Personal Protection Insurance

Australia has long been considered the lucky country. With large open spaces, lots of opportunity and strong government social programs for health and social security compared to other countries – no wonder you chose Australia to be your new home!

However, one thing you have left behind is likely to be the support of family and friends. And if something were to happen to you or your partner while living in Australia, imagine the devastating effect this would have on your immediate family, not only emotionally, but financially.

What if you became sick or injured and couldn’t work? Depending on your type of employment, you may only receive up to 10 days’ paid sick leave. If you need any more time off, it’s likely it will be unpaid leave, meaning your family will be left without an income while you recover.

And what if something worse were to happen? What if you or your partner were to die unexpectedly? There are social security payments for single parents and pensioners (depending on your income) but, unfortunately, these payments are usually at minimum wage if available, which could seriously affect your family’s financial future.

That’s why personal protection insurance is so important. Just because you have insurance doesn’t mean something bad will happen. In fact it’s the opposite. It will give you and your family peace of mind knowing that if anything were to happen they would be financially protected.

Leading personal protection insurance providers like InsuranceLine, Australia’s number 1 provider of direct life insurance, can offer affordable flexible plans covering both you and your family.

Australia is definitely the lucky country but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t prepare for the unexpected. Have peace of mind and make sure your loved ones are protected financially. Take out personal protection insurance today.
