Rest Super TPD Claim: What to Know

11 July 2026 · 6 min read

Rest is a large fund popular with retail and casual workers. Here's how TPD cover and claims generally work.

Rest is one of Australia's larger funds, with many members from retail and casual work. Like most funds, it includes default TPD insurance for eligible members.

Check your Rest cover

Confirm your TPD cover and insured amount in your Rest statement or online account. Younger and casual workers sometimes have cover switched off or reduced under "Putting Members' Interests First" rules — see cancelled cover.

How to lodge

Rest generally asks you to call to start the process, then guides you through. The insurer considers your ability to return to your role given your education, training and experience — the "any occupation" style test.

Evidence and timing

Prepare your employer history and detailed medical evidence. A waiting period applies before lodging.

Frequently asked questions

Does Rest Super include TPD cover?

Many Rest members have default TPD insurance, though cover can be reduced or switched off for younger or low-balance accounts. Check your statement to confirm.

How do I claim TPD with Rest?

Rest generally asks you to call to begin the claim, then guides you through providing your employment history and medical evidence for the insurer to assess.

What if my Rest insurance was switched off?

Cover is sometimes switched off under government rules for inactive or low-balance accounts. What matters is whether you had active cover when you became unable to work.
