When personal insurance becomes critical
Most people know they probably need insurance, but they’re not sure what type, how much, or whether what they have through their super is actually enough.
You need to review your personal insurance if you’re in one of these situations:
- You have a family who depends on your income and you’re not sure what would happen to them if you died, became disabled, or couldn’t work for months
- You’ve got insurance through your super but you’ve never actually checked what it covers, what the limits are, or whether it would pay out in a real claim situation
- You’ve had a major life change – got married, had kids, bought a house, started a business – and your insurance hasn’t been updated to match your new responsibilities
- You’re paying for insurance but you’re not sure if you’re over-insured (wasting money) or under-insured (dangerously exposed if something goes wrong)
- You’ve been diagnosed with a health condition or had an injury and you’re worried about whether you can still get insurance or if your existing cover will pay out
Personal insurance isn’t about covering every possible scenario or buying the most expensive policy. It’s about having the right amount of the right type of cover for your actual situation – enough to protect your family and lifestyle, but not so much you’re paying for cover you don’t need.
Types of insurance we help with
We’ll help you understand which types of insurance you need and structure them properly:
How we structure your insurance
Assess your actual needs
We’ll look at your income, debts, family situation, lifestyle, and financial obligations to work out what would happen if you died, became disabled, or couldn’t work. This tells us how much cover you actually need – not what an insurance company wants to sell you.
Review existing cover
We’ll review any insurance you already have through super, previous jobs, or direct policies. Most people have some cover but don’t know what it is, what it covers, or whether it’s enough. We’ll identify what’s working and what’s not.
Recommend the right structure
We’ll recommend what types of insurance you need, how much cover, and whether it should be inside super (tax-deductible premiums) or outside super (better for some situations). You’ll understand exactly why we’re recommending what we’re recommending – no jargon, no overselling.
Implement and maintain
We’ll handle the applications, medical assessments, and paperwork to get your insurance in place. Then we’ll review it regularly – as your income grows, debts change, or family situation evolves, your insurance needs to change with it. And if you ever need to claim, we’ll be there to help.
Case study
A self-employed tradie had a heart attack at 48. He survived, but couldn’t work for six months while recovering.
His trauma insurance paid out $150,000 immediately after diagnosis—before he’d missed a single day of work. That money covered medical costs, kept the mortgage paid, supported his family, and gave him time to recover without financial stress.
Without it, they would have burned through savings, maxed out credit cards, and possibly lost the house.
