Step 3: We’ll use the information in ‘Step 2’ to generate an insurance quote estimate that we’ll send to you.
Step 4: We’ll ask you a few questions about your health and lifestyle, which you must answer honestly. You’ll have to confirm that all the information you’ve provided is accurate.
Step 5: We’ll display a summary of your application for review.

What you need to know:
Please ensure that you’ve read the terms and conditions of your policy and understand them. Keep the following in mind as well:
- We may need to contact you to get more information while we process your application. If we can’t reach you within 3 business days after submitting your application, your policy may be cancelled, and you’ll have to reapply.
- You’ll be required to take an HIV test within 90 days of the start date of your cover. We will pay for the test and will arrange for a nurse to come to your home or workplace to conduct the test at a time convenient for you.
- There’s a 31-day cooling-off period from when you receive your policy documents to cancel your cover.
