Personal insurance plans you can count on
We find that many of your new clients don’t fully understand their personal insurances. For instance, you may not be aware of:
- What you are covered for
- How much cover you have
- Whether this cover is sufficient
- The terms and conditions that are applied
What’s more, your insurance needs will likely change over time and therefore should be reviewed on a regular basis.
Our insurance advisors specialise in analysing your needs by assessing your current coverage, discussing the various options and structures available to you and tailoring the right solution at the lowest possible price.
Our complimentary initial strategy session will help you to understand the many opportunities and pitfalls that exist and more importantly, how we can guide you to a place that suits your personal insurance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Life insurance is a lump sum payment to your family or other chosen beneficiaries in the event of your death or diagnosis of a terminal illness. The purpose of life insurance is to provide loved ones with financial security if you were to pass away.
The term Life insurance can sometimes be used as a collective to describe the multiple different types of cover for you to choose from including:
- Term life insurance
- Total and Permanent Disability cover
- Trauma insurance
Child Insurance - Income Protection insurance
Advised life insurance is life insurance that you obtain through the use of a specialised financial adviser, whereas direct life insurance is very much ‘off the shelf’.
Some people prefer advised life insurance because it removes a lot of the confusion when it comes to choosing an appropriate policy and understanding the coverage’s terms and conditions. Getting professional advice helps narrow your options to find a policy that properly suits your specific requirements and desires. It will also eliminate the risk of being over/underinsured or paying more than you should in premiums.
While direct life insurance requires less upfront medical information and applications can be completed in minutes, it is definitely not without its faults. The traps here are under-insurance risk, inappropriate policies, or unexpected terms and conditions resulting in an avoidable decline in a claim.
Under insurance was highlighted back in 2013 when research from life insurance provider TAL found only 30%-37% of Australians aged 18-69 held life insurance. Only 11-18% held disability cover, income protection insurance, or critical illness and trauma cover.
The cost of your life insurance policy will vary depending on a range of factors, including:
- Your current health and medical history
- Your occupation
- Your hobbies
- Whether you’re a smoker or non-smoker
- Your gender and age
- Your sum insured
The best strategy is to speak with a trusted insurance advisor who can tailor the right package for you that works with your individual circumstances.
In general, trauma insurance is not taxable. Typically, you will not need to pay tax on trauma insurance payouts unless the policy is held for business purposes subject to Capital Gains Tax. Therefore, trauma insurance premiums are not usually tax deductible.
