As a member of FirstChoice Employer Super, your employees will have access to valuable insurance cover that can protect them when something unexpected happens.
This can give your employees and their loved ones a financial safety net in the event of serious injury or illness, and even death.
Your employees will have access to:
- life cover (also called death cover) which pays a lump sum benefit if an employee dies or becomes terminally ill

FirstChoice Employer Super also offers a range of insurance options enabling employers to design automatic cover that is affordable and right for their employees.
This is called employer selected cover and will be automatically provided to eligible employees when they are at least 25 years old, and their account balance reaches $6,000 or more.
FirstChoice Employer Super’s insurance options
Automatic cover available to most eligible employee members. Your employee will receive an amount based on your insurance selections.
Your employees can also apply for cover that is suited to their needs. To do this, employees will need to complete an insurance application form and be accepted by our insurer. This is also available for your employees' spouse and your ex-employee members (retained benefit members).
Your employees can increase their death and TPD cover without providing medical evidence for major life events, such as marriage, birth of a child or buying a house.
