What insurance does Kogan Super offer?

When you join Kogan Super, you can access the following types of insurance cover through your super:

  • Total and permanent disablement cover. This type of cover provides a lump sum payment if you become totally and permanently disabled and can no longer work.
  • Death cover. This policy provides a lump sum payment when you die, allowing you to provide for your loved ones and help them repay debts.

A default level of this cover will be available automatically when you join (if you're eligible), and you can opt to increase your cover at any time.

How do I join Kogan Super?

You can join online in less than 20 minutes. You'll need to supply:

  • Your personal details, including your name, address, date of birth and contact information
  • Your Tax File Number (you do not have to give your super fund your TFN but if your fund doesn't have your TFN it won't be able to accept certain types of contributions from you and your benefit payments may be taxed at a higher rate than would otherwise apply)
  • Details of your employer, so you can receive the super guarantee into your new fund

Once you've completed the application you will immediately receive your member number.

You can change your investment option at any time by logging into your account online.
