Do you need Income Protection insurance?
Think about the following questions. If you answer 'no' to any of them, then maybe you should think about income protection.
- Are you wealthy enough to be able to survive without your income?
- Could you maintain your current lifestyle on social security (Centrelink) benefits?
- Will your accumulated sick leave cover you for a long-term illness? Remember, if you are self-employed, you don't have any sick leave.
- Could you maintain your superannuation contributions if you didn't have an income?
For more information, please read our Income protection guide.
