What is Income Protection Insurance?

Income Protection Insurance provides a monthly income if you become unable to work due to illness, injury, or disability. Typically, it covers 62.5% to 75% of your regular income, ensuring you can maintain your lifestyle and meet financial commitments even when you’re not working. ​

Without income, covering essential expenses like mortgage repayments, rent, and daily living costs can become challenging. Income Protection Insurance offers:​

Income Replacement

Receive a portion of your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury.​

Business Protection

For self-employed individuals, it can cover up to 75% of your business income, helping to manage business expenses or hire temporary assistance during recovery.

Flexible Payment Terms

Choose payment durations ranging from 2 years up to age 65 or 70, depending on your needs.

Additional Benefits of Trauma Recovery Insurance

You can choose coverage levels based on your needs and income, helping you match the policy to your financial situation.

Some policies offer a waiver of premium if you’re unable to work due to injury or illness for a certain period.

Income protection can often cover mental health conditions, providing support if you need time off for psychological reasons.

Some insurers offer return-to-work assistance, helping you transition back into the workforce after a period of absence.

How to Claim Income Protection Insurance?

To file a claim:

Inform your insurance provider as soon as you’re unable to work due to illness or injury.​

Submit necessary medical records and any other required documents.​

The insurer will assess your claim based on the policy terms and conditions.​
