Each year, more companies recognise the value that being a Protect employer can add to their business. We’re now proudly the industry scheme preferred by over 1,200 employers and 50,000 workers throughout Australia.

To join Protect, employers must pay severance contributions and/or income protection insurance premiums to us, on behalf of their workers, in accordance with a registered industrial agreement such as an enterprise or site agreement.

If your industrial agreement includes contributions to Protect, or you have an agreement in progress, you’re on the way to become a Protect employer.

Please complete the form below to progress your application, or make enquiries about joining, and our Employer Relations Manager will be in contact with you to discuss your eligibility to provide workers the security of a Protect severance account and/or income protection insurance.

1. Once Protect contributions are detailed in your industrial agreement, joining employers will be required to sign a Deed of Adherence confirming compliance with the rules of the Protect severance fund. Employers joining for income protection insurance will sign a contribution agreement.
2. You will then be confirmed as a Protect employer on our system and provided login details to our employer portal so you can administer your account and add your eligible employees as Protect worker members.
3. Protect employers are also provided a unique EFT account number for secure online banking of contributions, which are then paid monthly.

Protect is limited to accepting contributions made under an industrial agreement and cannot accept registration of, or contributions from, individuals. This maintains the Fringe Benefits Tax exempt status of severance contributions to Protect, as an Australian Tax Office recognised Approved Worker Entitlement Fund. Protect income protection insurance is only offered as community/group cover, keeping premiums down and coverage up.
