We’ve got your questions answered
Medibank Starter Life Insurance can be applied for immediately online, without lots of health questions. You can choose to be covered between $50,000 and $250,000. To apply, you need to be aged between 18 and 45 years (inclusive) and be an Australian resident.
As our Medibank Starter Life application process does not consider your detailed health and lifestyle information and covers you in the event of death and terminal illness, we recommend you consider the PDS and/or obtain independent financial advice to see whether this product is right for you.
Our standard Medibank Life Insurance product also covers you in the event of death and terminal illness and has accidental injury cover. Medibank Life Insurance can provide you with a higher benefit amount than Starter Life Insurance and has additional optional covers available for Trauma cover and Permanently Unable to Work cover, so you can tailor it to your needs. The application process is therefore longer than for Starter Life Insurance and is required to be completed over the phone. You can choose to be covered for up $2.5 million depending on your age and income at time of application. To apply, you need to be aged between 16 and 70 years of age (inclusive) and be an Australian resident. You can request a quote online or apply on the phone.
If you are unsure about any of our Medibank life insurance products or have any questions, call one of our sales specialists and they can talk you through our different products available.
Life insurance will pay you or your chosen beneficiaries, a lump sum amount if you pass away or are diagnosed with a terminal illness and have 12 months or less to live.

- hold Australian or New Zealand citizenship; or

A medical examination is not required as insurability will be determined by your answers to the health and lifestyle questions. You must be aged between 16 and 60 years to also add Permanently Unable to Work cover, Children's Insurance cover and Trauma cover.
