Fast and easy online applications
Fewer questions to answer
Improved customer experience
Same day pre-assessment response
Now you can choose a policy that suits your needs and then easily adapt it with building blocks of flexible cover as your life, and your needs change.
Discover a better customer experience, with fewer questions, fast and easy online applications, plus a same day pre-assessment response to your application. Additionally, a range of extra support services are available if you need them – such as mental health support and grief counselling (in case the life insured is diagnosed with a terminal illness), financial planning assistance, rehabilitation and return-to-work planning services, and more+.
We’ve also made MetLife Protect more affordable by giving you the option to pay for some policies from your super fund*, and some directly, along with multi-policy discounts, multi-lives discounts and healthy BMI discounts.
*To pay inside your super, you need to have a SMSF or be a member of the MetLife Australia Superannuation Fund. MetLife Protect Super is our insurance in superannuation policy and accepts rollovers from your nominated superannuation fund.
+ These support services are at the discretion of MetLife.
MetLife Protect. We’re doing insurance differently. Especially for you.
That’s why MetLife Protect allows you to build insurance over time to suit your changing needs by simply adding the ‘extras’ that matter to your existing policy as your life changes.
