  • Why buy life insurance?

    Life insurance is important for every person to consider as it can provide financial security and peace of mind to your loved ones after you're gone.

    In the event of the policyholder's death, life insurance can provide beneficiaries with a lump sum or regular payouts to help cover expenses like mortgages, debts, education, and daily living costs.

    Life Insurance is, for many, a responsible way to protect and provide for the future well-being of those you care about. Speak to an insurance broker today about how life insurance could work for your situation.

    Trauma Insurance

    Updated: 1 year ago

    Trauma Insurance and Total and Permanent Disability Insurance, or TPD, can be easily confused but they are different types of insurance covering you for different events.

    The key is the word "permanent" in TPD. TPD insurance covers you for a situation where you are impacted by an illness or injury that is permanent, you won't recover. This will have an ongoing impact on your ability to work or even look after yourself physically. In this case, TPD insurance may be applicable to your situation.

    Trauma Insurance, on the other hand, is generally applicable to a situation where you will be able to make a significant recovery following an illness or injury. Trauma insurance is designed to help with the financial burden of this recovery and make the path back to work easier.
