What’s the difference between Life Insurance & Income Protection?

How much Life Insurance cover do I need?
Working out how much Life Insurance cover you’ll need really varies across each person. One approach is to think about how much you can realistically afford to pay for cover each month, taking into consideration your existing expenses. An alternate approach may be to consider your current debts and future expenses like your mortgage or rent, living expenses, child care costs, schooling fees, etc.
Do I need Life Insurance on top of my super?
Most super funds offer at least a basic level of life insurance, as well as income protection and Total Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance to protect members and their families from the financial hardship of death or a terminal illness.
The level of cover and types of insurance provided through your super are limited. Payments are also sometimes delayed after you’ve made a claim, and coverage ends after you reach a certain age (usually 65 or 70). Read more about the pros and cons about using the life insurance included with your super fund at Money Smart.
^The '$100 off first year discount' is available to new customers who take out a quote and purchase a new AAMI Life Insurance or Income Protection policy between 28 August 2025 and 25 February 2026. The $100 is spread evenly across the first year's premium payments; full benefit requires maintaining the policy for 12 months unless premiums are paid annually. If the policy is cancelled or payment frequency changes during the first year, any unallocated portion of the discount will not be honoured. This discount applies only once per policy and does not continue after the first year.
Where an eligible customer is also an existing AAMI customer who hold other AAMI branded insurance policies such as home or car insurance, the customer will also receive the standard 5% Existing Customer discount offered on AAMI Income Protection or Life Insurance.
TAL as issuer of the policy reserves the right to change or withdraw this offer for future customers at any time without prior notice.
