Australian superannuation funds often provide insurance cover for temporary and permanent disability. So, when you suffer an injury or illness, you might have several disability claims via a superannuation policy.
Income protection insurance pays monthly benefits when you can’t earn an income because of a temporary disability. You can claim income protection when a temporary injury or illness stops you from working.
Beneficiaries of a life insurance policyholder can claim death benefits when the insured person passes. These funds help dependents cover expenditures like burial costs and medical fees.
