Melbourne, 12 April 2024 – Leading life, health and wellbeing insurer AIA Australia has introduced a new reward incentive to encourage deeper engagement of its science-backed health and wellbeing program, AIA Vitality.
In response to the widening insurance coverage gap and persistent cost of living pressures, AIA has created an initiative that will return value generated from engaging in the AIA Vitality program.
From 1 April 2024, when a new AIA Priority Protection insured activates their AIA Vitality membership and reaches Silver Status (10,000 AIA Vitality Points) within six months of the policy commencing*, AIA will pay:
- $500* to the AIA Vitality member’s bank account nominated in the AIA Vitality app six months after policy commencement; and
- $500* to the servicing financial adviser’s licensee, paid in the commission run proceeding Silver Status being achieved by the member.
AIA data demonstrates that when members engage meaningfully in the AIA Vitality program, members begin to gain tangible monetary rewards and benefits whilst improving overall health and wellbeing. As an insurer, AIA also observes an improved claims experience.
It is the first time the insurer is offering a $500 reward payment when members reach Silver Status within 6 months of their membership commencing.
Sam Tremethick, Chief Retail & Partnerships Officer of AIA Australia, said:
“As AIA Vitality celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, we are enhancing the benefits. We know that members who engage with it see benefits on their physical and mental health. Not only this, but it’s designed to help you know your health, make healthy choices, and reward you for it,” Tremethick said.
“With the AIA Vitality Silver Status Reward, we’re excited to bring to both members and advisers an initiative that will encourage members to engage early with the program and that will put money back in their pockets at a time when cost of living is hitting Australian households and small businesses.”
Members who engage with the AIA Vitality program can reduce their insurance premium by being active and making healthy choices, and receive up to $500 each year in shopping rewards, partner discounts as well as cash back on eligible domestic and international flights.
To support advisers with the incentive, AIA will provide dedicated resources to support a client’s progress towards achieving Silver status and can work with clients directly to assist with onboarding.
