Making a TPD Claim Through Vision Super

6 April 2026 · 5 min read

Vision Super primarily serves local government workers and employees of water utilities. If illness or injury has stopped you working, your TPD cover through Vision Super may help.

Vision Super is an industry super fund serving local government employees and workers in water and related utilities across Australia. It provides default death and TPD insurance for eligible members and has defined benefit as well as accumulation options for different groups of members.

Vision Super's defined benefit members

Some longer-serving Vision Super members may be in a defined benefit section, which has different disability provisions from a standard accumulation account. Understanding which section applies to you is important before lodging a claim, as the benefit calculation and eligibility criteria can differ significantly.

Common conditions for local government workers

  • Physical injuries from maintenance, outdoor and infrastructure work
  • Musculoskeletal conditions from physically demanding roles
  • Mental health conditions — stress, burnout and PTSD — in emergency-adjacent roles
  • Chronic conditions that develop or are exacerbated through work
