TAL Health Sense

The rewards of taking care of your health

At TAL, health is at the heart of what we do. We’re always looking for new ways to empower you to protect your physical, mental and financial wellbeing. Because your health and well-being are as important to us as they are to you, we’ve developed the TAL Health Sense program – our prevention program to enhance the health and wellbeing of Australians.

The TAL Health Sense program currently involves two kinds of prevention activities:

  • TAL Health Sense - focuses on primary prevention, for example, having a healthy BMI can prevent conditions such as diabetes mellitus.
  • TAL Health Sense Plus - focuses on secondary prevention, which is concerned with detecting a condition early to improve health outcomes. This typically occurs through preventative screening programs, such as regular blood glucose monitoring to identify diabetes mellitus at an early stage.

TAL Health Sense

The TAL Health Sense BMI discount supports and encourages your long-term good health, by offering you up to 15% off your Accelerated Protection Life, Critical Illness and TPD Insurance premiums if your BMI is between 19.0 and 28.0 (inclusive).

Simply confirm your BMI (by entering your height and weight) when you’re applying for insurance and your discount will be calculated and applied automatically.

Key benefits:

  • Discounts of up to 15% on Life, Critical Illness and/or TPD insurance premiums.
  • Applied to your policy for life.
  • No tests, extra application forms or membership fees.

TAL Health Sense Plus

Did you know more than 1 in 2 cancers could be avoided with a combination of a healthy lifestyle and regular screening?1

Through TAL Health Sense Plus, we want to help you learn about the importance and rewards of preventative screening tests, which can detect and even prevent many serious conditions, including cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

The TAL Health Sense Plus discount  rewards your proactive health care and a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) with a further 5% premium discount on your Accelerated Protection Life, Critical Illness and TPD Insurance, for up to two years at a time.

Simply respond to our invitation to confirm your BMI and complete a preventative screening test every two years, and the extra 5% discount can continue to be applied whilst you remain eligible.

New customers

All new applications on or after 26 May 2023 will receive an automatic 5% discount off your Life, Total and Permanent Disability and Critical Illness Insurance premiums for 2 years with TAL Health Sense Plus, which if eligible, you can apply to renew in the future by maintaining a healthy BMI and having a preventative screening test every 2 years.  Just send us evidence you took the test, such as a receipt.  Do not send us your test result.

Existing customers

Once you have the TAL Health Sense Plus discount applied to your policy once, we will email you a reminder every two years to confirm your BMI and complete your preventative screening test, for as long as Health Sense Plus continues to be offered. Simply follow the instructions we provide to you, and if you remain eligible the discount will apply for another two years. 

If you have not previously had the TAL Health Sense or the TAL Health Sense Plus discounts applied to your Accelerated Protection Life, Critical Illness or TPD Insurance policy with us, we may send you an offer to participate in the program at the time of your policy anniversary.
