Trauma insurance ensures you can support yourself and your family during the most testing of times

Trauma insurance

Providing funds when you most need them

Illnesses and conditions such as a heart attack or stroke will affect your ability to make a living while you recover and receive treatment. You surely don’t want or need the extra stress of not knowing whether you can support yourself and your family during such a difficult time. The funds can be used to:

  • Immediately pay off debt such as your mortgage, reducing expenses and stress
  • Allow your spouse or another family member to take time off work to help you recover
  • Pay for the best medical expenses
  • Take a break to completely focus on a full recovery – even if you do feel up to work.

How does it work?

If you are diagnosed with a specified range of illnesses and conditions, trauma cover will provide immediate funds to put toward any purpose you wish while you recover. This money can also be used to explore additional treatments that may speed your recovery.

How is it different to life insurance?

What makes trauma cover unique, and especially valuable during a critical time, is that your diagnosis does not have to be terminal. Instead, trauma policies cover a comprehensive range of serious illnesses and conditions.

How much cover do you need?

Generally, you can apply for any amount of cover, though the limit could depend upon your health background. Your individual and family circumstances will also be considered before any policies are established. We can help you calculate how much cover you need.

Expert assistance

As is the case with other policy types, the level of trauma cover a person needs can rapidly change depending on events that are all part of life, including births, marriages, separations, increases and decreases in mortgages, increases and decreases in income, and other employment changes. These personal factors combine with the constantly improving nature of the insurance market to mean that yearly reviews of your levels of existing insurance are a necessity. Please contact us if you would like to review your current policies.
