Most Australians will protect their home, car or business, but neglect their most valuable assets-themselves and their family. You don't want to think about death in the prime of life but it's important to decide what will happen to your assets when you die. Or, what would happen if you became ill or injured and your income stopped tomorrow.
Whether you're single or partnered, with or without children, put your plans in place now, so you can have some certainty for the years ahead.
One of the questions we are most commonly asked in relation to personal risk insurance is, "Why do I need it?" Well, we don't hesitate to insure our car, our homes, our contents, so why hesitate insuring your biggest asset-your ability to generate your income.
Having personal risk insurance can provide financial protection for you and your family's personal needs. It can be structured to provide for many things including protection against the loss of income, repayment of debts upon death or disability, and as we mentioned above, protection against the loss of income.
