Life Insurance

Life insurance will help maintain financial stability, should any unforeseen circumstances occur. If you were to die or be diagnosed with a terminal illness, the effects on your family could be catastrophic. Life insurance can help to alleviate some of the burden and safeguard your loved ones.

Medical Insurance

With a myriad of medical insurance options out there, it is important to be advised on what is right for your specific needs. Our trusted advisors are highly experienced in this field and will help you to understand and organise medical insurance for your specific circumstances.

Trauma Cover

Including trauma cover as part of your risk plan can provide a lump sum payment in the event of serious injury or critical illness. The funds allow peace of mind in such circumstances, meaning you could make a full recovery and you and your loved ones won’t have to stress about finances during a difficult time.

Total Disability Cover

Unfortunately, there is always a risk of permanent disability, injuries or illnesses that are not part of our overall plan in life. For this reason, your risk plan should include total disability insurance (TPD) for these possibilities.

Income &Mortgage Protection

In partnership with disability insurance, what would happen to you and your family if you unexpectedly lost your income due to illness or injury? Income protection or mortgage protection insurance could help to reduce the burden financially, should the unexpected happen.

There are a few contributing factors to increases in insurance premiums. The main one is due to the fact that as we age, the risk of suffering a critical illness, being unable to work for lengthy periods, or becoming permanently disabled increases. Another factor is the increased risk of mortality (the chance of dying or being diagnosed with a terminal illness). The third major contributor is inflation. As most insurance benefits are linked to the CPI (Consumer Price Index), the benefit amount increases each year according to the rate of inflation. Depending on which provider and policy we recommend for you, we will explain what you might expect to pay in premium increases.
