Zurich-owned OnePath Life has been appointed insurance partner for Qantas Super and will take over from MLC in July next year.

Qantas says members will have access to default insurance cover insuring them for death, total and permanent disablement, and income protection, as well as additional voluntary cover.

Emma Brodie, Qantas Super Senior Manager, Product and Insurance, says OnePath Life’s appointment followed a competitive tender process involving several leading insurers.
