I'm going on maternity leave – essential guide for new parents

Notify Changes in Maternity Leave and Return to Work

If you purchased accident insurance before 1 June 2023, please let us know when you start and finish your maternity leave.

Keeping your employment status up to date ensures you receive the correct compensation if an accident occurs.

You can easily notify us via My Page.

Ensure Your Child's Safety with Child Insurance

As a parent, you do everything to keep your baby safe - but accidents can still happen, and the consequences can be both emotional and financial. Child insurance provides financial protection for your child in case of accidents.

This coverage also applies when your child starts daycare, as schools and institutions no longer offer collective accident insurance.

Free for the first year: Basic child insurance is free during your child's first year.

Optional add-ons: You can add extra coverage by paying upfront.

Start immediately: You can purchase child insurance as soon as your baby is born.

To sign up, call us at 70 21 01 91 for assistance, or use our online insurance calculator for a quick and easy process.

Your Home Contents Insurance Covers Your Child

Protecting your child from damage and accidents is essential. Fortunately, your Home Contents Insurance automatically covers everyone in your household - including your child.

To activate this coverage, register your child with us. Contact us to add your child to the policy.
With your standard coverage and any optional add-ons you've chosen, your child will enjoy complete protection under the policy.

Driving Less? Adjust Your Car Insurance

If you're on maternity leave, your driving habits may change - especially if you spend more time at home with your child. With fewer kilometres on the road, it's smart to update your car insurance to avoid paying for coverage you don't need.

You can easily update your mileage on My Page. Remember to adjust it again when you return to regular commuting after maternity leave. Keeping your policy aligned with your situation ensures you only pay what's necessary.
