TAL Health Sense

The rewards of taking care of your health

At TAL, health is at the heart of what we do. We’re always looking for new ways to empower you to protect your physical, mental and financial wellbeing. Because your health and well-being are as important to us as they are to you, we’ve developed the TAL Health Sense program – our prevention program to enhance the health and wellbeing of Australians.

The TAL Health Sense program currently involves two kinds of prevention activities:

TAL Health Sense

Focuses on primary prevention, for example, having a healthy BMI can prevent conditions such as diabetes mellitus.

TAL Health Sense Plus

Focuses on secondary prevention, which is concerned with detecting a condition early to improve health outcomes. This typically occurs through preventative screening programs, such as regular blood glucose monitoring to identify diabetes mellitus at an early stage.

TAL Health Sense

The TAL Health Sense BMI discount supports and encourages your long-term good health, by offering you up to 15% off your Accelerated Protection Life, Critical Illness and TPD Insurance premiums if your BMI is between 19.0 and 28.0 (inclusive).

Simply confirm your BMI (by entering your height and weight) when you’re applying for insurance and your discount will be calculated and applied automatically.

Key benefits

  • Discounts of up to 15% on Life, Critical Illness and/or TPD insurance premiums.
  • Applied to your policy for life.
  • No tests, extra application forms or membership fees.

How does it work?

Disclaimer:

The offer of TAL Health Sense is subject to the Terms and Conditions. TAL reserves the right to alter or discontinue the Health Sense offer at any time.

  1. A maximum 15% Health Sense discount applies to non-smokers meeting the BMI criteria that hold 4 benefit types (Life; Critical Illness; TPD and Income Protection (IP)) and meeting minimum sum insured amounts for all benefit types. Lower discounts will apply for other benefit combinations and smokers. More information is available on request from TAL.
  2. Assumes the policy owner makes no changes to the policy, benefit types or amounts, and that the policy or any benefits have not ended (e.g after payment of a claim or the expiry of a benefit).
  3. For customers with loadings, the Health Sense discounts apply to premiums including loadings (except loadings applied on a per-mille basis) and apply to Life Insurance, TPD Insurance and Critical Illness Insurance benefits only. Where a per-mille loading has been applied, the discount will not apply on additional premium resulting from the per-mille loading (an example of a per mille loading is $5.00 extra premium per $1,000 sum insured). Health Sense discounts only apply to Life Insurance, TPD Insurance and Critical Illness Insurance benefits only. Please contact TAL for a pre-assessment or if you wish to check the loading basis (for Health Sense and Health Sense Plus eligibility) for any client.

TAL Health Sense Plus

There’s only one you—and you should be rewarded for looking after yourself.

Through Health Sense Plus we want to reward you for proactively looking after your health. Having regular health checks, such as a blood pressure test or skin check, can help detect health issues before they become bigger problems and may help prevent serious conditions including cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

All new applications receive an automatic 5% discount off Life, Total and Permanent Disability and Critical Illness Insurance premiums for two years with TAL Health Sense Plus.

Once you have the TAL Health Sense Plus reward applied to your policy, you can continue to enjoy the 5% discount by undertaking a preventative screening test. You will receive an email reminder every two years to confirm your health check and renew your savings.
