Fees and premiums

Insurance fees: $18 a year

Our insurance fee is $1.50 per month (or $18 a year). This covers the cost of providing insurance to your client.

We calculate the insurance fee on a pro rata basis at the end of each calendar month, and the amount is deducted from the PSSap account at the beginning of the following month. 

Premiums are calculated on the cover held

Premiums are the amount paid for on the insurance cover held, and they are deducted from the PSSap account—unless the member has opted out of cover or cancels cover, or cover stops for another reason (for example, if the account has become inactive).

The cost of cover is based on age at the last birthday, and how much the member is insured for under lifePLUS auto or lifePLUS choice

We calculate Income Protection and Death and Total Permanent Disablement (TPD) premiums at the end of each calendar month. Premium amounts vary slightly month-to-month, depending on the date joined and the number of days in each month.
