Statements, letters and your copy of the Protect newsletter will be in letterboxes from today

Statements are mailed to active members with a severance balance in July and January each year, other members who have income protection cover through Protect receive a letter of confirmation that premiums are being paid by your employer, and all members receive a copy of our newsletter.

We're going paperless

Protect members have been remarkably resilient throughout the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and have adapted to electronic management of their Protect accounts extremely well. Download rates of the Protect App and numbers visiting our website broke records in March this year, as members used electronic resources to access their accounts, answer their queries and claim their funds. Protect have also made adjustments to allow for the practicalities of living through a pandemic; for example we have temporarily removed the need for signed statutory declarations to accompany claims as it became an obstacle for people during lock down.

We will extend on the technological embracement as we prepare to provide Protect members with paperless statements and news updates. Providing your account information online will give you more convenient access to your statements, which you can then print as needed. 

Socially responsible

The provision of electronic statements is an obvious improvement for members but it will also have environmental advantages. It's a socially responsible initiative that will support our carbon neutral organisation certification.

What do you have to do?

Electronic statements are likely to be introduced around the end of this year however in order to proceed it is imperative that we have your correct contact details:

• mobile number
• email address

You can update your contact details via the App or your online account or you can contact our Member Services Team on 1300 344 249 to ensure you don't miss important information about your Protect account.
