🦴 Did you know?

A simple bone fracture could result in a claim payment under some insurance policies.

Many people never claim because they simply don’t know what they’re covered for.

✅ Broken bones
✅ Minor injuries
✅ Accidents that disrupt everyday life

If you’ve had an accident or injury, it might be worth checking your policy. You could be entitled to more than you realise.

Don’t pay for cover you never use. Know what you’re covered for.

💡Did you know there’s a big difference between Standalone and Accelerated products?

With Standalone Cover, your Trauma Cover is paid separately — meaning your Life Cover remains unchanged after a claim.

With Accelerated Cover, a Trauma claim can reduce the amount of Life Cover you have remaining.

⚡️ It’s not always about choosing the cheapest option.
⚡️It’s about choosing the right protection for you and your family.

Not sure which type of cover you have? 👀
It could be worth checking before you need to claim.

💡 A $621,000 decision most people don’t even realise they’re making.

When it comes to Life Insurance, the cheapest option today isn’t always the cheapest option over time.

Our comparison showed a $621,000 difference between Stepped and Level premiums for $500,000 Life Cover 🙋🏻‍♂️ and 🙋🏼‍♀️age 35 to 80 non smokers.

The question isn’t: ❓”What’s cheapest today?”
The question is: ✅ “What’s going to cost me the least over my lifetime?”

Before your next policy anniversary, it might be worth reviewing which premium structure you’re on.

A serious illness or injury could change that in an instant.

Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) Cover can provide a financial safety net if you’re unable to return to your occupation.

⛑️ Same cover. VERY different outcome.

DID YOU KNOW some disability policies offset ACC payments, while others don’t?

That small detail could make a BIG difference when you need it most. 👀

👉 Do you know what’s really in your policy?
