We strongly encourage you to read this document in full before making an investment decision. In preparing this PDS, we did not take into account your particular investment objectives, financial situation or needs. As every person’s needs and aspirations are different, you should consider whether investing in CarePlus is appropriate for you in light of your particular circumstances. You may also wish to get independent advice, particularly about taxation, retirement planning and investment risk tolerance.

1About Challenger CarePlusChallenger CarePlus is designed for people who have been assessed as being eligible to receive Government-subsidised aged care services. It provides regular payments that last for your lifetime while allowing you to leave your estate or your nominated beneficiaries a lump sum when you die.

CarePlus is comprised of two products:

• CarePlus Annuity (see page 4)

CarePlus Annuity (Annuity) provides regular payments for your lifetime in exchange for a capital investment (the money you use to buy the Annuity).

• CarePlus Insurance (see page 7)

CarePlus Insurance (Insurance) pays your estate or your nominated beneficiaries a lump sum (called the sum insured) when you die. There is a single premium for lifetime insurance cover. The Insurance can only be purchased if you are also purchasing a CarePlus Annuity.

You can only invest in both an Annuity and Insurance.

You should read this PDS and the Policy Documents before deciding to buy CarePlus. You should also get a quote. Contact your financial adviser for an obligation-free quote. Your quote will show you the Annuity purchase price and Insurance premium payable for the amount you are investing into CarePlus. The regular payments we offer and insurance premiums are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect market conditions.

2CarePlus AnnuityCarePlus Annuity (Annuity) provides regular payments for your lifetime in exchange for a capital investment (the money you use to buy the Annuity).

The amount of your regular payments is established at the time you buy the Annuity, and will depend on the options you choose, your age, your sex and prevailing market rates. Challenger will make those regular payments for your lifetime.

The Annuity does not have a withdrawal value.

Features at a glance

What type of investment is this? An immediate lifetime annuity

Who can buy an Annuity? You can only buy the Annuity if you are over 18 and:

• have Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT)1 approval that specifies you as being eligible to receive Government-subsidised aged care services (including home care); or

• live in an approved residential aged care facility.

Investment term Your lifetime

Minimum investment amount $10,000 (combined total with CarePlus Insurance premium)

Payment indexation Not available. Regular payments remain fixed for your lifetime.

Regular payment frequency You can choose to receive payments monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly.

Additional investments You cannot add to your CarePlus once it starts; however, you can buy a new CarePlus.

Voluntary withdrawals The Annuity does not have a voluntary withdrawal value (see page 6).

On death Upon death, regular payments stop and no lump sum amount is payable (see page 6).

Benefits of the AnnuityThe benefits of the Annuity are set out below. The benefits must be considered along with the risks, which are shown on the next page.

Regular payments The Annuity provides regular payments that last for your lifetime. The dollar value of your regular payments will not change over time.

Longevity and market protection The Annuity can provide you with the comfort of knowing that you will receive regular payments for your lifetime, regardless of how long you live or how investment markets perform. You will not bear any market risk in relation to how your capital is invested. Challenger bears the market risk, as it guarantees to make regular payments for life.

Competitive ratesThe Annuity uses competitive rates to determine the dollar amount of your regular payments.

You pay no fees to ChallengerOur costs are taken into account when we determine the regular payments you will receive over the life of the Annuity, and various assumptions are made regarding your longevity, potential investment return, and our own income. This means that you do not pay Challenger any fees or charges. For more information about how Challenger derives income from providing the Annuity, see ‘How we invest’ on page 5.

You can agree to the payment of fees for financial advice and other services. For more information, see ‘Fees and other costs’ on page 10.

1 In Victoria, the equivalent body is the Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS). References in this PDS to ACAT include references to ACAS or any other relevant successor organisation.

Challenger may also be required to withhold tax on behalf of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). For more information, see ‘How the Annuity is taxed’ on page 6.

Risks of the AnnuityAll investments carry some risk. The appropriate level of risk for you will depend on factors such as your age, financial goals, investment timeframe, where other parts of your wealth are invested, and your risk tolerance. Listed below are the key risks that you should take into account when deciding whether to buy an Annuity.

Risk of early deathThe Annuity has no amount payable upon death. There is a risk of dying before receiving all or any part of your Annuity investment. To manage this risk, the Insurance pays a lump sum upon your death (see page 7).

Liquidity riskOnce your Annuity commences, there is no withdrawal value. You cannot withdraw from your Annuity at any time, even if your circumstances change.

Counterparty riskThis is the risk that we become unable to meet our commitments to you. However, we are subject to detailed legislative and regulatory requirements designed to ensure that this does not occur.

Challenger is regulated under the Life Act (which governs the provision of annuities in Australia) and the prudential standards made under it, which prescribe minimum capital and solvency requirements, for Challenger as well as for the annuity business it writes. The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) actively supervises Challenger’s compliance with these requirements, which are designed to ensure that we are able to meet our obligations to investors. For example, Challenger is required to hold enough capital to withstand a 1 in 200-year shock event.

Even so, unforeseen and extreme circumstances that might impact our ability to make payments to you can never be completely ruled out.

For more information, see ‘How we invest’ below.

Inflation riskThis is the risk that the real value of your regular payments may reduce over time as a result of inflation.

How we investWhen you buy an Annuity, your capital investment goes into a fund along with capital received from other Annuity investors. Challenger also adds to this fund from its own money. This is known as a statutory fund and is regulated under the Life Act.

All regular payments are made from the statutory fund, even if the fund suffers poor investment returns. If the fund falls below the minimum level needed to make all current and future payments, Challenger can be required to top up the fund with its own money. APRA actively supervises this requirement and has extensive powers to intervene that are designed to ensure that payments can be met despite volatile or adverse movements in the broader financial markets.

If the statutory fund receives additional investment returns above the amount necessary to make all guaranteed payments, then Challenger can take some surplus income from it; however, we are only legally permitted to do so after we have made sure that there are sufficient funds to meet the current and future regular payments for all investors. You do not share in any surplus generated by the statutory fund.

Annuity investors can take comfort in knowing that their investment is in a statutory fund and:

• unlike many other investments where investors incur the risk and impact of any market falls, the Annuity makes regular payments for life, even if market returns are lower;

• Challenger invests its own money to provide a buffer for investors;

• the statutory fund is prudently invested, with the aim of ensuring that investment returns are sufficient to cover all payments due to investors;

• there are strict rules in place that are designed to ensure that investors receive the full benefit of their Annuity, even during periods of market volatility.

Challenger will invest the statutory fund, subject to investment restrictions in the Life Act. Generally, the fund will be invested in cash, shares, corporate bonds, convertible notes, debt instruments, geared and ungeared property investments, infrastructure investments and other assets. The investment objectives for the fund include to achieve consistent returns on investment and to match the cash flow in from investment returns with cash flow out to investors so that all present and future guaranteed payments can be made to all investors.

The name of Challenger’s statutory fund that your money will go to when you buy an Annuity is Challenger’s Statutory Fund No. 2. All references to guarantees refer to payments Challenger promises to pay under the Policy Documents.

Challenger CarePlus

Challenger is a signatory to the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment (UNPRI) and aims to be a responsible investor by considering environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors when investing the assets of the statutory fund. In signing up to UNPRI, Challenger has committed to extending ESG integration activities across our investments, as we recognise that such factors are important factors impacting investment performance over the longer term.

Whilst Challenger takes into account ESG considerations when investing the assets of the statutory fund, we do not adhere to any particular set of standards and have no predetermined view as to what constitutes such considerations, or the extent to which they will be taken into account in our investment management practices.

Voluntary withdrawalOutside of the cooling-off period (see page 14), your Annuity does not have a withdrawal value.

Your Annuity on deathUpon death, your Annuity stops. No further payments will be made from the date of your death, and no lump sum amount is payable (although 100% of the amount invested into CarePlus is payable as a death benefit under CarePlus Insurance see page 8).

We will not make any part-payment in respect of the period that has elapsed between the last regular payment we guarantee to make and the date of death. We will seek to recover any payments made after the date of death that we had not guaranteed to make under the terms of the Annuity, and may deduct any overpayments from another policy held by you. It is therefore important that we are notified promptly of a death.

How the Annuity is taxedThe tax information contained in this PDS sets out our understanding of current tax legislation as at the date of this document. The legislation and its interpretation could change in the future. We recommend that you seek the advice of a tax adviser before investing.

The tax information contained in this PDS only applies to individual Australian tax resident investors who are either an Australian citizen or a permanent visa holder. If you are investing as a non-resident investor or a temporary visa holder, you should seek tax advice.

When you buy an AnnuityThere is no tax payable (at the time of purchase) when you buy the Annuity.

How regular payments are taxed

Part of your regular payments will be included in your assessable income and subject to pay-as-you-go (PAYG) tax. Like an employer, we are required to withhold an amount from certain payments we make to you and remit it to the ATO. Note that PAYG tax is not a final tax, and a greater or lesser amount of tax may apply on assessment of your annual income tax return. By completing a Tax File Number (TFN) Declaration, the PAYG tax deducted from your regular payments may be reduced. The TFN Declaration also allows you to apply for a tax-free threshold. You should consult your financial adviser or tax adviser to ascertain whether the tax-free threshold applies to you.

At the end of each financial year, we will send you a PAYG payment summary and tax information with details to assist you with preparing your income tax return. The assessable income is reduced by an amount called the ‘deductible amount’. The deductible amount will be the amount of each regular payment which is considered for tax purposes to represent the return of your capital. If regular payments are less than the deductible amount applicable to your Annuity, no tax is payable. The deductible amount for your Annuity will be outlined in your quote.

Senior Australians and Pensioners Tax OffsetYou might be eligible to claim the Senior Australians and Pensioners Tax Offset. The amount of the Senior Australians and Pensioners Tax Offset you will get will depend on your personal circumstances. If you are eligible and wish to claim the offset, please complete the TFN Declaration and the Withholding Declaration in the back of this PDS. You can only claim the Senior Australians and Pensioners Tax Offset if you have answered ‘Yes’ to Question 9 of the TFN Declaration.

Tax File NumberBefore you provide your TFN to us, we are required to tell you the following:

• The collection of TFNs is authorised by the taxation and privacy laws. Your TFN will be used for legal purposes only, including providing information to the ATO so that your tax can be properly assessed. These purposes may change in the future.

• It is not an offence not to quote your TFN, but if you choose not to quote it, tax may need to be deducted at the highest marginal rate (plus applicable Government levies). These consequences may change in the future.

On death Upon death, a lump sum amount is payable (see page 8).

Benefits of the InsuranceThe benefits of the Insurance are set out below. The benefits must be considered along with the risks, which are also set out below.

Lifetime protection The insurance can provide you with the comfort of knowing that, upon your death, your beneficiaries or estate will receive a lump sum.

Immediate coverThere are no medical examinations required. Once your application is accepted by us (see page 12), you are covered immediately. We will pay the sum insured upon death, even if you die after one day.

Effective estate planningYou choose who receives the lump sum payment upon your death.

Risks of the InsuranceThe appropriate level of risk for you will depend on factors such as your age, financial goals, investment timeframe, where other parts of your wealth are invested, and your risk tolerance. Listed below are the key risks that you should take into account when deciding whether to purchase Insurance.

Risk of underinsurance This is the risk that the sum insured you have chosen might be inadequate for your circumstances.

Inflation riskThis is the risk that the real value of your sum insured may reduce over time as a result of inflation.

Counterparty riskThis is the risk that we become unable to meet our commitments to you. However, we are subject to detailed legislative and regulatory requirements designed to ensure that this does not occur.

Challenger is regulated under the Life Act (which governs the provision of life insurance in Australia) and the prudential standards made under it, which prescribe minimum capital and solvency requirements, for Challenger as well as for the life insurance business it writes. The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) actively supervises Challenger’s compliance with these requirements, which are designed to ensure that we are able to meet our obligations to investors.

Even so, unforeseen and extreme circumstances that might impact our ability to make payments to you can never be completely ruled out. For more information on how we invest, see page 5.

2 If you reside in South Australia, stamp duty (currently 1.5% of the Insurance premium) will be deducted from the sum insured before it is distributed to beneficiaries (see page 11).

Challenger CarePlus

Voluntary terminationYou can cancel your Insurance at any time. The termination value we pay you is subject to a minimum prescribed under the Life Act and prudential standards enforced by APRA. We will always provide a termination value equal to the minimum level.

Note that if you reside in South Australia, stamp duty (currently 1.5% of the Insurance premium) will be deducted from the termination value before it is paid to you (see page 11).

Calculating the termination valueTo calculate the termination value, we will work out the discounted value of the sum insured based on the future probabilities of death at the time of calculation. This can involve a significant discount in some circumstances, and often results in the termination value being less than the premium you paid for the Insurance.

The calculation method of the present value is impacted by changes in the 10-year Australian Government Bond rate, which means it is only possible to determine the termination value at the time of termination. We set out an example below, which is only for illustrative purposes.

Withdrawal example:

An 85 year old female paid an insurance premium of $87,000 for a sum insured of $100,000.

Estimated termination value

10-yr Government bond rate

Upon turning age 90

Upon turning age 95

2% $ 80,589 $84,734

3% $78,312 $83,096

4% $76,148 $81,520

5% $74,091 $80,003

Cancelling your InsuranceIf you want to cancel your Insurance, contact your financial adviser for your termination value. If requested, we will send you a letter with your termination value as at the date of that request, along with a withdrawal form for you to complete and return to us. When you return that form, you will also need to send us your original Policy Document and Investor Certificate.

The termination value on the day we make the payment may vary from the termination value stated in the letter we send you. To minimise any variation, we will generally pay the termination value within five business days of receiving all required documentation.

We will only make a payment to your nominated bank account. We will not make payments to any third party.

Your Insurance on deathUpon death, the sum insured3 is payable to your nominated beneficiary (or beneficiaries). Where a valid nomination has not been made, we will pay the sum insured to your estate. Challenger has the right to deduct any amount owing to Challenger from the sum insured before it is paid, including any overpaid Annuity payments.

To make a claim, please contact your financial adviser or call the number listed on the inside back cover.

Estate planning optionsYou can select who receives the sum insured payable upon death. You can nominate multiple beneficiaries (in specified or equal proportions).

The nomination of a beneficiary or beneficiaries can be changed at any time.

If you do not nominate a beneficiary, or they die before you, or your nomination is invalid, the sum insured will be paid to your estate. If you nominate multiple beneficiaries and one dies before you, their proportion of the sum insured will go to the remaining beneficiaries.

Important information when a beneficiary nomination is made under power of attorneyAn attorney nominating themselves as a beneficiary must have the legal authority under the power of attorney to give themselves the benefit. The applicable power of attorney legislation is different in each State and Territory and particular legal restrictions apply to the granting of benefits to attorneys in some States and Territories, such as New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania.

The validity of the nomination under the applicable State or Territory laws will be assessed at the time of claim. If the nomination is invalid we will pay the benefit (or that part of the benefit which is invalid) to the life insured’s estate.

3 If you reside in South Australia, stamp duty (currently 1.5% of the Insurance premium) will be deducted from the sum insured before it is distributed to beneficiaries (see page 11).

How the Insurance is taxedThe tax information contained in this PDS sets out our understanding of current tax legislation as at the date of this document. The legislation and its interpretation could change in the future. We recommend that you seek the advice of a tax adviser before investing.

The tax information contained in this PDS only applies to individual Australian tax resident investors who are either an Australian citizen or a permanent visa holder. If you are investing as a non-resident investor or a temporary visa holder, you should seek tax advice.

Generally, the premium paid to purchase the Insurance is not tax deductible. We do not deduct tax from claim payments, unless required to by law.

If you cancel your Insurance, any amount you receive will not be assessed as income for taxation purposes.

4Fees and other costsThere are no fees or charges payable to us, although you can agree to the payment of fees for financial advice and other services; see below.

We may provide benefits to financial services intermediaries where the law permits us to do so. If we do, we will do so using our own money. We maintain a register of these benefits in accordance with relevant regulatory requirements. If you would like to review this register, please contact us.

No Challenger feesChallenger takes the costs of providing CarePlus (including payments to a third party administrator), into account when

setting the amount of the Annuity regular payments and Insurance premium, and we also make various assumptions about your longevity, potential investment return and our own income.

Adviser service feesYou can authorise us to pay fees for services provided to you by your financial adviser and, in the case of the upfront adviser service fee, for facilitating the issue of CarePlus on behalf of Challenger. Where you authorise that, we will pay those fees to the Australian Financial Services Licensee responsible for supervising your financial adviser (or your financial adviser directly if they are the licensee). You do not have to authorise or consent to the payment of these fees if you choose not to. You can instruct us to pay fees (if any) as outlined in the table below.

4 Calculated in accordance with Australian Government Actuary life expectancy tables and may therefore be different from what we estimate your life expectancy to be.

Upfront adviser service fee

You can agree to the payment of an upfront adviser service fee of up to 0.55% (including GST) of your total CarePlus investment multiplied by your life expectancy4, up to a maximum of 2.2% (including GST). The upfront adviser service fee can only be paid by us with your authorisation.

For example, if you invest $10,000 at a time when your life expectancy is 10 years, you can agree to the payment of an upfront adviser service fee of up to $220, calculated as follows:

0.55% x 10 = 5.5%

This is subject to a cap of 2.2%, so:

2.2% x $10,000 = $220

The dollar value of any upfront adviser service fee that is paid will be shown on your CarePlus quote and reduces the amount of your Annuity regular payments. If you have not received a quote, contact your adviser and request one. The amount of any upfront adviser service fee that we pay will also be shown on the Investor Certificate you receive when you buy CarePlus.

If you cancel your Insurance, or your Annuity ceases due to death, we may require that all or part of the upfront adviser service fee be repaid to us (by your financial adviser). This is because the upfront adviser service fee is calculated on the basis that CarePlus is held for a period at least equal to your life expectancy.

Ongoing adviser service fee

You can agree to the payment of an ongoing adviser service fee up to the amount of your Annuity payment and authorise us to pay it on your behalf. If you agree, the ongoing adviser service fee can be deducted from your regular Annuity payments before they are made to you.

For example, if you agree to pay an annual ongoing adviser service fee of $300 (including GST), and you receive after-tax monthly regular payments of $1,000, we will deduct $25 ($300/12 monthly payments). We will pay an adviser service fee of $25 each month and pay you $975. If you agree to pay an annual ongoing adviser service fee of $300, and you receive yearly after-tax payments of $12,000, we will deduct $300. We will pay an adviser service fee of $300 and pay you $11,700.

The ongoing adviser service fee can be cancelled or varied by you at any time by telling your financial adviser and, if you inform us, we will stop paying those fees (see ‘Keeping us informed’ on page 13).

The annual amount of any ongoing adviser service fee that we pay will be shown on the Investor Certificate you receive when you buy CarePlus. We will also confirm the amount paid each year when we send you your annual statement.

Stamp duty payable by you

Nil. Challenger will pay any applicable stamp duty but will not recover it from you.

Stamp duty equal to 1.5%5 of the Insurance premium paid will be deducted from either the sum insured before it is paid to beneficiaries (in the case of death) or from the termination value before it is paid to you (in the case of voluntary termination).

5 The rate of stamp duty relates to life insurance duty and is current as at the date of this PDS. However, stamp duty laws and rates change from time to time. If there is a change to the rate of applicable stamp duty, this will be reflected on your CarePlus quote and deducted accordingly.

For example, if you choose to be paid monthly, the first payment will be made one month after CarePlus is issued. If you choose to be paid annually, the first payment will be made on the first anniversary of the start of CarePlus.

It is important to keep us informed of any changes.

You cannot transfer your CarePlus or use it as security for borrowing.

How to buy CarePlusYou should read this PDS and the Policy Documents before deciding to buy CarePlus. You will also need to get a quote. Contact your financial adviser for an obligation-free quote. The regular payments we offer and insurance premiums are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect market conditions. Your quote will be valid for 14 days from the date on which we provide it. Your quote will show you the Annuity purchase price and Insurance premium payable for the amount you are investing into CarePlus.

Your CarePlus will be issued once we accept your valid application, and the money you used to buy CarePlus clears.

A valid application must include:

1. a completed and signed application form;

2. your quote (if your quote has expired, then your regular payments and insurance premium will be calculated on the day we process your application);

3. the identity verification documents (outlined in the application form); and

4. your CarePlus investment (see ‘Ways to pay’ below).

We are not bound to accept any application for an Annuity or Insurance, and the issue of these products is subject to us accepting your application and receiving full payment of the capital investment amount.

If your valid application and money are received in our Sydney office before 3.00pm Sydney time on a NSW business day (the cut-off time), your application will generally be processed on that day. If your valid application and money are received after the cut-off time, or on a non-business day, your application will generally be processed on the next NSW business day.

Ways to payYou can pay for your CarePlus by providing your capital investment amount by direct debit or by cheque.

Direct debit: You can arrange for the money to be debited from your bank account by completing the direct debit facility section of the application form. All direct debits are subject to the Direct Debit Request Agreement attached to the application form.

Cheque: You can pay by cheque by making the cheque payable to ‘Challenger Life Company Limited <insert the name of the investor>’ and attaching it to the application form.

Managing your CarePlusInformation you will receive about your CarePlusWhen you buy your CarePlus, you will be sent Investor Certificates which, together with the Policy Documents contained in this PDS, set out the relevant terms and conditions. We will also send you a Centrelink schedule for social security purposes. You should read these documents carefully and contact your financial adviser if you have any questions.

Please keep your Policy Documents and Investor Certificates in a secure place, as they are important documents. A charge may apply if you misplace these documents, as we may advertise for missing policies, and the Life Act allows us to recover some of these expenses from the investor.

Whilst we take all care in producing your Investor Certificates and other investment documentation, we reserve the right to correct the documentation if we make an administrative error.

Each year, you will receive an annual statement with details of your CarePlus, including payments made over the period and other relevant information. We will send you a PAYG payment summary and tax information to assist you in completing your annual tax return.

We may also request evidence to confirm your continued eligibility to receive regular payments from your Annuity.

Making changes to your CarePlusYou can cancel or change an Insurance beneficiary nomination, but you cannot make any other changes to your CarePlus once it has started. You cannot make additional deposits to your CarePlus, but you can buy a new CarePlus on separate terms. You can make changes to the personal information that Challenger holds about you.

Keeping us informedIt is important that we have correct contact details for you so that we can communicate with you and provide you with important information.

You should speak to your financial adviser or call the number listed on the inside back cover to update contact details or to make enquiries.

All other instructions should be made in writing and sent to the address listed on the inside back cover.

When writing to us, please:

• quote your client or policy number;

• state the full name in which your investment is held;

• clearly set out your request;

• provide us with a contact name and daytime telephone number; and

• ensure that the request is signed and dated.

Some changes also require additional supporting documentation (such as a change of name request, where we require a certified copy of the marriage certificate or deed poll). We will only change your nominated bank account if we receive an original, signed and dated, written request.

6Other information

Social securityCentrelink and Department of Veterans’ Affairs entitlements are determined by two means tests – an assets test and an income test.

CarePlus is assessed as two different products.

CarePlus Annuity

Assets test Income test

The capital investment less 50% of the deduction amount6, calculated every six months in arrears (or 100% of the deduction amount every 12 months in arrears where yearly payments are made).

Regular payments received, less the deduction amount6.

CarePlus Insurance

Assets test Income test

The termination value is the assessable asset value.

As no income is payable, the amount assessed is zero.

The social security treatment of your CarePlus under the assets test and the income test will be outlined in your quote.

If you cancel your Insurance, any amount you receive that is more than the premium you paid for the Insurance will be assessed as income for 12 months.

This is general information only, and we recommend you get advice regarding your individual circumstances. Your local Centrelink or Department of Veterans’ Affairs office can help answer any question you may have. Your financial adviser can also help.

Cooling-off rightsBy law, investors have a cooling-off right. This means you can change your mind about buying the CarePlus products and ask for your capital to be repaid. The cooling-off right must be exercised within 14 days from the earlier of:

• when you receive confirmation your CarePlus has started; or

• the end of the fifth business day after the day you bought your CarePlus.

If you wish to exercise your cooling-off right, we must receive your written instructions within 14 days. You must return your original Policy Documents and Investor Certificates.

Please send the original Policy Documents and Investor Certificates to the address listed on the inside back cover.

If you have any questions about cooling-off rights, please contact your financial adviser. You cannot exercise cooling-off rights after the death of the investor.

Changes to terms and conditionsWe may change the terms and conditions of your Annuity and/or Insurance if changes to tax or other law impact your investment, or if necessary to comply with any law, ruling or determination of any relevant government authority.

We will notify you of any change before, or as soon as practicable after, the change, but no later than 12 months after the change has occurred (or three months if the change is materially adverse).

Incomplete or rejected application formsTo ensure that your application is processed efficiently, it is important that you:

• complete all sections of the application form;

• provide all required identity verification documents outlined in the application form; and

• attach a valid quote to the application form.

We have provided a checklist with the application form to help you meet these requirements.

If your application form is not complete, we may not be able to proceed until the required information is received. In these situations, we may:

• attempt to contact you and/or your financial adviser (if applicable); and/or

• hold your application money in a non-interest bearing account until we receive the required information.

Money may be held for a maximum period of 30 days (in a non-interest bearing account) from the day we receive the funds. After this period, your money will be returned to you via cheque. Your CarePlus will start on the day that all outstanding information is received by us (or the next NSW business day if received after 3.00pm or on a non-business day in NSW), and you will receive the Challenger rates and premiums applicable at that time.

6 The deduction amount applicable to your Annuity will be shown on your quote.

Customer identification programIn accordance with Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing legislation, we need verification of your identity before the CarePlus can start.

If you are investing via a financial adviser, they will be required to get identity verification documents from you prior to lodging your application.

To do this, your financial adviser will need to see original or certified copies of your identity verification documents and take a copy of them. Your financial adviser will then send us copies of your identity verification documents (or if investing via platform, the record of verification documents sighted) together with your application form. If the application form is signed under power of attorney, we will also need a certified copy of the power of attorney and a specimen signature of the attorney.

If you have not provided identity verification documents to a financial adviser, you will be required to provide certified copies of your identity verification documents directly to us.

The application form explains who can certify documents.

We may be required to ask you for additional identity verification documentation and/or information about you or anyone acting on your behalf, either when we are processing your application or at some stage after we issue CarePlus. We may pass any information we collect and hold about you or your CarePlus to the relevant government authority in accordance with Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing legislation.

Non-resident account holder reporting requirementsAs a result of an increased international focus on account holder data exchange, a number of countries have legislated that financial institutions (which includes us) identify and report certain information about the financial accounts of investors. The regimes include the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and the OECD’s Common Reporting Standard (CRS). The United States FATCA regime is already operational, with the CRS due to commence in Australia from 1 July 2017. To comply with our obligations under various reporting legislation, we will provide to the ATO such data as required in respect of your investment with us.

Your duty of disclosureBefore you enter into an insurance contract, you have a duty to tell us anything that you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, may affect our decision to insure you and on what terms. You have this duty until we agree to insure you. You have the same duty before you extend, vary or reinstate the contract.

You do not need to tell us anything that:

• reduces the risk we insure you for; or

• is common knowledge; or

• we know or should know as an insurer; or

• we waive your duty to tell us about.

If you do not tell us somethingIn exercising the following rights, we may consider whether different types of cover can constitute separate contracts of life insurance. If they do, we may apply the following rights separately to each type of cover.

If you do not tell us anything you are required to, and we would not have insured you if you had told us, we may avoid the contract within three years of entering into it.

For CarePlus Insurance, if we choose not to avoid the contract, we may, at any time, reduce the amount you have been insured for. This would be worked out using a formula that takes into account the premium that would have been payable if you had told us everything you should have. We may only exercise this right within three years of entering into the contract.

For CarePlus Annuity, if we choose not to avoid the contract or reduce the amount you have been insured for, we may, at any time, vary the contract in a way that places us in the same position we would have been in if you had told us everything you should have.

If your failure to tell us is fraudulent, we may refuse to pay a claim and treat the contract as if it never existed.

Your policy consists of two parts: this Policy Document and the Investor Certificate you receive when you invest. You should read these documents carefully and keep them in a safe place.

In this Policy Document, references to ‘you’ and ‘your’ are references to the policy owner.

Your policy is a legal contract between you and Challenger Life Company Limited (ABN 44 072 486 938) (Challenger Life) (also referred to as ‘we’, ‘our’, and ‘us’). This Policy Document is deemed to be issued to you only after your valid application form is accepted by Challenger Life and the money used to purchase the policy clears. Whilst we take all care in producing your Investor Certificate and other investment documentation, we reserve the right to correct the documentation if we make an administrative error.

For the purpose of this Policy Document, the policy owner is the life insured.

1. Commencement dateThe commencement date of your policy will be the date that your application is accepted by Challenger Life. The first regular payment will be made at the end of the payment frequency period you have chosen, calculated from the commencement date.

2. TermThe policy provides regular payments for the duration of your life, no matter how long you live. Regular payments will stop when you die.

3. Regular paymentsThe purchase price you paid purchases the regular payments described in your Investor Certificate. The payments will be made monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly (as chosen at the

start of the policy) for the duration of the life insured’s life. Regular payments will stop when the life insured dies. The payment frequency you have chosen is shown in the Investor Certificate.

The payments will be paid by electronic transfer to your bank, building society or credit union account. Your regular payments are fixed for the duration of the policy. The policy does not have a residual capital value.

4. Withdrawal valueThe policy does not have a withdrawal value.

10. Policy cessationUpon your death, the policy ceases. There is no pro rata of regular payments between the last regular payment date and the date of death.

Where regular payments are made after your death outside the terms of this policy, Challenger Life may recover the overpayments from the estate.

12. General informationYour policy cannot be used as security for borrowing. You cannot transfer your policy.

• for concessional tax treatment in relation to payments by Challenger Life;

is deemed to be included in this Policy Document for so long as such requirement must be complied with.

15. Communications with usWhere we receive communications in relation to your policy, whether by fax, email or otherwise in writing, or by telephone, we will not be liable to you for any loss you may suffer as a result of a fraudulent communication received by us without your knowledge, unless that loss is a result of our negligence.

In this Policy Document, references to ‘you’ and ‘your’ are references to the policy owner.

Your policy is a legal contract between you and Challenger Life Company Limited (ABN 44 072 486 938) (Challenger Life) (also referred to as ‘we’, ‘our’, and ‘us’).

For the purpose of this Policy Document, the policy owner is the life insured.

1. Commencement dateThe commencement date of your policy will be the date that your application is accepted by Challenger Life.

2. TermThe policy provides cover for the duration of your life (unless you choose to cancel the policy), no matter how long you live. Cover ceases when you die.

The termination value we pay you is subject to a minimum prescribed under the Life Insurance Act 1995 (Cth) and prudential standards enforced by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.

To calculate the termination value, we will work out the discounted value of the sum insured based on the future probabilities of death at the time of calculation. The sum insured is discounted at a rate no more than that prescribed by law, which is currently the yield on a 10-year Commonwealth Government Security, plus 3%.

The termination value calculation may be amended to reflect legislative change.

We must receive notice of any claim for payment as soon as reasonably possible.

11. Nominated beneficiaries You can nominate anyone to be your beneficiary or beneficiaries. Your beneficiary nomination can be changed at any time.

If you nominate a single beneficiary, upon satisfactory proof of your death we will pay that beneficiary a lump sum. If the single beneficiary predeceases you, we will make the lump sum payment to your estate.

If you nominate multiple beneficiaries, upon satisfactory proof of your death we will pay those beneficiaries a lump sum in the proportions you have specified, or otherwise in equal proportions. If a beneficiary predeceases you, their proportion will be distributed pro rata to the remaining beneficiaries. If all beneficiaries predecease you, we will make the lump sum payment to your estate.

Where a beneficiary nomination is made under power of attorney, an attorney nominating themselves must have the specific authority under the power of attorney to give themselves that benefit. The nomination will be assessed at the time of claim and, if the power of attorney did not contain such a power when the nomination was made, the nomination in favour of the attorney will be considered invalid and will automatically be payable to the life insured’s estate.

If you have not made a valid nomination, we will pay the lump sum to your estate.
