TAL’s Claims teams are structured to support the customers of our three key business channels being Retail, Group and Direct. Our people may spend their career at TAL working within one channel or may move across these channels.
Within our Retail Channel, we support the customers who have obtained their life insurance with the support of their adviser.
Accordingly, we may interact with both customers directly and/or their adviser as part of their claims journey with us.
We are structured in accordance with our products and have teams that are dedicated to either Income Protection claims or on Lump Sum claims.
Within our Group Channel, we support customers who have obtained their life insurance through their superannuation fund. Accordingly, we may interact with the Customer, the Superannuation Fund Trustee and the Superannuation Fund Administrator as we progress our Claims Management for our Customers.
Group is structured in accordance with our Superannuation Fund partners and depending on the size of that partner, team members may be dedicated to either Income Protection or Lump Sum claims or may have a claims portfolio that comprises both products.
