Income Protection Insurance

Did you know 2 in 5 males and 1 in 4 females will suffer a critical illness between the ages of 30 and 64.

What is Income Protection Insurance Cover?

Income Protection provides up to 75 per cent of your income if you are sick or injured and are permanently or temporarily unable to work.

What would happen if you had to stop work due to sickness or injury? How would you pay for bills if your income stopped? Being ill or injured is difficult enough, without the financial pressure of not being able to earn an income. With Income Protection you can protect your income and financial security and maintain you and your family’s lifestyle.

Income Protection Cover protects your family’s financial security if you are sick or injured and are permanently or temporarily unable to work.

You should consider Income Protection Cover if you:

  • Have a family or dependants
  • Have a mortgage or other debt
  • Would need to live on if you couldn’t work again
  • Don’t have savings to cover unexpected expenses, for example: medical bills
  • Have a business or business partners, are self-employed, or are a company director or key employee

 

A real-life story of the benefits of Insurance Protection
After the diagnosis of serious a medical condition, one of our long-term clients received an insurance benefit payment which was then used to help fund the cost of specialist medical treatment. The insurance benefit was designed to support themselves and their family through a challenging period if things turned bad. Sadly, after a lengthy medical battle, our client passed away leaving behind their partner and two children. Without adequate insurance protection, their family assets could have been lost leaving their partner to start again from scratch. Thankfully, our client acted on advice to protect their income, their health, and their family assets while they were in a place of good health. Their purpose was to protect themselves with appropriate insurance cover and to ensure that their family would be provided for in the event of sickness, accident or premature death. They were ultimately successful in what they had set out to achieve and why it makes their story worth telling.
