TPD Claims In Queensland

Support When You Can’t Return To Work

If injury or illness has ended your working life, you may be worried about covering the bills & planning for the future. Many Australians have Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance through their superannuation (super) fund without realising it.

We’ll check your super for TPD cover & explain what you may be able to claim.

Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

What TPD Insurance Is

TPD cover can pay a lump sum if you’re unlikely to ever work again because of an injury or illness.

We’ll explain how your policy defines disability & what that means for your claim.

No Fault Is Needed

Unlike most injury claims, a TPD claim doesn’t depend on who caused your condition, and illnesses can be covered too.

We’ll assess whether your circumstances may meet your policy’s terms.

You May Have More Than One Policy

If you’ve had several jobs or super funds, you may hold more than one TPD policy.

We’ll track down every policy you may be able to claim on.

Check Your Cover Early

TPD claims can be subject to time limits, and cover may lapse after you stop working or your super balance runs low.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to confirm your time limits and check whether your cover is still active.

Key Things To Know About TPD Claims

01

Check All Your Super Funds

Old super accounts may still hold TPD cover, even from jobs you left years ago.

We’ll help you find every policy that may apply.

02

Policy Definitions Matter

Some policies only ask whether you can return to your own job. Others ask whether you could do any job that suits your education, training or experience.

We’ll explain which test applies to your policy & help you understand what evidence is needed to support your claim.

03

TPD Can Sit Alongside Other Claims

A TPD claim may run at the same time as a WorkCover, CTP or public liability claim.

We’ll explain how the claims interact before you make any decisions.

04

Time Limits Matter

TPD claims involve time limits & policy requirements. Missing them can put a claim at risk.
