We are continuing to invest in our adviser portal functionality. Our latest Change of Ownership (COO) scenario enhancements allow for greater digital efficiency with changes to our online application and submission processes; 

• OneCare SMSF ownership - You can now change a Non-super policy to a SMSF owned policy. 

• Update Life Insured details - The ability to update contact details and residential address from the application itself. 

The Adviser Portal continues to deliver greater efficiency: Change of Ownership

We continue to deliver on our commitment to provide digital efficiencies. We have added more scenarios to the Change of Ownership functionality, you can now submit the following requests via the portal:

• OneCare Non-super to OneCare Super​ (introduced February 2023)

• OneCare Non-super to OneCare Superlink​ (new)

• OneCare Super to OneCare Non-super (new)

This creates a faster and more convenient process for your Change of Ownership requests and removes the need to submit via paper for these scenarios.
