Life Insurance by Age & Stage of Life

At Covermate Life, we understand that your needs change as you move through life. The right life insurance in your 30s may look very different to the cover you’ll need in your 50s, as a parent, or when you’re enjoying retirement.

 

That’s why we’ve created a simple way to explore life insurance by life stage. No matter where you are on your journey, our expert team can help you compare policies and choose cover that suits your lifestyle, family, and financial goals.

Life Insurance for Singles

As a single person, you may think life insurance isn’t necessary. But if you have a mortgage, debts, or family members who rely on you, cover can protect your loved ones from financial hardship.

Life Insurance for Couples without Kids

Even if you don’t have children, life insurance can help protect your partner from shouldering joint debts or mortgage repayments. It can also provide financial security to cover ongoing living expenses if something unexpected happens.

Life Insurance in Your 60s

Approaching retirement doesn’t mean cover isn’t important. Many Australians in their 60s still carry debts or wish to leave an inheritance.

FAQ 

Do I need life insurance at every stage of life?
Not always. Your needs depend on your financial situation, debts, and dependents. But most people benefit from having some form of cover during working years and family-raising years.

Is life insurance cheaper when I’m younger?
Yes. Premiums are usually lower in your 20s and 30s, making it a good time to secure long-term cover.

What happens if my needs change?
Life insurance policies can often be adjusted. As your life changes — buying a home, having children, retiring — we can help you review your cover.
