Career support for members impacted by COVID

TAL has always been focused on helping Australians through life’s biggest challenges. In these challenging times, we understand it’s not just lives, but also livelihoods that are at risk due to the economic impacts of COVID-19.

While life insurance may cover your members when they’re unable to work due to illness or injury, we understand the important role that being employed and feeling financially secure can play in the overall health and wellbeing of Australians. With over 2.3 million people already accessing the Government’s Early Release Scheme (ERS) ¹, it’s clear that many super fund members are being challenged through a loss of income at this time due to changes to their employment.

That’s why we’ve partnered with a leading career support organisation, Career Management Services (CMS), to provide your members with access to resources, tools and expertise if their employment has been impacted or they’re facing uncertainty about their career and the job market.

Helping members get back on track

Our career support initiative includes a range of content and articles, including:

• advice for job hunters;
• writing a winning cover letter;
• designing a resume to get interviews;
• building a successful LinkedIn profile; and
• top tips for interview preparation.

A little extra support

For members already feeling confident and ready to continue their job search, we’re providing access to the CMS job search portal. Updated daily, new jobs and hiring opportunities are posted by sector or industry with technical and professional roles covered.

How your fund can get involved
