1️⃣ Income Protection Insurance – Cover Your Paycheque

What would happen if you couldn’t work for a few months—or longer—due to illness or injury?
Income protection insurance replaces a portion of your income (typically up to 60–70%) if you’re unable to work due to medical reasons. After a set waiting period, it pays out monthly until you’re back at work, retire, or reach the policy’s end.

✅ Why income protection matters:

• Ideal for the self-employed or freelancers with no employer sick pay

• Keeps the bills paid, even if you’re out of action

• Lets you focus on recovery without financial stress

2️⃣ Critical Illness Cover – A Safety Net for Serious Diagnoses

Critical illness insurance provides a tax-free lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a serious medical condition covered by your policy—such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke.

You can use the payout to:

• Pay off your mortgage

• Cover private medical costs

• Modify your home for accessibility

• Support your family while you recover

✅ Why critical illness cover matters:

• Life is unpredictable—this cover gives you options

• Protects your plans, holidays, and family life from financial disruption

• Offers a major boost at a tough time

3️⃣ Life Insurance – Protect Your Loved Ones’ Future

Life insurance pays out a lump sum if you pass away during the policy term. It’s essential if you have dependents, a mortgage, or shared financial commitments.

Choose from:

• Term life insurance – Covers you for a set number of years

• Whole-of-life insurance – Guarantees a payout whenever you pass away

• Level, decreasing, or increasing cover – Matches your mortgage, cost of living, or inflation

✅ Why life insurance matters:

• Gives your loved ones financial stability during a difficult time

• Ensures mortgages, bills, and everyday expenses are covered

• Offers priceless peace of mind
