Paying for a new policy

You can pay your premium when you take out your policy, either online or over the phone.

You can either:

  • pay in full
  • take advantage of an interest-free monthly payment plan.

Renewing your existing policy

You must renew your policy between 1 July and 30 September.

You can either:

  • pay in full, or
  • take advantage of an interest-free monthly payment plan.

Pay by 16 September to get early payment benefits

This is also the last date to set up a payment plan.

30 September is the last day to pay to keep your cover and avoid penalties

If you don’t pay by 30 September, your cover will end.

If your payment is overdue:

  • you may receive a late payment penalty
  • your policy won’t cover you until you pay all overdue amounts (including penalties).

If a worker is injured when your premium hasn’t been paid, you could be responsible for their claim costs.
