Mental health conditions and how they may impact your client’s life insurance
With 1 in 5 Australians living with a mental health condition1, it’s likely that at some point, you’ll need to answer questions around how a mental health condition could affect your client’s ability to take out life insurance or make a claim.
As insurers, we have a responsibility to empower you to expertly guide your clients through the advice process and navigate conversations around mental health.
To support you, we’ve created a comprehensive mental health brochure. From prevalence of mental health conditions, to underwriting exclusions and claims, the brochure explores stats and insights, with a case study to help you to position your advice recommendations for clients living with mental health conditions. You’ll also find valuable tools and resources to help you navigate the area of mental health when advising your clients, or indeed for your own mental health care.
