Life Insurance

The most common type of cover is Term Life which provides a lump sum benefit to the policy owner on death of the life insured. This cover financially protects businesses and/or families from the misfortune of death.

This lump sum can help with areas such as repayment of debts, covering future needs such as the cost of children’s education or long term care, providing funds for investment to generate an income.

Total and Permanent Disability Insurance

Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance will provide a lump sum payment should the person insured suffer an illness or injury which totally and permanently prevents them from working again.

Income Protection Insurance

Income protection (or salary continuance) insurance is designed to provide a regular income in the event that you are unable to work due to sickness or injury. This is of particular importance to those who have geared investments in which the loan repayments are reliant on your income. Generally, income protection insurance provides a regular income during a period of disablement up to a pre-determined and agreed benefit period. The benefit amount payable is up to 75% of your income (net of business expenses but before tax).

Critical Illness (Trauma) Insurance

Critical Illness Cover or Trauma Insurance provides a lump sum benefit on diagnosis of a defined specified event. Critical Illness Cover is designed to help people financially recover from a trauma or crisis, such as a heart attack, stroke, cancer or other life threatening condition.
