Low cost loans, insurance and grants.
We provide Aviators with financial support via a range of low cost loans, insurance and grants. To offer maximum benefit, at the lowest cost, from 17 Nov 25 our loans:
General Purpose Loan (previously Group Life, Professional Development and Long Service) up to $6,500, with loan term up to 2 years
Home Improvement Loan between $6,500 and $10,000 with loan term up to 4 years
Emergency Loan up to $1,000
All repaid via your pay
Access to loans is no longer dependent on Group Life Insurance (GLI) membership, but GLI members are entitled to the lowest available loan fees: General Purpose 3% p.a. and Home Improvement 4% p.a.
Non-GLI member loans incur an additional 0.5% p.a. loan fee.
Grants are available to Aviators (now including SERCAT 3 – 5 Reservists). Support may be available in some cases to former Aviators or their dependants.
Loans and Group Life Insurance are available for SERCAT 6 and 7 Aviators on completion of initial training (1RTU / OTS / ADFA). Reserve Aviators undertaking Continuous Full Time Service for at least 6 months are also eligible.
Grants are available to Aviators (now including SERCAT 3 – 5 Reservists). Support may also be available in some cases to former serving Aviators or their dependants.
