Life Insurance
Life insurance provides financial protection for your loved ones when you’re no longer there to provide for them. It ensures that your family can maintain their lifestyle, pay off debts, cover funeral expenses, and secure their future even after you’re gone. Whether you’re a young professional just starting out, a parent with dependents, or approaching retirement, life insurance offers peace of mind knowing that those who matter most to you will be financially protected.
Term Life Insurance
Provides life insurance coverage for a specific period, typically 10, 20, or 30 years. Term life insurance offers high coverage amounts at affordable premiums, making it ideal for young families or those with temporary financial obligations like mortgages or children’s education costs. If you pass away during the term period, your beneficiaries receive the full death benefit. This type of policy is straightforward, cost-effective, and perfect for covering specific financial responsibilities that will decrease over time.
Whole Life Insurance
Combines life insurance protection with a savings component that builds cash value over time. Whole life insurance provides lifelong coverage with level premiums that never increase, making it easier to budget for the long term. The policy accumulates cash value that you can borrow against or withdraw during your lifetime for emergencies, education costs, or retirement supplementation. This permanent life insurance solution offers both death benefit protection and a forced savings element.
Income Protection
Replaces a portion of your income if you become unable to work due to illness or injury. Income protection insurance typically covers 70-85% of your pre-disability income, ensuring your family can continue meeting monthly expenses, mortgage payments, and living costs even when your earning capacity is compromised. This coverage can be short-term or long-term, with benefits continuing until you can return to work, reach retirement age, or for a specified period.
Total and Permanent Disability (TPD)
Provides a lump sum payment if you suffer a total and permanent disability that prevents you from ever working again. TPD insurance helps cover the significant costs associated with permanent disability, including home modifications, medical equipment, ongoing care expenses, and debt elimination. This coverage ensures that a catastrophic disability doesn’t destroy your family’s financial security and allows you to focus on adaptation and quality of life rather than financial survival.
Trauma Insurance
Pays a lump sum benefit upon diagnosis of a specified serious illness or medical condition, such as heart attack, stroke, cancer, or major organ transplant. Trauma insurance, also known as critical illness insurance, provides immediate financial support when you need it most, covering treatment costs, rehabilitation, lifestyle changes, and allowing time off work for recovery. This coverage bridges the gap between health insurance and life insurance, providing support when you survive a serious medical event.
Funeral Insurance
Covers funeral and burial expenses, ensuring your family isn’t burdened with these costs during their time of grief. Funeral insurance typically provides a modest benefit amount specifically designed to cover funeral director fees, burial or cremation costs, memorial services, and related expenses. This coverage removes the financial stress from your loved ones during an already difficult time, allowing them to focus on grieving and celebrating your life rather than worrying about expenses.
Business Life Insurance
Protects business interests and partnerships in the event of a key person’s death. Business life insurance can fund buy-sell agreements, cover outstanding business loans, compensate for lost revenue from key employees, or provide funds for business succession planning. This specialised coverage ensures business continuity and protects business partners, employees, and stakeholders from the financial impact of losing crucial team members.
Family Income Benefit
Provides regular monthly payments to your family rather than a lump sum, helping them maintain their standard of living over time. Family income benefit pays a predetermined monthly amount for a specified period, such as until your youngest child reaches adulthood or your spouse reaches retirement age. This structure helps ensure long-term financial stability and can be more manageable for beneficiaries who might struggle with managing a large lump sum payment.

What is life insurance, and how much does life insurance cost?
Life insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company where you pay regular premiums in exchange for a guaranteed payment to your beneficiaries when you pass away. This financial protection ensures your loved ones can maintain their lifestyle, pay off debts, and secure their future without your income. Life insurance costs vary significantly based on several factors including your age, health, lifestyle, coverage amount, and policy type. Term life insurance is typically the most affordable option, with healthy individuals in their 30s potentially paying $30-80 per month for $500,000 in coverage. Whole life insurance costs more due to its permanent nature and cash value component, often 5-10 times more than term insurance. Factors that influence premiums include smoking status, medical history, occupation, hobbies, and family health history.
What's the difference between life insurance through my employer and personal life insurance?
Employer-provided life insurance, often called group life insurance, typically offers basic coverage (usually 1-2 times your salary) at low or no cost, but coverage is limited and ends when you leave the company. Personal life insurance offers higher coverage amounts, remains with you regardless of employment changes, often provides better benefits, and can be tailored to your specific needs. While employer coverage is valuable, it’s usually insufficient as your sole life insurance protection and should be supplemented with personal coverage.
Can I get life insurance if I have health problems or a dangerous job?
Yes, though it may affect your premiums or coverage options. Life insurance companies assess risk through medical examinations, health questionnaires, and lifestyle evaluations. Pre-existing health conditions, dangerous occupations, or high-risk hobbies may result in higher premiums, coverage exclusions, or specialised underwriting. However, many conditions are insurable, and companies offer various policy types to accommodate different risk profiles. Working with an experienced insurance advisor can help you find appropriate coverage even with health or occupational challenges.
When should I review my life insurance coverage?
Life insurance needs change as your life circumstances evolve, so regular reviews are essential. Major life events that should trigger a review include marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of children, home purchase, significant income changes, starting a business, children becoming financially independent, or approaching retirement. Additionally, conduct a comprehensive review every 3-5 years to ensure your coverage remains adequate and cost-effective. Changes in health, financial situation, or family structure may require adjustments to your coverage amount or type.
