08.01.2022 Don't forget to register for the upcoming webinar: 'Super & Disability Insurance: More important than ever in the health & and economic times of COVID-19' being held next Tuesday 29 September from 7:00pm - 8:00pm AEST.... Speaker: Craig Parrish, Senior Associate and NSW State Litigation Leader | Superannuation and Insurance | Maurice Blackburn Lawyers About the session: For many years automatic Life and Disability insurance through superannuation has been an important safety net for those who have been forced to stop work due to any injury or illness. This safety net is no less important in the circumstances created by a global pandemic as increased risk to both physical and mental health elevate stress, and loss of employment opportunities only adds to the challenge of recovering from a cancer diagnosis and returning to the workforce. Added to this is the increasing erosion of benefits available via this safety net, and changes to the legislations and insurance policies which further complicate who can claim and when. Cancer patients and survivors are often in a position to claim these benefits, but are unaware they have insurance through super or are unsure if they can make a claim. Cancer Nurses can help patients find the support and answers they need by understanding the basics of insurance entitlements through super, and some of the context which applies during these unprecedented times. Members: FREE | Non-Members: $30 plus GST Registration closes midday Tuesday 29 September 2020 *unless booked out* https://www.cnsa.org.au/ev/event/super-disability-insurance This session is proudly supported by Maurice Blackburn Lawyers. CNSA is grateful for their support of our online CPD webinars.
