wish to apply for further increases in cover you will need to complete a Change of Insurance Form; and if your application is accepted, your cover will commence on the date the Insurer accepts your application in writing. Your current and transferred cover will be on the basis of fixed-dollar and the cost for this cover will be based on the age rates set out on pages 5-6. If you wish to take up this option, please complete an Insurance Transfer Form which can be found at - energysuper.com.au QUALIFYING FOR A TPD BENEFIT There is a different definition of TPD depending on whether your TPD cover commenced before or after 1 July Cover commenced on or after 1 July 2014 If your TPD cover commenced on or after 1 July 2014, the following definition of TPD applies: Any occupation definition You have been absent from your occupation solely through injury or Illness for a period of six consecutive months and are incapacitated to such an extent that, in the Insurer and Trustee s opinion, after consideration of medical and other relevant evidence, you were, at the end of the period of six consecutive months absence from employment, unlikely to ever engage in or work for reward in any occupation for which you are reasonably suited by education, training or experience. Cover commenced before 1 July 2014 If your TPD cover commenced prior to 1 July 2014, the definition of TPD is made up of four parts A, B, C and D (see above right). The part that will apply to you will depend on your age and the hours you worked in the six month period prior to you becoming disabled, as follows: If at the time of becoming TPD you are: PART A: Own / similar occupation definition Parts* A B C D Less than age 65 and Employed for at least 15 hours per week. n/a Less than age 65 and Employed for less than 15 hours per week or your occupation is classified as Home Duties. n/a Aged 65 years or more n/a n/a * You may be declared TPD if you meet any of the four parts of the definition that applies to your circumstances. You have been absent from your occupation solely through injury or Illness for a period of three consecutive months and are incapacitated to such an extent that, in the Insurer and Trustee s opinion, after consideration of medical and other relevant evidence, you were, at the end of the period of three consecutive months absence from employment, unlikely to ever engage in or work for reward in your own occupation and any similar occupation for which you are reasonably suited by education, training or experience. PART B: Specific loss You suffer the permanent loss of use of two limbs or the sight of both eyes; or the permanent loss of use of one limb and the sight of one eye (where limb is defined as whole hand or the whole foot) in circumstances where the loss will never be regained.

PART D: Home Duties Where your occupation is classified as home duties, you have been absent from your occupation solely through injury or Illness for a period of six consecutive months and you are incapacitated to such an extent that, in the Insurer and Trustee s opinion, after consideration of medical and other relevant evidence you were, at the end of the period of six consecutive months absence from employment, unlikely to ever again attend to at least two normal physical domestic household duties.

10 DEATH & TOTAL AND PERMANENT DISABLEMENT COVER PART D: Home Duties If you are able to perform the normal physical domestic household duties with the assistance of another person or with the use of assistive devices, you are deemed to be able to perform these duties. You must be under the regular care and attention and following the advice of a doctor for that injury or Illness. Evidence that you carried out the duties on a daily basis prior to your period of disability will be required. If you have TPD cover with another super fund that has an Own/ similar occupation, Specific loss, Activities of daily living or Home Duties TPD definition, and wish to transfer that cover to Energy Super after 1 July 2014, you may be able to continue to have access to that definition subject to approval by the Insurer. See the Transferring your cover from another super fund section on page 7 for more information. The four part definition continues to apply as long as your cover continues and is not affected if you increase or reduce your cover. However, if your cover is cancelled and recommences, the new Any occupation definition applies. Amount of benefit The TPD benefit is calculated as at the date of claim. The date of claim for a TPD benefit is the date last worked immediately prior to the disablement or if you are not working the date you are declared disabled by two medical practitioners. The benefit you receive will include any insurance cover held at this date. TERMINAL ILLNESS Under certain circumstances a member may be declared terminally ill. If this was to apply to you, you will not have to serve any Waiting Period to become eligible to receive a Terminal Illness benefit. The definition of terminal illness is: you suffer from an Illness which in the Insurer s opinion, after consideration of medical evidence, would reasonably be expected to reduce your life expectancy to less than 12 months; you provide two medical practitioner s certificates which certify that you are suffering from an Illness that is likely to result in your death within 12 months and at least one of the registered medical practitioners is a specialist practicing in an area related to your Illness ; and for each of the certificates, the certification period has not ended. The reduced life expectancy must occur while you are covered and a Terminal Illness benefit replaces a Death benefit. Amount of benefit The Terminal Illness benefit is calculated as at the date of claim. The date of claim for a Terminal Illness benefit is the date we receive medical information supporting that life expectancy is reduced to less than 12 months. The benefit you receive will include any insurance cover held at this date. The maximum benefit payable on being diagnosed as terminally ill is $3 million. If your Death cover is higher than $3 million, the benefit paid on your death will be reduced by the amount of the Terminal Illness benefit already paid. To be eligible to access your money you must meet the terminal illness condition of release as outlined in the Getting my super Guide. OVERSEAS RESIDENCE AND TRAVEL Death & TPD cover applies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on a worldwide basis Australian Residents. See page 19 for the definition of Australian Resident. WHEN YOUR COVER ENDS Your Death & TPD cover with Energy Super will end on the earliest of the following: 60 days from the date your account balance is insufficient to cover the cost of the insurance premium; 60 days from the date you are no longer eligible for insurance cover, or are no longer a member of Energy Super; the date you exercise a continuation option (see above right); the date you reach age 70; the date you die; the date you are paid a Death or TPD benefit; the date you are paid a Terminal Illness benefit that is not less than your Death and/or TPD benefit; the day before you commence service in the armed forces (other than the Australian Army Reserve) of any country; the date you cancel your insurance cover; and when cover for every member ceases under the group insurance policy because the insurance policy is cancelled. Please note: If you cease work with an employer but remain a member of Energy Super, your Death & TPD cover continues until you meet the above criteria. The cost of cover is deducted from your account. You can cancel or reduce your cover by contacting Energy Super. Please note: If you had TPD cover before 1 July 2014 that has ceased and you re-apply for cover, your TPD cover will be subject to the Any occupation definition. See the Qualifying for a TPD benefit section for more information. CONTINUATION OPTION If you cease employment with your employer and leave Energy Super, you can apply to continue your insurance under an individual policy with the Fund s Insurer. You must be under age 60 and submit the application within 60 days of ceasing employment. You will be applying for an individual policy under retail conditions, which is guaranteed to be renewed annually. 8 I energysuper.com.au Energy Super Insurance Guide IBR

11 The continuation option applies only when your previous cover in Energy Super ceases. The following conditions apply: your cover must have ceased as a consequence of you ceasing employment with your employer and not for reasons of ill health. Continuation of cover is not available where you leave Energy Super and there is no change in your employment; for TPD insurance you must commence full-time employment within 90 days of ceasing employment; you have not ceased to be an insured member because of duty in the armed forces (not including the Australian Army Reserve); the benefit will be no more than your insurance cover under Energy Super. Any special terms and conditions applying to your cover under Energy Super, including premium loadings or exclusions, will also apply under the individual policy; the cover will be provided on the terms, conditions and rates that are current for this type of insurance at the time, and must satisfy the Insurer s underwriting criteria in relation to occupation, pastimes, smoking status and residency status; the individual policy premium will be subject to the Insurer s normal minimum premium; you must not have received, nor be eligible to receive, any TPD payments (under a group life policy) or similar payments under any other policy; you must be a permanent resident of Australia. The Insurer may decline to provide cover under the continuation option where the Insurer has no retail product available to cover the occupational risk. The cost of your insurance will be based on the Insurer s standard pricing for similar policies that applies at the time of your application taking into account your age, sex, occupation and other matters. If you wish to apply for a continuation option contact us on ENERGY ( ). MAKING A CLAIM You should notify us as soon as is reasonably practical if you think you may be eligible to make a claim. You should not leave this decision for too long. If your claim is submitted more than one year after the event giving rise to the claim, and the delay prejudices the Insurer s ability to assess the claim, it may cause the Insurer to decline or reduce the amount it will pay in respect of your claim. If you have been off work for more than three months and you are unlikely to recover from your disability, or if you have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, you should discuss this with your doctor, your employer and Energy Super. To find out more about making a claim, call us on ENERGY ( ). IF YOU LEAVE ENERGY SUPER Your insurance cover will stop when you leave the Fund. However, the Insurer may consider your claim if: you die within 60 days of leaving Energy Super; or you become totally and permanently disabled within 60 days of leaving the Fund and you were previously eligible for a TPD benefit under the policy.

12 INCOME PROTECTION COVER Energy Super s Income Protection (IP) insurance means if you are unable to work temporarily because of a disability, you can still have a fortnightly Income for up to two years and then until you reach age 65 if you choose - subject to meeting the eligibility requirements of the insurance policy. Energy Super has arranged your IP through a group policy which means you pay for your chosen level of cover at rates that are competitive and generally less than if you had taken out the same level of cover independently. The cover is split into two types: Standard Income Protection cover (2 year benefit); and Extended Income Protection cover (to age 65 benefit). ELIGIBILITY FOR COVER If you join Energy Super within 120 days of joining your Energy Super Employer, you will receive automatic Standard IP cover. Your cover starts on the first day of your employment, provided you are At Work on that day. If you join Energy Super within 120 days of joining your employer but are not At Work on your first day of employment you will need to be at work for 30 consecutive days before full cover applies. If you do not join Energy Super within 120 days of joining your employer you do not receive Automatic Cover but can apply for cover if you wish. For any optional or additional cover you take out, cover will commence on the day we accept your application and will be subject to the Pre-existing Sickness /Condition exclusion. If you elect to have contributions paid to another superannuation fund when joining your employer and then apply to join Energy Super, any cover shall be subject to the Preexisting Sickness /Condition exclusion.

If you are not covered by a Workers Compensation scheme, the cost of your IP insurance cover is higher. If you are uncertain about whether you are covered by a Workers Compensation scheme anywhere in Australia talk to your employer or contact the Workers Compensation authority in your State or Territory. WorkCover Queensland can be contacted on Please note: If your relevant Workers Compensation scheme decides to cease weekly Statutory Benefits to you but you have not returned to work, the Trustee may request that you be examined by an independent medical specialist to determine the status of your disablement. If you are eligible to claim under a Workers Compensation scheme, you may be required to do so to be eligible to claim an IP benefit from Energy Super. The benefit of any tax deduction available to the Fund for insurance costs deducted from your account is rebated to your account. This refund is currently 15% of the gross insurance cost.

MAKING A CLAIM To make a claim, you will be required to complete a claim form and submit the claim form along with all supporting evidence to Energy Super s Insurer. The claim form contains three sections, one to be completed by you, one by your employer and another by your treating Medical Practitioner. To avoid delays, you can submit your claim before the Waiting Period is complete. However, payments will only be calculated from the end of your Waiting Period and paid fortnightly in arrears. You must notify Energy Super as soon as is practicable and not more than 12 months after you have suffered a Injury or Sickness that may result in an insurance claim being made. You may be required to be examined by an independent Medical Practitioner of the Insurer s choice. To find out more about making a claim, call us on ENERGY ( ). WHAT HAPPENS WHILE ON CLAIM? Once the claim submission has been accepted and the Waiting Period has ceased, benefits will commence fortnightly in arrears. As such, you can expect your first payment to be processed two weeks after your Waiting Period ends. Progress reports and other medical certification will be required during the benefit period to ensure you are under the regular care of a Medical Practitioner. We will assess whether you are undergoing appropriate medical treatment and are compliant with the treatment prescribed. Medical certification of the disability will be required to support ongoing disability benefits. Each medical certificate cannot certify your incapacity for a period of more than three months. You will be advised when your benefit ceases. This can either be after one or more of the following occurs: the benefit period reaches 104 weeks (unless you have Extended IP cover); or you reach the maximum age limit; or you no longer meet the definition of either total disablement or partial disablement. 16 I energysuper.com.au Energy Super Insurance Guide IBR

19 You should notify us as soon as you become aware that you are due to return to work either on partial or full duties. Benefits will be adjusted to reflect the change to your state of incapacity. This will also avoid any recovery if a benefit is overpaid. Energy Super or our Insurer may require at any time during a period of disablement that you be examined by an Independent Medical Officer of their choosing. The costs associated with the examination will be met by us, however, if you fail to attend the examination for any reason then you will be required to pay any costs incurred. Failure to attend the Independent Medical Examination may result in suspension or cessation of benefits. Insurance costs continue to be deducted from your account while you are on claim. WHEN YOUR INCOME PROTECTION BENEFIT WILL BE REDUCED Your Standard IP benefit (with a benefit period of two years) will be reduced by any sick leave, Workers Compensation, accident compensation, or other insurance policy, disability or statutory payments you receive. You must disclose all payments or benefits before, during or after you receive a Standard IP benefit. The Insurer will pay you the difference between the sick leave payments, other not at work related payments, Workers Compensation payments and the lesser of: the benefit level chosen; and 90% of your Income. Your IP benefit to age 65 will be reduced by any Income you are entitled to from other sources (whether that Income was actually received or not). Income from other sources includes: any benefits payable under other IP policies; any benefits payable under Workers Compensation or other legislation; and any benefits payable in respect of any claim for past or future economic loss arising from any personal injury claim you have made. The Insurer will pay you the difference between the Income from other sources, and your insured amount. Your IP benefit may also be reduced to equal the proportion of which your Injury or Sickness contributes to you being unable to work. If a benefit is paid and you subsequently receive payments from another source, your benefit will be reduced. Any difference must be repaid to the Insurer or your future benefit may be reduced. INDEXATION OF BENEFITS WHILST ON CLAIM If you have been paid a benefit for a continuous 12 month period, the amount of the benefit payable will be increased by the lesser of 5% or the annual percentage increase in CPI, taken at the end of the last reported quarter prior to the date of review, whichever is lesser. This will apply to all benefit payments after the first 12 months of continuous benefit payments. IBR Energy Super Insurance Guide energysuper.com.au I 17

20 OTHER INSURANCE INFORMATION INSURANCE CLAIMS If you (or your beneficiaries) wish to make a claim for any insured benefit provided by Energy Super, you (or your beneficiaries) need to contact Energy Super. If you make a claim, the Trustee may conduct investigations to assess the value and validity of your claim. This may involve the use of investigation agents, legal advisers and the collection of personal data that the Insurer believes is relevant. YOUR DUTY OF DISCLOSURE Before you enter into a contract for personal insurance cover with an Insurer, you have a duty under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 to disclose to the Insurer every matter that you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, that is relevant to the Insurer s decision whether to accept the risk of insuring you and, if so, on what terms. You also have the same duty of disclosure if you wish to renew, extend, increase or reinstate your insurance cover. Your duty however, does not require a disclosure of a matter: that is of common knowledge; that your Insurer knows or, in the ordinary course of business, ought to know; for which your duty of compliance is waived by the Insurer. If you fail to comply with your duty of disclosure and the Insurer would not have entered into the contract on any terms if the failure had not occurred, the Insurer may void the contract within three years of entering into it. If your non-disclosure is fraudulent, the Insurer may void the contract at any time.
