History of Clearview
Clearview has been in operation for 40 years, since 1976, when they started out as an Australian registered life insurer called NRMA Life, which provided life insurance exclusively to NRMA customers.
In 2002, as their services developed and diversified, NRMA changed their name to IAG and launched Clearview Retirement Solutions. Two short years later, IAG sold Clearview Retirement Solutions and NRMA to MBF Australia, which was acquired by Bupa Australia in 2008. Then, in 2010 MMC Contrarian Limited bought MBF Life and Clearview from Bupa and changed their name to Clearview Wealth Limited. Later in 2010, Clearview was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) under the code CVW.

If you were to die as a result of an accident, Clearview will pay the Accidental Death Cover benefit to your nominated beneficiaries. Note, death must occur within 90 days of the accident and is in addition to your Life Cover benefit.
If you have either Life, Accidental Death, TPD, Accidental TPD or Trauma cover you can apply to add Parent Cover to your policy. This cover provides you a lump sum benefit of up to $5,000 – $15,000 if one of your parents were to pass away for the first 12 months the cover is accidental death cover only however after this period it covers any type of death. Parent cover is to assist by providing you enough money to pay for their funeral expenses.

However important to note that if you exercise this option you will forfeit the remaining 70% of the Life Cover amount.

Is there a charge for ceasing a life insurance policy and transferring to another company?
Hi Kathy, Effectively there is no charge for cancelling a Life Policy and switching to another company. Keep in mind that the Policy Owner only has the right to cancel the policy. This can be different to the Life Insured in some circumstances so you will need to check the policy. You are covered under your Life Insurance simply whilst you are paying your premiums. If you pay premiums monthly or annually, generally the Life Insurers will provide a pro-rata refund of the premiums you may have already paid since the last renewal date up until the cancellation date you have requested. If you do switch Life Insurers, please keep in mind that you are required to disclose your full medical, pastimes and financials again with regards to an application so you need to consider this if you have had a change in circumstances and therefore you need to keep this in mind that a current policy is not cancelled until you are happy with the new policy and it has been accepted by the Life Insurer.
My husband hates paperwork/forms etc… is this one that can be done online? Does it require him to have a medical (he is quite fit, just getting him to go to a doctor is like pulling teeth) !!!!
Hi, I agree, no one likes paperwork! So we have made it easy for customers to apply for insurance over the phone, and at the same time we can answer any questions you may have about the different options and or the process. Generally he won’t require a medical or any tests, the only time these are required is if the insurers selected needs a current reading on a particular condition he may currently have or alternatively if he is applying for large amounts of cover.
If you have any further questions please feel free to call us 1300 135 205.
Person who could not speak English how they could apply for insurance policy.
Hi Hetal
Great, question. Normally what happens is the person would have their guardian / spouse / partner (interpreter) request quotes on their behalf. Then this person would explain the details of the policy, quotes and or explain the quotes, terms and conditions of the cover to the person taking out the cover.
However the application part of the application (Which is very important), needs to be fully and accurately completed in English, therefore a copy of the application is mailed out. The person helping with the interpretation would help them complete the questions in the application and understanding the terms of conditions of the policy they are considering, and the implications of not completing the application forms correctly.
I read on your website that as an existing Clearview customer, I will receive an online questionnaire every two years, requiring my current height and weight and the like. And that if my health review is positive, it will result in my discount reset to 10% of my premiums….I am making this enquiry for my husband who has been insured with Clearview for years, but never received an online questionnaire…his life protection policy will expire on 14 Sept 2017. Will really appreciate if you will send us an online questionnaire.
If I have death and terminal insurance on my Super and death and terminal illness cover with Clearview, can I make a claim from both companies?
Up to what age would I be covered by Clearview on terminal illness and death?
Will be expecting your answer soon.
Kind regards,
Marivic
Hi Marivic
Thank you for your question. To answer your second question first, yes in general you can claim on multiple life insurance policies at the time if you have notified your subsequent insurer of the previous / current policy at the time your took out the second policy & that there is nothing in the particular insurers product disclosure statements that restricts multiple policy holdings.
In relation to your existing Clearview policy you would need to check to see if the policy that you have is actually eligible for the Health Maintenance Rewards program as you may have a Clearview policy that is not eligible for the program. The best way to check this is to contact Clearview directly or you can reach out to our team and we will be able to assist 1300 135 205.
