The staff were really helpful in assessing our requirements for medical insurance to ensure we got the cover we wanted. Thank you for your patience

Very fast and easy
Very fast and easy. It was a pleasure to deal with you, I`ve got almost instant call back and my policy was ready in next couple of days. Customer support was friendly and answered all my questions. Highly recommended.

Happy with results
To be honest, the process was quite efficient and reliable. Previously, I had submitted three quotes to the AIA this year, but I had not received any responses; I decided to proceed with LifeDirect. The following day, Liam initiated the process and promptly kept me informed of all developments.

Life Direct cares about the numbers
Life Direct claims to give you a $1000 Cash Back. I thought the $1k would be nice to receive but didn’t get it. Firstly one has to wait 13 months not 12 months. Then you wait for your Cash Back as it is released in “ batches.”
Talk about feeling just like a number. Overall very disappointing customer service from Life Direct. People/Customers aren’t numbers!

Reply from LifeDirect
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent experience with LifeDirect. I’m sorry to hear that you felt there was a lack of customer service and that your concerns weren’t fully addressed.
I understand you were looking for clarification on the $1,000 cashback, and while we couldn’t find any records of communication about that amount, we appreciate your feedback and want you to know we’re working on improving our website’s terms and conditions based on client input like yours.
I realise we didn’t come to an understanding during the call you had with our compliance team, and we genuinely want to resolve your concerns. If you’d like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us again.
Prompt communications
Prompt communications and emailing information updates, thank you for the great work.

Loooooooooong waiting times with NO feedback
Life direct applications take forever. Feedback is non extant. Follow up on applications is super poor. Not sure if this company should be rated this high but I have a bad experience and a looooooong waiting time with no feedback
