There are five main types of insurance products that you should be aware of. Understanding what is available is the first step in working out what cover is right for you.
The table below gives a brief description of each insurance product.
| Type of Cover |
What does it do?
|
Life cover
|
Also called "life insurance" or "term life". Pays your beneficiaries a lump sum when you die or become terminally ill. |
Total and permanent disablement (TPD)
|
Pays a lump sum if you become totally and permanently disabled.
|
| Trauma |
Also called "recovery insurance". Pays a lump sum if you are diagnosed with either a serious illness such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, or undergo major surgery such as coronary artery bypass.
Children's trauma cover is also available, which pays a lump sum if your child suffers a serious medical condition.
|
Income Protection
|
Provides an ongoing monthly payment of upto 80% of your pre-tax income if you are temporarily unable to work due to illness or injury. |
Business Expenses
|
Reimburses business owners on a monthly basis to cover fixed business costs (such as rent, staff wages and electricity) if you are temporarily unable to work due to illness or injury. |
When considering personal needs of insurance your existing level of cover may not be adequate. Your requirements can change regularly based on a number of factors such as relationships, family and children, occupation and more - are you confident your cover is sufficient if something was to happen to you?
