Understanding Life Insurance
What is life insurance?
Life insurance will pay your chosen beneficiaries a lump sum amount if you pass away or pay you if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness and have 12 months or less to live. However, there’s more to the story. You can also insure yourself against total and permanent disability; major illness and injury; or loss of income.
How much life insurance should you consider?
Everyone's life is different, so you'll need to take the time to analyse what you want to protect. If you're not sure, it may be best to talk to a financial advisor. Medibank's Life Insurance Calculator can help you take the first step to work out how much life cover you may want to consider.
When to consider life insurance?
Getting married, starting a new job, having a baby or buying a new house? A good time to consider life insurance can be before major life changes that mean the wellbeing of people you care about could be directly affected by what happens to you. This may also be a good time to reassess any existing life insurance policies to see if it’s still a good match for your needs.
