- From April 2020 Life Insurance companies can no longer offer new Agreed Value Income Protection policies. This is just one of many new changes being imposed by the government regulator APRA.

**Implications for existing Sapience clients:**

- Existing Sapience clients with pre-existing Agreed Value Income Protection insurance policies in force, will not be affected in any way.
