2022 Actuarial Graduate

Welcome to This Australian Life.

From the millions of Australian's, we protect, to those that make it happen every day at TAL, people really are what we're all about. TAL needs people who represent our diverse Australian community.   

People who embrace our spirit and inspire confidence in their colleagues, customers and community. People who are passionate about making the most of the choices and options we provide.  People who do what's right, aim high, and work smart. 

As an Actuarial Graduate

The Actuarial teams have three main functions across the business and have been structured accordingly: Finance Actuarial, Group Pricing, Individual Pricing & Value.

Within Finance Actuarial, we estimate the future liabilities that TAL will face and set aside sufficient funds to ensure that we can meet future claim payments when they arise. We are structured in alignment with our different products and the channels through which they are sold.

Within Group Pricing, we primarily work with our superannuation fund partners to support their members with an insurance offering that meets their best interests. We may be dedicated to a single client or a portfolio of clients, working closely with other functions of the business to provide a holistic insurance solution to our partners.

Within Individual Pricing & Value, we support our customers who are sold products via our Retail and Direct channels. We are often involved in enhancing our flagship products to remain industry-leading, while managing our older products to ensure that the needs of our customers continue to be met.
