Wealth & Personal Protection

Wealth / Personal Protection Services

Protecting what's important, Insuring your assets like your home, contents and car can provide some kind of financial relief if your property is lost or damaged. But it's just as important to remember that YOU are your biggest asset; yet this is generally the area of most under-insurance. Unfortunately most Australian families don't have enough life insurance.

A 2009 study found the average payout received by families in the event of the death of a partner was just $91,000 a worrying finding given the average family with young children has debts totalling $167,000. For Australian mums and dads this means if something happened, there wouldn't be enough insurance for their own or their children's financial needs. And it seems women are the least prepared, with only 50% of mums holding life cover compared with 62% of fathers. And while no one likes to dwell on the negative, the reality is insurance could protect your family's financial wellbeing if something happened to you.
