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.
Group Life & Investments at TAL
Group Life and Investments is made of three distinct functions:
Group Life - we partner with some of Australia's leading superannuation funds, including the likes of Australian Super, Aware Super, Cbus, Rest, and many more. We are deliberately structured around the commercial growth and development of our partnerships, and our strategic focus on continually improving and innovating our partner and member propositions.
Investments - despite our heritage as a life insurer, TAL also maintains an in-force portfolio of investment products and manages almost $4bn of assets for nearly 60,000 customers. Investments provide technical expertise and trustee partner support to our Retail Life teams in respect of insurance policies sold through superannuation.
Health Services – we want our customers to feel empowered so that they can live their best life. Based on three key pillars - physical health, mental health and financial health, our health services model is embedded across every stage of the customer journey. From Product, pricing, underwriting, claims and innovation, our business draws on the medical and financial technical expertise of our health services professionals to help deliver personalised and tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of our customers.

Reviews
My day to day mainly includes working on innovation/engineering/uplift projects, up until recently.
Market research, evaluating strategic ambitions, building presentations, storylines and narratives.
The day-to-day responsibilities vary in each rotation. From my experience, most of the week is spent working on a project that the team has prioritised, while also spending some time on a task on another project. I also try to find at least a few hours each week to prioritise my professional development as a way to upskill.

Pros and cons of working at TAL Australia
Pros
The culture in the company is good. Everyone is nice and willing to help each other.
Very flexible. 9-5 working hours expected in general.
The people at TAL are always supportive and ready to give great opportunities to Graduates.
The opportunity to work across multiple business functions.
Great facilities, modern and clean - free coffee, fruit and other snacks provided. Free Gym.
Cons
Getting access to required software and the processes for requesting them can feel daunting as they can take an extremely long time.
Because the culture at TAL is great, often there is less movement here...more competition for internal promotions.
The lack of experience and context around regulatory frameworks, terminology, and technical knowledge is an ongoing challenge and maybe difficult to gauge what is going on without understanding everything.
Our company moved from 2 days in, 3 days remote setup to a 3 "team days" in a mandated system with 2 days remote”
Strict Cyber Regulations/Policies
