Im not aware of any payments on our behalf. I recently looked into it as it might have conflicted with my Australian Loss of income insurance 75% of salary ratio.
What I did find is that it was not considered as income but rather as an insurance policy payout. I was also told that if I claimed a tax deduction for the premium paid then the payout would be taxed in Australia but if you did not claim the premium then it will be tax free.
I think that you will have to see a tax specialist in your home country to figure that one out.
