Features and benefits of ANZ Home Loan Protection

Easy to apply

It's quick and easy to apply with no medical or blood tests required, subject to pre-existing conditions.

Flexible options

Choose from one of three cover options to suit your protection needs.

Only pay for what you need

Your amount of cover will match the total outstanding balance of your ANZ home loan. This means that as the loan mortgage balance decreases each month, so does the amount of cover you pay for.

Joint policy discounts

Receive a 10% discount off your premium if you apply for a joint ANZ Home Loan Protection policy. 

What's covered

Which cover option will you choose?

Life

  • A one-off payment that pays your ANZ home loan if you pass away or are diagnosed with a terminal illness with less than 12 months to live.

Injury, illness and involuntary unemployment

  • Your monthly ANZ home loan repayments for up to 18 months, if you can't work because of illness or injury.
  • Your monthly ANZ home loan repayments for up to 90 days, if you become involuntarily unemployed.

Life, injury, illness and involuntary unemployment

  • A one-off payment that pays your ANZ home loan if you pass away or are diagnosed with a terminal illness with less than 12 months to live.
  • Your monthly ANZ home loan repayments for up to 18 months, if you can't work because of illness or injury.
  • Your monthly ANZ home loan repayments for up to 90 days, if you become involuntarily unemployed.

A 30-day waiting period applies for each claim after the claim event date if you are either ill or involuntarily unemployed.

What's not covered

  • For any illness, injury or condition that is subject to a medical consultation in the 12 months before your policy starts, and this leads directly or indirectly to your death or disablement after your policy starts
  • For death caused by suicide in the first 13 months of any cover
  • If you’re involuntarily unemployed for the first 90 days after the policy start date
  • For any illness in the first 30 days after the policy start date

  • If you work less than 20 hours in paid employment per week
  • If you resign or retire from your job, take voluntary redundancy, your employment contract expires, or your employment is terminated because you commit wilful misconduct or take part in a strike or labour disturbance
  • For any condition that results from using alcohol or drugs (except where the drugs are taken as prescribed by a medical practitioner)

Home loan protection common questions and guides

Your premium is calculated monthly, based on a few factors including age, single or joint cover, cover type selected, loan amount and monthly loan repayment, as well as government charges and stamp duty.

You pay your premium monthly in advance by direct debit from a bank account or credit card.

If you buy the policy on a new ANZ loan, this is the date ANZ makes funds available to your ANZ loan. If you buy the policy on an existing ANZ loan, this is the date we accept your application for ANZ Home Loan Protection.

No. Home loan protection insurance is an optional cover. You do not need to buy this cover to apply for your ANZ home loan but it's important that you consider your future ability to maintain your home loan repayments and protect your lifestyle.
