Life insurance for women

Canstar may earn a fee from its Online Partners for referrals from its website tables, and from sponsorship or promotion of certain products. Fees payable by product providers for referrals and sponsorship or promotion may vary between providers, website position, and revenue model. Sponsorship/promotion fees may be higher than referral fees. If a product is sponsored or promoted, it’s an ad and it is clearly marked as such. An ad might appear in different places on our website, such as in comparison tables and articles. Ads may be displayed in a fixed position in a table, regardless of the product's rating, price or other attributes. The location of an ad doesn’t indicate any ranking or rating by Canstar. Payment of fees for ads does not influence our Star Ratings. See How We Get Paid to find out more. Payment of fees for ads does not influence our Star Ratings or Awards.

The Life Insurance Star Ratings were awarded in May 2025 and data in the table is current as at that date, updated from time to time to reflect product changes notified to us by product issuers. The results don’t include every provider in the market and we may not compare all features relevant to you. You can find a description of the initial sort order below the table. You can use the sort buttons at the top of each column to re-order the display. Learn more about our Life Insurance Star Rating Methodology. The rating shown is only one factor to take into account when considering products.

The products and Star Ratings in the table might not match your exact inputs in the selector. Sometimes the methodology uses profiles with categories or bands (e.g. income, loan amount or monthly spend), but sometimes a single methodology, without any categories or bands, is applied. The results will show the products that most closely match your selection, based on our profiles. If you are unsure about any terms used in the comparison table please refer to the glossary.

What is a Target Market Determination?

A Target Market Determination (‘TMD’) is a document that explains which people particular financial products may be suitable for (the target market) and sets out any conditions around how financial products can be distributed to consumers.

Why do product issuers provide Target Market Determinations?

TMDs are compulsory for most financial products. TMDs are compulsory for most financial products.

Issuers and distributors of financial products must take reasonable steps that are likely to result in financial products reaching consumers in the target market defined by the product issuer. Canstar takes this responsibility seriously. As a distributor, we periodically review the TMDs of products we list on our website to help ensure our distribution channels are likely to result in the products reaching consumers within the relevant target market. This is one of the reasonable steps we take to comply with our obligations.

We recommend that you consider the TMD before making a purchase decision. Contact the product issuer directly for a copy of the TMD.

Canstar may refer you to Lifebroker if you take an action (such as click a “Book a Call” button) on our website.  Lifebroker may provide general advice to you in relation to life insurance products and may also facilitate a sale of a life insurance product to you.  For each sale of a life insurance product that is made after Canstar refers you to Lifebroker, DDM will receive a payment from National Financial Solutions Pty Ltd (“NFS”) on behalf of Lifebroker.  These payments are calculated with respect to a percentage of the premium of the sold policy, which fluctuates as the price of premiums changes over time and depending on the particulars of each insurance policy. Fees paid to DDM can be up to 50% of the commission earnt by NFS.

The following commission maximums apply to commission earnt by NFS from the insurer:

· Upfront commission: is a one off payment payable at the time of purchase of up to 60% of the premium you pay (exclusive of GST).

· Ongoing commission: for each year the premium is in force, NFS receives an ongoing commission of up to 20% per annum (exclusive of GST) from the issuer of the product.

In limited circumstances NFS may be paid a commission on a “Level” basis, where the Upfront and Ongoing Commission are the same proportion of the premium each year.  Level commission is up to 30% of the premium you pay each year (exclusive of GST).

You can ask Lifebroker directly which commission structure applies to your policy.

Where a Lifebroker representative arranges a policy for you, that representative may receive remuneration in addition to their salary.  The amount of additional remuneration is dependent on a number of factors including the value and number of policies arranged over a certain time period (including adjustments for policies which are cancelled or downgraded during the first two years of cover), their compliance and the quality of their conduct.  There may also be circumstance where other benefits are given to representatives from time to time by Lifebroker or by product issuers.  Please refer to Lifebroker’s Financial Services Guide for more information.
