ASK YOURSELF THIS – HOW LONG COULD YOU SURVIVE IF YOUR WAGE INCOME STOPPED TOMORROW?
Struggle to feed the family
Mortgagee Sale
Car Repossessed
Holidays Cancelled
How do you insure your future income? You do it by investing in your future by putting in place a quality income protection insurance policy (sometimes called salary continuance). Quality is the key term here.
There are many so called income protection policies that some of you may have via superannuation and some employer schemes however in many cases these are of inferior quality to what most of you need.
Issues like:
- own vs any occupation definition
- waiting periods before claim is payable (how long off work)
- how long can you be on claim (should be to age 65)
- definitions of disability
- will it pay for partial reduction in income
Remember it isn’t just one years income you could miss out on! It could be your income for the rest of your normal working life. If you haven’t done so already calculate what you could miss out on by using our future income calculator.
As an employee you may be covered by Workcover insurance but this drops out after 6 months on claim and does not cover illness or injury outside work hours.
