Why Life Insurance Applications in Australia Are Getting Harder — And What the Data Shows

Written by Christopher Hall, AdvDipFP | Authorised Representative, AFSL 526688 | April 2026

Last updated: April 2026 Life insurance applications in Australia have become significantly more complex, more time-consuming, and more likely to return an outcome that differs from what the applicant expected. This is not a random shift. The ABS 2022 National Health Survey documents the population-level health changes that explain it: 65.8% of Australian adults are overweight or obese, 75.2% do not meet physical activity guidelines, and 23.3% have measured high blood pressure. These are the risk factors that life insurers assess at application — and they are now present at scale across the population.

From more than 500 life insurance policy reviews across TAL, AIA, ClearView, Zurich, MetLife, OnePath, NEOS, PPS Mutual and Encompass, approximately three in four applications now involve some form of extended medical assessment — GP records, blood tests, specialist reports, or nursing assessment. (C. Hall, Arrow Equities, 500+ policy reviews, 2026) A decade ago, clean applications with no additional medical requests were the norm. Today they are the exception.

This article uses the ABS NHS 2022 data to explain why Australia's population health profile has changed, how those changes translate directly into what happens when you apply for life insurance, and what the practical implications are for applicants with any health history.

For context on broader developments across the Australian life insurance industry, including changes affecting underwriting and product availability, the industry news hub is updated regularly. As a specialist life insurance adviser who has worked across the full insurer panel for over twenty years, the patterns I describe here are consistent across every application we process.

Australia's Health Profile Has Measurably Changed — and Life Insurance Underwriting Reflects It

The ABS 2022 National Health Survey — the most comprehensive population health dataset in Australia — shows that the risk factors most closely scrutinised by life insurance underwriters are now present in the majority of the Australian adult population.

ABS NHS 2022: Health Risk Factors — Australian Adults Aged 18 and Over

Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, National Health Survey 2022, Table 6.3 — Health risk factors by population characteristics, persons 18 years and over. Released 15 December 2023.

Three in four Australian adults do not meet physical activity guidelines. Two in three are overweight or obese. Nearly one in four has measured high blood pressure. Each of these factors appears on a life insurance application and triggers its own assessment pathway.

These are not marginal statistics. They describe the health profile of the majority of the applicant population. When the majority of applicants carry the risk factors that trigger medical scrutiny, the majority of applications require extended assessment. That is the direct connection between Australia's population health data and the experience of applying for life insurance in 2026.

"What we're seeing in applications is entirely consistent with what the data shows. The clean application — no medical requests, no additional questions, approved within days — was standard a decade ago. Today it's exceptional. The data tells you why: the risk factors that trigger medical assessment are now the norm rather than the exception across the population we're insuring." — Christopher Hall (C. Hall, Arrow Equities, 500+ policy reviews, 2026)

This shift has not happened overnight. There was a modest increase in the complexity of underwriting across the five years prior to 2022. The pace accelerated from around 2023, with a dramatic increase in the last two years specifically, and a continued steady climb in the last six months. The trajectory is clear and the data supports it.

How Population Health Risk Factors Become Insurance Underwriting Decisions

Each of the risk factors the ABS documents maps directly to a specific underwriting assessment pathway — and the prevalence of those factors in the population explains why most applications now return with additional medical information requests.

BMI and weight: 65.8% of Australian adults are overweight or obese (ABS NHS 2022). Above a certain BMI threshold — which varies across the insurer panel — an application triggers extended cardiac and metabolic underwriting. This may involve a nursing assessment (height, weight, blood pressure, urine sample) or a blood test panel covering cholesterol, blood glucose, liver and kidney function. With nearly two thirds of the adult population in this category, a large proportion of applications are affected before any other health factor is considered.

Blood pressure: 23.3% of Australian adults have measured high blood pressure above the clinical threshold (ABS NHS 2022). A blood pressure reading flagged during a nursing assessment, or blood pressure medication disclosed on an application, prompts requests for current readings, medication details, and GP records. This is increasingly common as a standalone trigger, separate from any other health history.

Physical inactivity: 75.2% of adults do not meet activity guidelines (ABS NHS 2022). Physical inactivity compounds musculoskeletal and metabolic risk over time and is increasingly factored into long-term risk assessment, particularly for income protection and TPD.

When a risk factor is flagged, the application enters one of four pathways, each with a different outcome:

"Every application that flags a risk factor has one of four outcomes: standard terms, a loading, an exclusion, or a decline. The most common outcome for the risk factors the ABS documents — BMI, blood pressure, managed metabolic conditions — is a loading. That means the insurer will offer cover, but at a higher premium than the clean application rate. The loading may be removable when circumstances change. A good adviser will seek removal when that threshold is reached." — Christopher Hall (C. Hall, Arrow Equities, 500+ policy reviews, 2026)

There is also a less-discussed fourth outcome that sits between a loading and a formal decline: when an application presents three or more separate conditions or exclusion triggers, the insurer may decline to process the application not because the combined risk is medically unacceptable, but because the cost of obtaining records from multiple medical practitioners makes the application commercially unviable to assess. This is a commercial decision, not a medical one. Knowing this threshold exists — and structuring the application approach around it — is part of what an adviser does before recommending where and whether to apply formally.

For guidance on what to disclose and how, the pre-existing conditions and life insurance article covers the disclosure obligations in detail. For the most common disclosure mistakes and their consequences, medical disclosure in insurance applications addresses the practical application.

Mental Health Is Now the Most Frequently Flagged Area in Life Insurance Applications — The ABS Data Explains Why

The ABS 2022 National Health Survey shows that mental and behavioural conditions affect 30.9% of Australians aged 25–34 and 27.1% of those aged 35–44. Mental health history is now the single most commonly flagged complication in life insurance applications.

ABS NHS 2022: Mental Health Conditions by Age Group — All Persons (%)

Source: ABS NHS 2022, Table 3.3 — Long-term health conditions by age, All Persons. Released 15 December 2023.

Nearly one in three Australians in their late twenties and thirties carries a diagnosed mental or behavioural condition. This is not a marginal group. It is the core of the working-age insured population. And it is the primary reason that mental health has become the most consistently flagged area in new applications across the insurer panel.

Part of this reflects a genuine increase in prevalence. But part of it reflects something more specific to Australia's healthcare response to Covid-19.

"Mental health prevalence in applications has increased significantly in the last few years, and that's partly a function of Covid-19. The Medicare Mental Health Treatment Plan initiative encouraged many Australians to seek psychological support — which was a genuine public health benefit. But it's also been a double-edged sword. The moment an Australian accesses mental health support through Medicare, there is a record. And that record appears when an insurer requests GP notes or medical history during underwriting. The intent of the programme was to make mental health treatment more accessible. The insurance consequence is that more Australians now have mental health history on file." — Christopher Hall (C. Hall, Arrow Equities, 500+ policy reviews, 2026)

The ABS data showing nearly one in three working-age Australians with a diagnosed mental or behavioural condition is consistent with an insured population where mental health has become the most common flag at underwriting. TAL's published claims data for 2024–25 shows mental and behavioural disorders as the single largest cause of TPD claims at 25% of all claims paid — underwriters are pricing accordingly.

What matters most in the underwriting assessment is not simply whether treatment occurred, but the circumstances surrounding it. A person who completed a Medicare Mental Health Treatment Plan during a difficult period several years ago and has been symptom-free since faces a very different assessment than someone with ongoing active treatment. The distinction requires an adviser who has navigated this across multiple insurers repeatedly — it is not assessable from a product comparison page.

For analysis of the mental health claims data and what it means for TPD policyholders, the TPD mental health claims analysis covers this in detail, including the Swiss Re market pause.

The Conditions That Generate Loadings — Including Some That Surprise Applicants

The conditions most commonly generating loadings on Australian life insurance applications are those most prevalent in the ABS data — overweight and obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. But some well-managed conditions that applicants expect to be problematic are assessed far more favourably than they anticipate.

ABS NHS 2022: Selected Conditions by Age Group — All Persons (%)

Source: ABS NHS 2022, Table 3.3 — Long-term health conditions by age, All Persons. Released 15 December 2023.

Musculoskeletal conditions affect more than one in four Australians aged 35–44 and more than one in three by age 45–54. These conditions — back problems, arthritis, soft tissue injuries — are among the most common exclusion triggers for income protection and TPD applications. They are also among the most variable in their underwriting treatment: a well-documented, fully recovered shoulder injury is assessed very differently from an ongoing, progressive spinal condition.

"We consistently see that cholesterol and blood pressure medication is so common that many advisers and clients assume it's going to be a major problem. Often it isn't — if the condition is well-managed and documented, the loading may be modest. What surprises clients far more is when a minor internal condition they haven't thought about for years comes back as a significant underwriting flag. These are conditions that have no impact on their daily life, require no medication, and may only need monitoring every five or ten years. But from an insurer's perspective, they're writing a contract that potentially extends over decades. That early marker has to be factored into the pricing — the insurer is on the hook for however long the client holds the policy." — Christopher Hall (C. Hall, Arrow Equities, 500+ policy reviews, 2026)

Two conditions worth noting specifically, because the gap between client expectation and underwriting reality is particularly wide:

Sleep apnoea is commonly assumed to be a serious application complication. It frequently is not. If the applicant is using a CPAP machine consistently and can provide compliance data from the device, this is often treated as a well-managed condition and assessed at standard or near-standard terms. The compliance data itself is the evidence of active management.

Thyroid conditions on stable medication are similarly more manageable than many clients expect. A stable TSH level on consistent medication, with no recent dose changes, is typically assessed straightforwardly. The underwriting concern relates to instability, not the condition itself.

Understanding which conditions are genuinely consequential and which are manageable is adviser-level knowledge. It determines how an application is sequenced and presented — and sometimes whether it proceeds at all.

Why Applications Take So Long — Australia's Healthcare System and the GP Data Problem

Australia's world-class healthcare system creates a specific friction point in life insurance applications. The most common cause of delays is GP record requests — and the reason is directly connected to the features of Medicare that make it one of the best healthcare systems in the world.

The early detection system and what it means for insurance records

Australia's Medicare system actively incentivises early detection and preventative medicine. It is funded on the understanding that the cost of treating a condition early is far lower than the cost of treating it at an advanced stage. One observation from health economics is that a significant proportion of a person's lifetime healthcare costs occur in the final period of their life — and early detection defers or reduces that burden.

The consequence for insurance is that Australians are among the most thoroughly diagnosed populations in the world. Conditions that would go undetected in other healthcare systems appear on record in Australia because early screening is subsidised and actively encouraged. When an insurer requests medical records, they receive a rich picture.

"There's a positive reason for all of this. Australia's Medicare system is world-leading. It encourages early detection because early treatment is cheaper and better for the patient. The consequence is that Australians are extensively diagnosed. And when an insurer requests medical records, they get a picture that reflects a genuinely comprehensive medical system — not a sick population." — Christopher Hall (C. Hall, Arrow Equities, 500+ policy reviews, 2026)

The GP record request problem

When an application flags a health condition, the insurer requests records from the applicant's GP. This is where the process slows.

"GPs are the gatekeepers of the client's own medical data. Insurers have tried to streamline this — offering to have their teams call the GP, answer specific questions in a five to fifteen minute phone consultation that the GP gets paid for. In our experience, very few GPs take that call. Instead, they write letters — often incomplete, rarely answering the specific questions the insurer needs — and charge approximately three times what a phone consultation would cost. Those costs flow through the system. They contribute to application timelines and, through the cost of medical record retrieval across thousands of applications, they contribute to premium levels across the market." — Christopher Hall (C. Hall, Arrow Equities, 500+ policy reviews, 2026)

The claims cost feedback loop

Higher claim costs over the past several years have required insurers to more carefully assess new applications. More medical information is requested. That information is expensive and slow to obtain. Those costs are factored into premiums — which drives further scrutiny. The ABS health data explains why this loop is accelerating: more of the population carries the risk factors that trigger the most intensive medical assessments.

Indicative application timelines

These are observed ranges from 500+ policy reviews and will vary by insurer and by the specific health history involved:

Why Trying a Different Insurer May Not Solve the Problem

Behind Australia's nine main life insurers — TAL, AIA, ClearView, Zurich, MetLife, OnePath, NEOS, PPS Mutual and Encompass — virtually all new applications flow to one of two main reinsurers. Moving from one insurer to what appears to be a competitor may mean facing the same medical assessment criteria from the same underlying reinsurer.

The nine main insurers also white-label to many additional brands that Australians encounter when searching online. What looks like a wide range of options often sits behind the same nine underwriting frameworks — and those nine, in turn, sit behind two main reinsurers who hold the underlying risk and inform the medical assessment criteria.

"What many applicants — and even many people who have worked in the industry for a long time — don't realise is that going from one insurer to another doesn't always mean a different medical outcome. If both insurers sit with the same reinsurer, the criteria flowing through to the application may be essentially the same. A person who has been declined by one insurer and then applies directly to the next name on a comparison site is taking a significant risk: a prior decline must be disclosed on all future applications, with all insurers, permanently. If the second application also declines, they're carrying two disclosable events into every future application indefinitely." — Christopher Hall (C. Hall, Arrow Equities, 500+ policy reviews, 2026)

Where variation does matter — lookback periods

Significant variation exists across the insurer panel in how far back they look at medical history. Some insurers ask whether the applicant has ever, at any point in their life, experienced certain conditions, taken specific medications, or seen particular specialists. These insurers tend to generate more exclusions and loadings because they are drawing on a wider historical picture.

Other insurers restrict their questions to the past five years — which is more clinically relevant to current risk and more proportionate in its assessment of conditions that resolved many years ago. For applicants with health history that falls outside a five-year window, the insurer asking the narrower question may produce a materially different outcome.

Identifying which insurer's lookback criteria and underwriting framework best suits a specific medical history — before any formal application is lodged — is a primary mechanism through which an adviser adds measurable value for applicants with health complexity.

For context on the adviser exodus and what it means for policyholders navigating the market without specialist guidance, your insurance adviser left the industry explains the implications of the dramatic reduction in life risk specialists over the past decade.

Why the Life Insurance Quote You Found Online Is Rarely the Price You'll Actually Pay

Online life insurance quotes assume the applicant is in perfect health. Given the ABS data — 65.8% of Australian adults overweight or obese, 75.2% not meeting activity guidelines — the proportion of applicants who qualify for that minimum rate is substantially smaller than comparison sites imply.

"When we work with a client as an adviser, we ask the questions upfront that are likely to affect the premium. The quote we provide is more realistic — which often means it's higher than what the client saw online. But those online prices are the minimum possible premium for someone in perfect health, as assessed by that specific insurer. Discovering the real price only after weeks of medical assessment, blood tests, and GP record requests is a far worse experience than understanding the realistic range from the outset." — Christopher Hall (C. Hall, Arrow Equities, 500+ policy reviews, 2026)

With approximately three in four applications now involving some form of medical assessment, the online clean-rate quote is not a realistic guide for the majority of applicants. A loading — a premium addition reflecting elevated risk — is the most common outcome of that assessment. An exclusion is the second most common. Neither is disclosed in the online quote.

The practical consequence is that many applicants enter the underwriting process with an expectation set by an online price that does not reflect their actual health profile. The process then feels like a bait-and-switch when the adjusted offer arrives. It is not — it is the standard outcome for the majority of Australians applying for life insurance in 2026.

For guidance on how to benchmark what you are actually paying against realistic market rates, the life insurance premium benchmarking article explains what a genuine like-for-like comparison looks like. For a broader understanding of what to look for beyond price when comparing policies, how to compare insurance policies covers the features that matter.

What Applicants With Health History May Want to Consider

For applicants with any health history — which the ABS data suggests is the majority of Australians in the 35–55 age group — the sequence in which they approach a life insurance application can have a material effect on the outcome. The following considerations may be worth discussing with a licensed financial adviser before any formal application is lodged.

Step 1 — Applicants with health history may find it worthwhile to speak with a licensed adviser before submitting a direct application.

A declined application is generally a disclosable event that applicants are required to disclose on future applications. Many applicants are unaware of this at the time they first apply without guidance. Understanding the likely outcome before applying — rather than discovering it after — is something many people find valuable, particularly where any health flag exists.

Step 2 — Engage an adviser before any formal application is lodged.

An adviser with panel access across the nine major insurers can identify which insurer's lookback period and underwriting criteria best suits a specific health history before any formal commitment is made. This is the single most valuable input an adviser provides for applicants with health complexity — and it is not available through any online tool or direct application process.

Step 3 — Use the pre-assessment pathway.

An informal pre-assessment submitted through an adviser establishes what terms are likely to apply — standard, loaded, excluded, or declined — without creating a disclosable event. This pathway is not accessible to individuals applying directly. It is part of the adviser's working relationship with the insurer's underwriting team.

Step 4 — Get a realistic quote, not an online minimum.

An adviser who asks the right questions upfront can provide a quote that reflects actual likely terms given your health profile. The gap between that quote and the final offer is far smaller than the gap between an online minimum and the final underwritten result.

For a full explanation of what a professional review involves and what it produces, how a professional life insurance review works covers the process clearly. If you are considering cancelling existing cover because the premium has increased, should I cancel my life insurance addresses what to consider first — particularly if your health has changed since the original policy was established. If your policy was written before 2021, pre-2021 insurance policy features worth keeping explains why some existing cover may be irreplaceable.

Frequently Asked Questions: Life Insurance Applications and Medical Assessment in Australia

Is it harder to get life insurance in Australia now than it was ten years ago?

Yes — materially so, with a dramatic acceleration in the past two years. The ABS 2022 National Health Survey shows 65.8% of Australian adults are overweight or obese, 75.2% do not meet physical activity guidelines, and 23.3% have measured high blood pressure. These risk factors are now present across the majority of the applicant population, meaning most applications trigger some form of medical assessment. A decade ago, clean applications requiring no additional medical information were the norm. Today they are exceptional.

Why is my life insurance application taking so long?

The most common cause is a GP record request. When an application flags a health condition, the insurer requests medical records from the applicant's GP. GPs have no obligation to prioritise these requests, and turnaround typically ranges from two to six weeks. Records provided are frequently incomplete, requiring follow-up requests. Blood test requirements and specialist reports add further time. An application with no health flags can be processed in days. An application with a complex history involving multiple practitioners can take several months.

Why did my life insurance quote change after the medical assessment?

Online life insurance quotes assume the applicant is in perfect health. The majority of applications now involve medical assessment that adjusts the final offer. A loading — a premium addition reflecting elevated risk — is the most common outcome for risk factors including BMI above the insurer's standard range, managed blood pressure or cholesterol, and combinations of metabolic factors. Advisers who ask the right questions upfront can provide a more realistic initial estimate, reducing the gap between the online price and the underwritten result.

Does mental health history affect life insurance applications in Australia?

Yes. Mental and behavioural conditions affect approximately 31% of Australians aged 25–34 and 27% of those aged 35–44, according to the ABS 2022 National Health Survey. Any mental health treatment accessed through Medicare — including through the Mental Health Treatment Plan — appears in medical records requested during underwriting. The impact on the application depends on the nature and recency of treatment, whether it is ongoing, and the specific circumstances. A short, resolved episode assessed several years ago is treated very differently from active ongoing treatment.

What conditions are most likely to trigger a loading on a life insurance application?

The most common loading triggers are BMI above the insurer's standard range, managed blood pressure or cholesterol medication, and combinations of metabolic risk factors. Some applicants are surprised that minor internal conditions — those requiring no medication and only periodic monitoring — can generate loadings, because insurers price for the full potential duration of the policy, which may extend over decades. Conditions applicants expect to cause problems, such as well-managed sleep apnoea with CPAP compliance data or stable thyroid conditions on consistent medication, frequently produce more favourable outcomes than anticipated.

Is it worth trying a different insurance company if I have been declined?

Possibly — but the answer depends on the structure of the market. Behind Australia's nine main life insurers, most new applications flow to one of two main reinsurers. Moving from one insurer to a competitor may produce the same outcome if both sit with the same reinsurer. More importantly, a prior decline must be disclosed on all future applications with all insurers permanently. Before making another application, an adviser can run informal pre-assessments across multiple insurers simultaneously to identify which is most likely to offer favourable terms — without creating another disclosable event.

Why do life insurers contact my GP for records?

GP records are the primary source of medical history for underwriting purposes. When an application discloses a health condition, the insurer requests records for the relevant period — typically five to ten years. The applicant provides written authority. GPs hold this data and the process of obtaining it is often slow and costly — a significant contributor to application delays and, through the aggregate cost of medical record retrieval across thousands of applications, to premium levels across the market.

Can I get life insurance if I have multiple health conditions?

In most cases, yes — but complexity increases with each additional condition. When three or more separate conditions are present, insurers may decline to process the application not because the combined risk is unacceptable, but because the cost of obtaining records from multiple medical practitioners makes the application commercially unviable to assess. This is a commercial decision, not a medical one. Understanding this threshold before applying — and identifying the most suitable insurer through a pre-assessment — is the primary value an adviser provides for applicants with complex medical histories.

What is a pre-assessment for life insurance in Australia?

A pre-assessment is an informal, confidential inquiry made to an insurer's underwriting team before any formal application is lodged. It establishes what terms are likely to apply — standard, loaded, excluded, or declined — for a specific health history. No formal application is submitted, so no disclosable event is created. This pathway is accessible through a licensed financial adviser with panel relationships across multiple insurers and is not available to individuals applying directly. It is the most effective mechanism for applicants with health history to understand their position before committing to a formal application.

Why does the life insurance quote I found online look so much cheaper than what I was actually offered?

Online quotes assume the applicant qualifies for the minimum premium, which requires perfect health as assessed by that insurer. Given that approximately three in four life insurance applications now involve some form of medical assessment, the majority of applicants do not qualify for the minimum rate. A medical assessment returning a loading is the most common adjustment between the initial online price and the final underwritten offer. Advisers who account for likely health factors at the quoting stage provide a more realistic initial estimate — reducing the gap and the disappointment that comes with it.

Book a Free Consultation

The ABS data confirms what the application experience reflects: Australia's health profile has changed, and life insurance underwriting has changed with it. For the majority of applicants — those carrying any of the risk factors the ABS documents at scale across the population — the process of applying for life insurance is more involved, more time-consuming, and more likely to return a different outcome than the online quote suggested.

Understanding your position before you apply — through a pre-assessment across TAL, AIA, ClearView, Zurich, MetLife, OnePath, NEOS, PPS Mutual and Encompass — is what turns a difficult process into a navigable one.
