    Hi there. We recently sent you a letter explaining that your insurance cover with TelstraSuper may be cancelled if you don’t take any action. Here’s why that’s happening and what you need to do if you’d like to keep it.

    Under new laws, your account has either been classified as inactive or will soon become inactive. This is because we haven’t received a contribution to your TelstraSuper account in over 13 months.

    If you don’t take any action your insurance will be cancelled soon.

    It can pay to have insurance as a back-up plan if something unexpected happens to you like death, disability or illness. Insurance can act as a financial safety net to protect you and your family.

    Premiums for your insurance cover are deducted from your account however insurance cover is not suitable for everyone, so make sure you understand if you need it and what your options are.
