Why do you need Income Protection in New Zealand?

Financial Security During Illness or Injury

Income protection ensures a consistent stream of income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. In 2023, it's crucial to have this safety net in case you are down with illness or sustain injury that prevents you from working for an extended period of time.

Covering
Everyday
Expenses

With income protection, you can continue to cover essential expenses like mortgage or rent, groceries, utilities, and loan repayments even when you're not earning a salary. This financial stability helps maintain your quality of life and prevents falling into debt during challenging times.

Peace of Mind
in an Uncertain
Job Market

The job market can be unpredictable, and unexpected job loss can happen due to economic downturns or company restructuring. Income protection provides a financial cushion while you seek new employment, reducing stress and allowing you to make career decisions that align with your long-term goals.

Supporting
Long-Term
Goal

Income protection safeguards your financial future and long-term goals, such as saving for retirement, your children's education, or homeownership. It ensures that you can continue building wealth and achieving your objectives even during periods of reduced income.

Income Protection / Mortgage Cover

Income protection insurance, also known as disability insurance, provides a portion of the policyholder's income if they are unable to work due to illness or injury. It helps replace lost income during a period of disability, allowing policyholders to maintain their financial obligations, such as paying bills and supporting their family.

Trauma or Critical illness cover

Trauma or critical illness insurance pays a lump sum benefit to the policyholder if they are diagnosed with a specified critical illness or condition, such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. The purpose of this insurance is to provide a financial safety net to cover medical expenses, ongoing care, lifestyle adjustments, and other costs associated with a critical illness.

Permanent Disablement Cover

Also know as Total and Permanent Disablement Cover (TPD) insurance pays a lump sum benefit if the policyholder becomes permanently disabled and is unable to work again. It provides financial protection to cover living expenses, medical costs, and other financial needs in the event of total and permanent disability.
