What's Included in the Legal Pocket + plan
If a member is arrested after hours within a metropolitan area, we’ll get a lawyer to you. We can also reimburse you for legal fees on condition you have a justified and valid defence and provided all the conditions of the policy have been met.
If you are in an emergency or traumatic event such as an accident or an incident that results in a death, you will have access to our after-hours emergency legal advisor. This service is for emergency situations only, and normal day-to-day requirements for legal advice (for example labour or civil matters) will be serviced during office hours only.
We provide unlimited debt and budgeting advice as well as free access to your annual credit report. We will facilitate debt negotiations, credit report disputes, ID theft and Debt Review.
