Insurance Protection
Types of Protection Available:
Life Insurance
Life Insurance offers financial protection in the event of death and the cost of insurance is dependent on the type of insurance cover selected. A balance must be reached between affordability and the best policy conditions available. Cover required is determined by several factors, your assets and liabilities and the income needed to maintain your family’s current standard of living.
Total and Permanent Disability
TPD is designed to provide a lump sum in the event of an illness or injury that totally and permanently incapacitates you, preventing you from working. TPD is used to repay debts, cover capital gains tax liabilities and to cover dependents from the loss of an income provider.
Income protection
Income protection insurance pays you an income if you’re unable to work in the event of illness or injury. Income protection insurance can usually pay up to 75% of your income for a certain period.
Income protection insurance provides income and can also provide additional features that give added protection to help you return to work in the event of a claim. Income protection insurance is tax deductible and the income payments received under the policy are assessable for tax purposes.
