PILLAR 1 · HEALTHCARE
Everyday healthcare support.
Arise helps qualifying members access practical healthcare support through its network of healthcare providers, with a focus on everyday primary healthcare and early attention to health needs.
GP Consultations
Access to basic GP consultations through participating Arise network doctors, subject to the applicable benefit schedule.
Basic Dentistry
Qualifying basic dental support is included in accordance with the applicable waiting period, network arrangements and benefit rules.
Health & Prevention
Health education, wellness awareness and preventative support help members take a more proactive approach to wellbeing.
Healthcare benefits are accessed through approved Arise network
healthcare providers and are subject to eligibility, waiting periods
and the applicable benefit schedule. Arise is a community-based
membership collective and is not presented as a medical scheme.
PILLAR 2 · WELLNESS
Helping members live well.
Arise is not only about support when something goes wrong. The Wellness pillar encourages members and families to build healthier everyday habits and participate in activities that support long-term wellbeing.
Virtual Fitness Platform
Members can access guided virtual exercise opportunities designed to make movement and physical activity more accessible.
Wellness Education
Practical information and awareness initiatives encourage healthier choices and greater understanding of preventative wellbeing.
Community Wellness
Arise may facilitate wellness initiatives and activities that encourage participation, connection and healthier communities.
PILLAR 3 · BURIAL SUPPORT
Practical support when a family is grieving.
The Burial Support pillar is designed to ease some of the immediate practical and financial pressure that can follow the death of a qualifying member. It combines a Burial Grocery Benefit with a Burial Cash Benefit once the cash benefit has qualified.
Burial Grocery Benefit
A practical grocery package helps the family cater for the funeral and the gathering of family and community. Where permitted by the applicable benefit schedule, the qualifying family may choose an approved cash alternative instead of receiving the grocery package.
Burial Cash Benefit
Once the 12-month qualifying period has been completed, the Burial Cash Benefit becomes payable together with the Burial Grocery Benefit, subject to the benefit rules.
R5,000
after 12 months
R10,000
from 24 months
Optional Additional Meat Benefit
Members may add the optional meat benefit for an additional R80 per month. The current benefit options are R2,000 for chicken mixed portions and R6,000 for beef stew, subject to the applicable benefit rules.

Important distinction:
after the Burial Cash Benefit qualifies, the normal structure is
the applicable cash benefit plus the grocery benefit. The grocery
cash-alternative is a separate choice where the family elects cash
instead of the physical grocery package. Waiting periods,
eligibility and benefit rules apply.
Pillar 4 · Education Legacy Benefit
Because losing a parent shouldn’t mean losing a future.
The Education Legacy Benefit is activated following the death of a qualifying member and is designed to help protect the education of qualifying dependant children when a family needs support most.
Protecting education. Preserving possibility.
Support is subject to the applicable waiting period,
eligibility rules, due diligence and approved benefit schedule.
School-Age Support
Support for qualifying children generally aged 6–18, from primary school through high school.
School Fees
Up to R20,000 per year toward qualifying fees at fee-paying public schools, paid directly to the school.

Important:
A 12-month waiting period applies to the Education Legacy Benefit.
Eligibility remains subject to the Collective’s rules, the member
being in good standing, and due diligence regarding the child’s
circumstances and surviving parent or guardian.
