Are you unable to work because of an injury or illness?
There could be a large lump sum payment just waiting for you to claim through your super insurance.
Most of us are covered for some form of insurance benefit if we can’t work because of any injury or illness - including mental health conditions. It’s commonly called a Total and Permanent Disability benefit (TPD), or Income Protection.
Almost all workers in Australia are automatically insured through their super fund. Usually, you just need to show that you can’t work in your regular occupation due to injury or illness, taking into consideration your previous education, training and experience.
But making a claim can be difficult. When you're trying to focus on your treatment and recovery, dealing with insurers can be the last thing you feel like doing. That’s where we can help.
We are the largest plaintiff super insurance team in the country and we’ll be by your side to help with your claim. We offer 'no win, no fee' for all eligible claims, so it costs nothing to know where you stand.

In the last three years, the average amount our clients received for TPD claims was $160,000.
The insurance we pay for through our super is there to protect us when we're too sick or injured to work. Not many people are aware of these benefits, but we help people claim them every day.
When it comes to super insurance, mental health conditions are treated the same as physical conditions. If you can't go back to work for any health reason, then you may have a claim.
At Maurice Blackburn, we’re experts in handling super claims and will make sure you access your full benefits. We know that access to lump sum payments can make a massive difference to someone when they’re unable to work.
Any payments you're entitled to do not affect your super balance. We can check your super insurance entitlements for free, so get in touch today.
What our clients say
"It doesn't have to be a catastrophic event, it's just enough that you can't go back to your normal job"
General Manager (Super and Insurance) Jason Brown explains some of the common misconceptions about superannuation insurance, how it all works and who can make a claim.
Why choose Maurice Blackburn?
Our team of dedicated superannuation lawyers are experts in insurance law and have a strong success rate of ensuring our clients receive their full entitlements.
Making a claim can be frustrating, especially if you don’t have someone in your corner. The insurance companies often won’t tell you what you’re entitled to and we find that if people try to make a claim themselves, it can be unfairly rejected or they don’t get their full benefits. Not everyone knows the right information to give or the right questions to ask.
When we run a claim for a client, we know exactly what we need to do so they receive the maximum amount they’re entitled to. Our track record of achieving higher settlement amounts for our clients than those who bring a claim on their own (without legal advice) is because we know the process inside out and work hard to get you everything you deserve.

"I had a client who was a healthcare worker and suffered from anxiety and depression. She became unable to work and perform her duties and sadly ended up losing her job because of the impact of her mental health condition...
We were able to help her claim approximately $300,000 through her super insurance, which helped her to focus on her recovery."
