Essential Life Insurance information


Life insurance is a lump-sum payment that you or your family receive if you pass away or become terminally ill. It’s one way of making sure that your loved ones won’t have to worry about financial troubles when you’re gone.

As we get older, our insurance needs change too. That means it’s important to know about the different types of life insurance products available and which one works best for your situation.

Life insurance pays out a lump-sum benefit to your family when you pass away or become terminally ill. The process usually starts by getting approved by an insurer and then setting your benefit amount.

Here is a brief overview of what you should consider at each age bracket when setting a suitable benefit amount.

There is no set price for life insurance as each policy is tailored by you to your specific needs and circumstances. Learn how your premiums are calculated.

Life insurance can benefit you and your family when the unexpected happens by acting as a financial buffer for any immediate bills if you were to pass away or suffer from a terminal illness, which can be of growing concern for all of us as we get older. 

Here’s a brief overview of the tax implications you should consider around life insurance and other related products, especially as you get older.

Life insurance covers death by any cause (although suicide is usually excluded for a set period of time) or if you were to suffer a terminal illness where the doctor advises that you have 12 months or less to live.

The process of buying insurance will be different depending on whether you choose to do it yourself or go through a broker or advisor. Here are some things to keep in mind about each method.

Life insurance in Australia can be split into three main categories. This will help you understand what is meant by each and which type of policy may be right for you.
