Cash back cover when you need it most

We’re lucky in Australia – our healthcare system has most accidents covered. But sometimes the costs don’t stop when you leave hospital.

Our Cash Back Cover* from our Recover Cover range of recovery and life insurance products gives you cash to help with the costs of recovery you weren’t expecting like taxis to the doctor, extra rehab, hospital parking, babysitters or help if you need time off work.
