Life insurance post cancer
Has anyone managed to get life insurance after cancer diagnosis? What companies offer this and how long after diagnosis do you have to wait?

- thanks for the reply. It looks like virgin does cover me but excludes breast cancer from the policy for 5 years and the cover is less than what a normal person would be. I guess thats better than nothing. So wish I had done this before I was diagnosed..
Hi, it's Lisa from the Policy Team. I just wanted to let you know about a great fact sheet that the Cancer Council NSW has developed called 'New insurance policies'. The fact sheet talks about a range of issues related to insurance, including applying for insurance after a diagnosis of cancer.
Here is a link to the fact sheet: http://www.cancercouncil.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/New-insurance-policies.pdf

LisaHi,
I think Virgin do it and also you can check with your superannuation scheme about buying cover. Some do it.
Let us know what you find out.
