Life Insurance

A life insurance policy ensures that, in the event of your passing, your loved ones receive a financial payout to cover funeral expenses, pay off debts, and maintain their standard of living. It’s a way to leave a legacy of protection and stability, even when you're no longer there.

Critical illness cover

Critical illness cover provides a lump-sum payment if you're diagnosed with a covered serious illness. This can be used to cover medical bills, lifestyle changes, or even time off work for treatment and recovery. It helps alleviate some of the financial strain and gives you the peace of mind to focus on getting better

Income protection

Income protection insurance provides a replacement income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. This can be a lifesaver, especially if your illness is long-term. With income protection, you can maintain financial stability, paying for day-to-day expenses and keeping your home without relying on savings.

Life insurance is a contract between you and an insurer that pays out a lump sum (or regular payments) to your beneficiaries if you pass away during the term of the policy. It helps provide financial security for your loved ones after your death.

Anyone with dependents—such as children, a spouse, or elderly parents—should consider life insurance. It’s particularly important if you have debts (e.g., a mortgage) that you want to be paid off, or if you want to ensure your family can maintain their standard of living after you’re gone.

Critical illness cover is a type of insurance that pays out a lump sum or a regular income if you're diagnosed with a serious illness that’s covered under the policy (e.g., cancer, heart attack, stroke). The payout can be used for medical treatment, paying off debts, or other living expenses.

Coverage varies by policy and provider, but common illnesses covered include:
  • Cancer
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Kidney failure
  • Organ transplants
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Severe burns
  • Paralysis
Your insurance adviser will be able to confirm which are covered in your policy. Its important to understand what is and isn't covered.

Income protection insurance provides you with a monthly income (typically a percentage of your regular income) if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. This income helps replace lost wages and ensures financial stability while you're recovering.

Anyone who relies on their income to cover essential living expenses should consider income protection, especially if they don’t have sufficient savings to support them during a prolonged period of illness or injury.
