    Frequently asked questions

    Since 1893, when a small group of doctors formed a mutual, Avant had one simple objective in mind, to support doctors.

    Over the years, and through our in-depth understanding of doctors, we developed and offered products that are designed with doctors in mind. From professional indemnity, health insurance, technology, life insurance, lending and financial advice.

    Life insurance offering

    So when we developed a life insurance product in 2017, we ensured it included features and benefits we believed doctors would value.

    Over the past five years, we continued to adapt and reinvent our products to keep up with changes in the insurance markets and changes to the regulatory regime. But always ensuring that the products’ features and benefits were of value to doctors.

    The Doctors Life Insurance Selection Tool

    That’s why from October 2021 we have changed our life offering. We moved from one product offering to providing doctors a choice of products from a range of life insurance providers, whose life policies, features and benefits we think doctors will value.

    We’ve done the hard work for you. By searching the market for providers that offer products that we think doctors will value and added these to the LIST. Making it easy for doctors to compare, select and apply for the products they want at no additional fees to them.

    The Doctors Life Insurance Selection Tool is an online comparison tool that puts a curated list of suitable providers at your fingertips. All you need do, is go to our website, enter some information, compare the policies including their features and price and consider if one of them is right for you.

    Experiencing vulnerability?

    Vulnerability can come in many unique forms. This includes illness, poor mental health, aging, loss of income, and changes in community, family or personal circumstance. Other factors such as the loss of a loved one, disability, financial distress, and language or literacy barriers can also present challenges.

    We are committed to taking extra care to support our vulnerable customers and to treating you (and your family, carer or support person) with empathy, compassion and respect.

    If you’re in need of extra assistance, we have information, tools and services that you may find helpful.

    What can you do if you're experiencing financial hardship?

    Unplanned events can leave you in a financial position that you didn’t expect. These may include:

    • injury or illness
    • unexpected changes in income or expenditure
    • a relationship breakdown or death in the family
    • a natural disaster such as floods or fire
    • situations of family and domestic violence.

    If you require support or assistance during this time, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Customer Service team on 1800 128 268. We can talk you through the options that may be available to help you through a difficult time. Or, you may wish to speak with your financial adviser.

    If you have Avant Life Insurance, we may be able to help with:

Accordingly, nothing on this website amounts to an offer by us or any insurer to sell any product to you or enter into any contract with you.

    The LIST compares the prices and some of the features of the life insurance products. However, it does not compare all of the features or benefits of each product, nor the relevant policy coverage, which should be considered before making any decision. When reviewing a product you should consider whether the product is appropriate for you and read the relevant PDS and TMD before deciding to purchase or continuing to hold a policy or plan. The PDS and TMD for each product are available by contacting us on 1800 128 268.
