Features

Most of us know someone who has suffered a life-changing trauma. While you may be covered for the loss of income if you’ve purchased income insurance, what about the extra costs you may face for your treatment, rehabilitation and recovery?

Trauma cover provides you with a lump sum payment if you're diagnosed with a specified medical condition, serious injury or undergo a medical procedure*. Trauma cover usually helps with severe heart attacks, major organ transplants, cancers or strokes, just to name a few.

Trauma insurance can help you make adjustments to your lifestyle that you may want or need to make after suffering a trauma event, such as:

  • Paying for expensive recovery costs including rehabilitation
  • Paying for lifestyle changes, such as refitting your home
  • Repaying some of your mortgage
  • Easing the financial burden on your partner so they can reduce their working hours
  • Paying for a carer.

* As outlined in your product disclosure statement, policy document or plan rules

Here’s what you get

A lump sum payment to help with your medical costs and living expenses, if you were to suffer a specific serious illness or injury

A flexible insurance product you can tailor to suit your individual needs

Peace of mind and financial security for you and your loved ones.

Example: John's recovery plan

As the manager of a large electronics retail store in Newcastle, John currently earns $100,000.

John has mortgage repayments of approximately $12,000 per year, other personal loan repayments of $5,000 per year, and investment property loan repayments of $10,000 per year.

John discusses his overall financial protection needs with a financial adviser, who recommends $200,000 in trauma insurance, in addition to any life and TPD insurance.

This amount would allow John to cover his debt payments for two years, provide a salary for a year and also contribute towards medical costs not covered by Medicare or his private health insurance such as rehabilitation costs or changes to his lifestyle.
