What is income protection insurance?

Your ability to earn an income is likely to be one of your most valuable assets in life. How long would you be able to sustain your lifestyle and meet your financial commitments without it?

Income protection insurance pays a monthly benefit of up to 75% of your regular income if you’re unable to work due to injury or sickness.

Having a regular income while you are unable to work, can help you:
• cover your daily living expenses, and
• help with medical expenses and rehabilitation costs.

You may also be provided additional support services to help you return to work or find a new job, as part of your cover.
