Critical Illness is a plan that complements your health insurance and is available only to Southern Cross members with a health insurance policy.

 It is a simple plan designed to provide you with additional peace of mind. It provides a one-off lump sum to give you a financial boost if you are diagnosed with a qualifying critical illness event (such as cancer or stroke).

When you are recovering from a serious illness, you want to take care of your wellbeing, not just medical bills. You can spend the cash on anything you like. For example - mortgage repayments, home modifications, care costs or overseas travel.

You simply choose the level of cover you want: $20,000, $50,000 or $100,000 and this is what we pay you in the event that you suffer a qualifying critical illness event and survive for 14 days.
