Choose a Level of Cover to Suit Your Needs
What level of cover is appropriate for me? This is the question most often asked to us about Life Insurance. The answer can vary significantly as everybody’s situation is different. An initial ‘rule of thumb’ is to firstly make sure there is enough to adequately clear all your debts. Then work on how long any additional lump sum will last and what it may be required for. We can also help you take into account your spouse’s lifestyle, children’s’ education, ongoing future medical costs and so on.
The premium can typically be tax deductible but it is recommended that you speak to a tax accountant prior to taking on any tax concessions as there can be significant tax issues if handled incorrectly.
We Can Help You Plan For the Future
Life Insurance can also be useful for:
- Securing Business Debt: To protect a business partner from having to service your portion of a business debt they may struggle to repay alone.
- Estate Planning: This cover can be used in family estate planning for several reasons such as covering the cost of your funeral or to meet mortgage repayments.
None of us like to think about our immortality but addressing it and planning for the future can help to ensure your family are looked after when you’re gone. By contacting us about Life Insurance, we’ll help you choose the appropriate cover and how to structure the policy.
How Does Life Insurance Work in Australia?
When someone passes away in Australia, their insurance provider pays out a lump sum to the person’s nominated beneficiaries. Beneficiaries are usually immediate family members, and the number of beneficiaries nominated may be limited by the person’s particular insurance provider. This lump sum can be used by beneficiaries to help pay for mortgage payments, to cover funeral costs, or to count as a cash gift.
Some providers also pay out a lump sum if a person has been diagnosed as terminally ill, which allows them to cover their medical expenses and arrange their finances.
What Does Life Insurance Cover?
Life insurance gives you the peace of mind your family or loved ones will be provided for and supported in the event of your death. Insurance policies offer coverage for:
- Funeral expenses
- Debt management
- Income replacement
- Mortgage payments
- School fees
- Bills
- Groceries
- Living expenses
- Child support
Why is Life Insurance a Good Investment?
Life insurance can prove to be a great investment. When you know your family will be taken care of in the event of your untimely death or diagnosis of a serious illness, you’ll live with greater reassurance and peace of mind. This is especially the case if you have debts that will need to be covered in the event you pass away or are unable to work due to serious illness or injury.
In Australia, life insurance benefits are generally paid out tax-free, so your beneficiaries will receive the full support of your insurance cover. And if you sign up for life insurance while you’re young, you’ll be able to take advantage of attractive lower premiums.
What Are the Different Life Insurance Types?
Life insurance coverage includes a range of policy options.
- Life Cover: Life cover pays out a lump sum of money to your beneficiaries when you die. You might consider life cover if you have a partner or dependents, as it can help cover debts and living expenses.
- Total & Permanent Disability Cover: This option covers rehabilitation and living costs in the event that you are totally and permanently disabled. The definition of 'total and permanent disability' varies among insurers, and coverage might be given if you’re unable to maintain your previous job or unable to work at all. TPD insurance comes in handy if you have significant expenses you would still need to cover if you weren’t working, such as living costs, debts, medical and rehabilitation expenses, and retirement savings.
- Trauma Cover: Trauma cover assists with your financial obligations if you've been diagnosed with a serious illness or life-limiting disease. Cover can vary across insurers, and can be used to assist with the costs of medical and living expenses, rehabilitation, housing changes and debt repayments. If you don’t have a substantial income or other insurance policies in place, and if you don’t have reliable financial support, trauma cover can help.
- Income Protection Cover: Income protection cover offers assistance if you can no longer work due to partial or total disability, and is calculated based on your annual earnings in the year prior to your injury or illness. If you’re self-employed or a small business owner, if you have dependents or debts, or if there are payments you’d need to continue making even if you can’t work, income protection cover is a good option.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Life Insurance?
Life Insurance provides a lump-sum payment to beneficiaries upon the policyholder’s passing, offering financial support to help manage expenses during a difficult time. This payment can be used to cover costs such as funeral expenses, outstanding debts, and ongoing living expenses for dependents. Life Insurance is designed to offer peace of mind by helping loved ones maintain financial stability after a loss. It’s an important safeguard for families who depend on a primary earner or need to secure their financial future in the event of unexpected circumstances.
Who should consider Life Insurance?
Life Insurance is beneficial for individuals who have dependents, significant debts, or financial obligations. Parents, homeowners, and primary earners often consider Life Insurance to help provide support for their families in the event of their passing. It’s also a practical option for those who want to cover the costs of a mortgage, children’s education, or other ongoing expenses. If your loved ones would face financial challenges without your income or contributions, Life Insurance offers a way to help protect their future and maintain their standard of living.
What does Life Insurance typically cover?
Life Insurance typically provides a lump-sum payment that beneficiaries can use for a variety of needs, such as paying off debts, covering funeral costs, or managing daily expenses. Some policies may include additional features, such as coverage for terminal illness, allowing policyholders to access funds during their lifetime if diagnosed. The payment can also be used for long-term financial planning, like funding education or maintaining a family’s lifestyle. Policies are customisable, enabling individuals to choose coverage amounts and options that align with their financial responsibilities and goals, offering flexibility to meet a range of needs.
How much cover can I take out?
Whilst there is an ideal amount you may wish to cover yourself for, ultimately your insurer will determine a minimum and a maximum cover amount. This will be based on your age, occupation, income and other contributing factors.
Can I claim against my Life Insurance if diagnosed with a terminal illness?
The majority of Life Insurance policies will include cover in the instance you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness. If your life expectancy is short (1-2 years), you may be eligible to receive part of full payment of your insured amount. Medical reports are generally required to back-up your claim.
Is there a limit on how old you can be when applying for Life Insurance?
Typically, yes. You’ll usually have no problem finding an insurer until you turn 60 years old. Between 60-75 options may become more limited, and after that it can be difficult to find Life Insurance as you’ll be past the ‘maximum entry age’ for most policies. If you’re a little on the older side, speak with our brokers and we’ll help you find what options are available to you.
Can couples get joint life insurance?
Yes. As a couple you’ll be looking for a joint policy (also referred to as a ‘multi-life’ policy). These policies will usually allow you to nominate the cover amount by person.
