What if?

Many people insure their home, their personal possessions and their car, but fail to insure their most important asset; their ability to produce an income and safeguard future interests.

It’s probably not something you like to think about, but there’s some tough questions you need to ask yourself;

• If you had an accident or became seriously ill and were unable to work, would you have enough savings or insurance to deal with the financial consequences?
• If you suffered a major illness and needed extensive medical treatment, time off work or modifications to your home, could you afford these expenses?
• If you died, would your family or other dependents cope financially?

Income Protection

• Provides an income when you're unable to work due to sickness, injury or accident
• Arguably one of the most important types of insurance
• Income protection can pay up to 75% of your salary for a pre-determined benefit period
• Premiums are generally tax-deductible, depending on your individual circumstances

Life Insurance

• Provides a lump sum payment if you die or become terminally ill
• Paid to your beneficiaries or estate
• Can be used to pay off debts and provide for your dependents
• Premiums can be paid through Superannuation to minimise out of pocket expenses

Trauma Insurance

• Provides a lump sum if you survive for a specified waiting period after some serious medical conditions (such as heart attack, cancer or stroke)
• Can cover 40+ medical conditions depending on the product chosen
• Can be used to cover medical and related expenses and top-up lost income
• Helps relieve financial worries so you can focus on getting better

Total & Permanent Disability Insurance

• Provides a lump sum if a sickness or injury leaves you totally and permanently disabled and unable to work
• Not related to any specific illnesses or injury
• Generally used to cover medical costs and lifestyle changes
• Ensure financial peace-of-mind in the face of no future income
