Gallipoli Funeral Fund is a Funeral Expense Facility. You contribute a modest annual premium, and we pay an agreed cash benefit to your nominated loved one when you pass away. It is not life insurance, just a clear, fixed amount toward a dignified Islamic farewell.
One fixed cash benefit, paid to your nominated beneficiary upon your death. The straightforward choice for an individual.
Two benefits for two people (often a couple) under one membership. A benefit is paid on each death, and the annual premium halves after the first.
Funeral costs vary across Australia. Choose the tier that suits your region, from rural areas to high-cost capital cities.
Every tier is a fixed amount today, reviewed by the Board to keep pace as funeral costs rise. See how it keeps pace
Many funeral plans pay a benefit frozen at the day you signed up, so as prices climb your family is left to find the difference. Gallipoli is different: the Board reviews your benefit regularly and can lift it over time, so your cover keeps pace - there to meet tomorrow's cost, not just today's.
Figures from public sources (Gathered Here; Bare, 2025). Benefit increases are made by the Board through regular reviews, not an automatic formula, so a gap is still possible between reviews. Please read the Product Disclosure Statement.
Decide on a Single or Double Facility and the benefit tier that fits your region.
Complete a short application. Your entry fee (if any) and premium are based on your age at entry.
Once active, your nominated beneficiary is registered for the fixed cash benefit.
When the time comes, your family contacts us and the benefit is normally paid within 48 hours of receiving the required documents.
A fixed benefit your family can count on, removing the financial stress at a painful time.
Rooted in the Islamic principle that we care for one another. Members support members.
Premiums from $295 a year, payable monthly. No hidden costs and no surprises.
Funds are held under Shariah-compliant management with Hejaz Financial Services, and any returns support the fund.
Backed by the Gallipoli Turkish Cultural Foundation and a network of 20+ mosque partners.
A not-for-profit fund. Every contribution goes toward the fund's purpose, never to shareholders.
Gallipoli Funeral Fund grew from a simple need: that no family should face financial hardship while grieving, and that every Muslim deserves a dignified farewell in keeping with their faith.
We serve families from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds across Australia, including migrants, refugees and those who have made this country home. As a community-based fund, our role is to ease one of life's hardest moments through the strength of community.
Learn about our story
Gallipoli Funeral Fund pays a cash benefit only and does not arrange funeral services. We review your benefit and lift it over time to keep pace with rising funeral costs, but increases are decided by the Board rather than an automatic formula. Actual funeral costs vary by location and provider, so between reviews a funeral could still cost more than your benefit, and you and your family are responsible for any shortfall. Always read the Product Disclosure Statement before applying.
No. It is a Funeral Expense Facility, a fixed cash benefit paid on death toward funeral costs. It is not traditional life insurance.
Australian citizens and permanent residents who want a predictable contribution toward funeral costs and are aligned with Islamic funeral principles. Entry fees and premiums depend on your age at entry and the tier you choose.
The fixed benefit is normally paid to your nominated beneficiary within 48 hours of us receiving the required documentation, provided the membership is in good standing and any outstanding amounts are settled.
You have a 30-day cooling-off period during which all amounts paid are fully refunded. After that, entry and gap fees are refundable but annual premiums are forfeited. Full details are in the PDS.
