How do I join Protect?
| To join Protect you must work for an employer that has an industrial agreement, such as an enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA) that sets out your pay and conditions. One of the negotiated conditions must be the provision of either severance or income protection contributions. When your employer pays severance and/or income protection insurance contributions to us on your behalf, in accordance with your certified industrial agreement, we register them as a Protect employer and you as a Protect member under their account. |
| What contributions are paid on my behalf? |
| Severance or income protection contribution amounts, differ for Protect members working under different agreements. Contact your employer to access your workplace agreement, or search via the Fair Work Commission website |
