Additional Support
Asteron recognises certain customers require additional support when engaging with us. Examples might include older people, people with a disability, people from a non-English speaking background and Indigenous people.
We offer a range of services which include support for customers living in rural and regional communities who may have difficulty in:
- accessing medical assessment services or
- meeting timelines for completing requirements.
Your adviser or an Asteron customer service consultant will be able to help you if you have questions or want to enquire about additional support.
Translation Services
For our non-English speaking customers, we offer a free Translation and Interpretive Service (TIS) through the Australian Government.
This can be accessed by calling TIS on 13 14 50. TIS will organise a translator for the language you require, then they will call us. Insuranceline will accept the full cost of the translation service.
Pre-booked phone interpreters can also be arranged in advance of an appointment. Please speak to your adviser or an Asteron customer service consultant.
