I am going on maternity leave - what does this mean for my insurance

Notify changes in maternity leave and return for work

Do you have accident insurance purchased before 1 June 2023? Then, it's important to let us know when you start and finish your maternity leave. Having the correct employment status in your insurance details is vital to ensure you receive the proper compensation in case of an accident.You can notify us on My Page.

Ensure your child’s safety with child insurance

As a parent, you naturally take every precaution to keep your baby safe. However, accidents can still occur, and the consequences can be both emotionally and financially challenging. Child insurance provides coverage in case of accidents, offering financial protection for your child's well-being. This insurance also extends to cover injuries that may occur when your child starts attending daycare, as collective insurance policies in schools and institutions no longer provide coverage.Basic coverage for child insurance is free in the first year of your child's life. If you wish to add extra options, you can do so by paying for them upfront. You can initiate the insurance purchase immediately after your child is born.To sign up for child insurance, you can either call us at 70 21 01 91, and we'll assist you in the process, or you can conveniently purchase it through our online insurance calculator.

Your home contents insurance covers your child

To activate this coverage, it's important to register your child with us. Contact us to include your child in the home contents insurance.With standard coverage and any optional add-ons you've chosen, your child is comprehensively covered under the policy.

Driving less? Adjust your car insurance

As you embark on maternity leave, your driving habits may change, especially if you spend more time near home with your child. With fewer kilometres on the road, it's crucial to update your car insurance accordingly to avoid unnecessary costs.You can change your mileage on My Page.
