Specified Accidental Injury Cover

Experiencing an accidental injury can have an immediate impact on your client's daily life and ability to do their job, whether they're a builder, office worker, or a parent caring for children at home.

If your client has an accident and suffer one of the covered injuries, Specified Accidental Injury Cover can provide temporary financial support as a lump sum payment. This payment can be used for whatever they need: covering treatment costs, getting taxis to work, hiring someone to help with children, or simply taking time off work to recover.

What products can your clients add Specified Accidental Injury Cover to?

Your clients can add Specified Accidental Injury Cover to eligible Life, Trauma, Income Protection and Total Permanent Disablement insurance including our AIA Living range, subject to minimum cover amounts. It cannot be added to Starter Plans or AIA Health products.

What injuries are covered for AIA Living Accidental Injury Cover?

We understand that injuries can have varying recovery periods which may have different impact on your client's life, so we have created specified injury categories that offer varying amounts of cover to support them through their recovery.

Key benefits for your clients

  • Provides additional financial support on top of ACC should your client experience a covered injury, so they can focus on recovery.

  • Choose how they use their lump sum payment. Whether that's to work fewer hours, take time off work all together, or get some help to keep completing their daily tasks.

  • No need for proof of income. If a carer or parent at home is injured it can affect their ability to fulfil daily tasks, which in turn affects the whole household financially.
