As your wealth grows, it becomes increasingly important to protect the income and assets that underpin your family’s lifestyle. Unfortunately, even affluent Australians often neglect to protect themselves and their families against the potentially devastating effects of an unexpected death or disability.
Research from the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling found that that 96% of Australian families with dependent children had inadequate insurance for their current financial needs.*
Without your income, your family could struggle to cover debts and meet everyday expenses. As a result, they could be forced to dispose of assets in an unfavourable market, severely impacting their lifestyle over the long term.
