The importance of Life insurance
Choosing Life insurance is an important decision, often made when we experience a major life event, like taking on a mortgage or having children.
To decide whether you need Life insurance, simply ask yourself how the people who are dependent on you would survive financially if you were to pass away or become seriously ill or injured. You should consider how household bills would be paid, and how any debts would need to be managed or even paid out.
What we believe
We believe Australians deserve better.
We believe that for many of us, Life insurance is a need not a want. For too long you’ve had to pay too much for quality Life insurance to protect yourself and your family. Not anymore.
We believe you should feel confident at claim time.
We believe Life insurance should be done right from the start, and you should know and understand what you are covered for. We ask a few more questions up-front, so you have greater certainty at claim time.
We believe in keeping you happy.
We don’t pay high upfront commissions to advisers, and limit our marketing costs so we can provide better personal service, secure cover and lower premiums. It’s not rhetoric. We really do put you first.
We believe in a good night’s sleep.
What we do isn’t rocket science and our products have no hidden clauses or tricks. We provide great value, comprehensive Life and Income Protection insurance so you can sleep more comfortably at night.

Not sure what to do?
What Is your lifestage?
Singles
Secure your financial independence
When you’re young and single, chances are you’re not overly concerned about anything other than living in the moment. You may be considering moving out of home, have just purchased your first property, or you may be travelling while you have the opportunity to do so. Like many young singles, you might struggle to survive without your regular income for a few weeks if you were unable to work. One of the key insurance policies that can help provide a financial safety net for singles is Income Protection insurance. This type of insurance is designed to cover your wages so you can maintain your lifestyle and pay your bills until you’re back on the job.
Couples
Plan your future with peace of mind protection
Like many young couples, you may be focused on putting yourself in the best possible financial position and enjoying life before making a decision on starting a family. Your life priorities are likely to be completely different from those faced by a family – but no less important. Income Protection insurance and Trauma insurance can help provide a financial safety net if you are unable to work for a time due to an injury or illness, and would struggle to meet your financial commitments and pay regular bills. It is also important that you consider obtaining Life insurance, even if you don’t think it is necessary while you are young and healthy.
Young families
Cover for the ones you love most
Parenting young children is one of the most rewarding – and exhausting! – things that you can do in life. Nothing quite beats that surge of love you feel and how much you are needed, unconditionally. So it is essential that you build the right foundation to financially protect your growing family.
If you have been working hard to prepare for your young family’s future then it is essential that you consider obtaining Life insurance. Another important consideration is obtaining Income Protection if you suddenly can’t work anymore. An unplanned period of time with a reduced income or no income due to illness or injury can jeopardise your ability to keep your home, leave your children in the same schools, or otherwise maintain your financial obligations.
Mature families
Peace of mind protection for when you need it most
You’ve had a wonderful time watching your children grow from tiny infants into adults and hopefully now you will move into a wonderful new stage of friendship and companionship with them. One downside of this stage may come if your children remain financially dependent on you well into their 20s or even into their 30s.
If you are solely responsible for paying the mortgage and you are no longer around, your entire family could suffer due to the absence of your income. You may want to consider Life insurance, and additional policies such as Trauma insurance, which covers unexpected medical conditions or illnesses, to help avoid financial disaster.
Empty nesters
Reclaim your financial independence
The moment you have probably dreaded and looked forward to in equal measure has finally arrived: your children have moved out of home and the house is quiet!
Everybody’s version of the empty nest looks different depending on their individual lifestyle and circumstances – but one constant is that, in one way or another, your insurance needs will be different to those you had 20 or even ten years ago. If you don’t already have Life insurance – now is the time to get it. You might also want to consider Total & Permanent Disability insurance.
Seniors
Quality of life starts now
You’ve had to make many life decisions over the years – including what to study, whether to buy a house, whether to have children, and how to progress your career.
If you’re a senior, retirement planning is likely going to be a key concern. An important part of the decision to plan for your post-employment future includes arranging for Life insurance to protect your family in the event that you or your spouse suddenly pass away. It’s important you obtain an insurance policy which will provide sufficiently for your family members in the event of your death, including paying for unpaid bills and funeral costs.
