Life Insurance for mature singles
Help safeguard your way of life
Why is cover still important for singles?
With or without kids, you still have immediate and ongoing expenses to cover. If you were unable to work due to a serious injury or illness, or perhaps you pass away before your time, it’s a good idea to have Life Insurance so that your relatives and friends don’t have to come to your rescue or endure financial hardship by taking on any unpaid debt you may have.

Sometimes when you hit a certain age you start to think about whether you have everything in place should the worst happen. You may start to question whether your superannuation or Life Insurance is enough. Will it cover all of the debts you leave behind?

Why should I have Life Insurance?
You may think death is a long way away from your doorstep, but nobody knows what could happen tomorrow. If you did leave your family behind, be it your parents, brother, sister, or kids, it would be better to leave them with a legacy rather than personal debts that they’ll have to manage.
Life Insurance may help cover your final expenses and personal debt. And if you’re a parent, it means your kids will be cared for. That way, your aging parents, friends and relatives can move forward more comfortably.

Do I need Income Protection Insurance?

Frequently asked questions
For the Sickness and Injury cover, it depends on the benefit period you have chosen. Each time you make a claim that’s accepted, you can be paid for up to 5 years, as long as you’re still unable to work due to the sickness or injury during that time.
You can claim as many times as you need over the life of the policy. The payment of benefits is subject to the relevant terms that apply to your policy, including any exclusions or limitations – check out the Combined Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Financial Services Guide (FSG) to find out more.
Yes, you can typically claim a tax deduction on income protection insurance premiums. If your income protection is part of an insurance bundle, you will only be able to claim on the income protection portion of premiums. If you receive an income protection payout, you should declare this on your tax return. You can confirm your individual tax deductions with your financial accountant by checking the ATO website.
If you suffer from the same or related sickness or injury that you have previously claimed for within 6 months of your last benefit being payable, we will recommence benefit payments without applying a new waiting period. These benefits will be added to the remaining benefit period to ensure the maximum payment under the benefit period is not exceeded. If you’ve made a full recovery and there is more than 6 months between claims, then you will commence a new claim and the benefit period will restart.
