Life and Health Discount (LHD)
  • To qualify for the 5% Life and Health Discount (the LHD), you must hold both an eligible health insurance policy and an eligible RACQ Life Insurance policy. Both the eligible health insurance and Life Insurance policies must insure the same person (same name and date of birth must appear on both policies) and have a common mailing address listed.
  • Eligible health insurance policy:
    • AIA Health Insurance
  • Eligible RACQ Life insurance policies are:
    • RACQ Life Protect
    • RACQ Income Protect
  • For Joint Policies, at least one of the insured lives must hold an eligible health insurance policy in addition to an eligible RACQ Life Insurance policy and the LHD will apply to both life insured's premiums under the RACQ Life Insurance Policy.
  • Where you have an existing eligible RACQ Life Insurance policy the LHD will be applied at your next payment instalment for fortnightly or monthly premium frequencies. If you have an annual premium frequency the LHD will be applied with immediate effect.
  • The LHD will continue to be applied to your RACQ Life Insurance premiums, provided you still qualify by holding an eligible health insurance policy and an eligible RACQ life insurance policy.
  • If you no longer hold an eligible health insurance policy, the LHD will be removed at your next Policy Anniversary Date.
  • If the eligible health insurance policy is not in place within or at 30 days of policy inception, the LHD will be removed effective from:
    • next payment instalment for fortnightly and monthly premium frequencies; or
    • policy inception for annual premium frequency.
  • The LHD is generally applied to the total premium. If you are eligible for other discounts (in addition to the LHD), then generally we apply each additional discount to the already discounted premium.
  • AIA Australia Limited reserves the right to vary or discontinue the LHD at any time and without notice.
