Why is Income Protection important?

Income Protection is designed to help you get back on your feet. If you’re unable to work due to sickness or injury, AAMI Income Protection is here to help. With our Comprehensive Income Cover, you can receive up to 75% of your average income (less business expenses) over the previous 12 months, up to $10,000 a month. That way, you can keep on top of bills while you stay focused on recovering.

It’s up to you how you use your monthly benefits:

Rent or mortgage payments

Bills and credit card repayments

Education icon

Childcare and school fees

Or even basics like food, clothing or petrol

How does AAMI Income Protection work?

AAMI Life provides monthly payments during your benefit period to replace some of your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury.

Features and Benefits

Cover per month

Up to 75% of income* (less business expenses) to a maximum of $10,000 a month, for those working a minimum of 20 hours/week.

*75% of the average of the last 12 months’ pay at time of claim

When are benefits paid?

Benefits build up from the end of the waiting period (after a successful claim has been made) and are then paid monthly.

You can choose the Accident Benefit Option which backdates benefits to the start of the 14 or 28-day waiting period in the event of an Accidental Injury. This benefit is not available on policies with a 60 or 90 day claim waiting period.
