What Is a Free TPD Assessment and What Does It Tell You?

12 May 2026 · 4 min read

A free TPD assessment is a no-obligation first step that helps you understand whether a TPD claim through your super is worth pursuing. Here's what it involves.

A free TPD eligibility assessment is an initial check that helps you understand whether your situation is likely to qualify for a TPD claim through your superannuation. It's the first step for most people, and it costs nothing.

What a free assessment covers

A typical assessment asks about:

  • Your health condition and how it has affected your ability to work
  • When you last worked and why you stopped
  • Whether you have super accounts (and which funds)
  • Your age and general employment background

Based on your answers, you'll get an initial indication of whether a TPD claim is worth pursuing.

What it doesn't do

A free assessment is not a formal claim and doesn't guarantee any outcome. It's an initial filter — helping you understand whether it's worth investing time and energy into a full claim.

Why do it?

Many Australians sit on potential TPD entitlements for years — often because they're not sure if they qualify or don't know where to start. A free assessment removes that uncertainty with no cost and no commitment. If your situation looks promising, you can then take the next steps.
