MetLife Protect

We know life moves fast and we believe that life insurance can be more nimble, transparent and consistent to help people be protected from the unexpected.

The MetLife difference

We’ve designed MetLife Protect for the way Australians live today. It’s life insurance as it should be - flexible and fast, with reduced complexity.

MetLife Protect + Extras

Every client is unique. Design a MetLife Protect + Extras policy to suit their needs now – and adapt it as their needs change. It’s a simple way to show you that we ‘get’ what’s important to them.

What is Metlife Protect?

We've made it easier for you to protect what matters most to your clients as their life changes, with building blocks of flexible life cover.

Watch this video to see how this could make a real difference in your clients' lives.

Packaged covers

If you need to set up a life insurance package quickly, choose from one of our simple pre-selected options with just a few qualifying questions.

Once the cover is set up, you can go through underwriting to vary terms if needed.

These packages are designed for ‘life moments’ - such as arranging a new mortgage or business succession plan.

Home Loan: ensure your clients can get extra assistance in paying their home loan
Buy/Sell: enable your clients' succession plans
Business Loan: manage the risk of business debt
Key Person Revenue: keep the business running if a key person is disabled
Sole Trader Income: protect your clients' independent income streams

Making changes

Life moves fast, and MetLife Protect is designed to keep pace.

It’s easy to increase your cover without full underwriting on the occurrence of specified life events or a salary increase.

For example, if the life insured’s salary increases by 15% or more in a 12-month period, some Extras Covers have an inbuilt Life Events Increases feature enabling cover to be increased without any new underwriting.

Inside super or outside super?

You can link MetLife Protect covers, so clients can pay for some policies from their super fund, and some directly – making it even more affordable in many cases for your clients.

Cover inside super is available for clients with an SMSF or who apply for a membership of the MetLife Australia Superannuation Fund.

Reward their loyalty

With multi-policy discounts, multi-lives discounts and healthy BMI discounts, MetLife Protect can provide even better value – and clients can pay premiums monthly or fortnightly without incurring extra costs.

All discounts are quoted automatically, so you can share the good news sooner.
