What is Income Protection Insurance?

Income protection insurance provides financial support if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. Unlike life insurance, which pays a lump sum in the event of death, income protection ensures a regular monthly payment to cover living expenses, mortgage repayments, and everyday costs.


With Covermate Life, Australians can compare policies from top providers, including AIA, Zurich, TAL, ClearView, and MLC, to find tailored cover that fits their lifestyle and budget.


Why Australians Need Income Protection

Many Australians underestimate the risk of losing their income due to unexpected illness or injury. Key reasons to consider income protection include:


  • Maintain Your Lifestyle: Ensure bills, mortgage repayments, and daily expenses are covered.

  • Peace of Mind: Focus on recovery without financial stress.

  • Tailored Cover Options: Choose benefit periods, waiting periods, and replacement ratios to suit your needs.

  • Protect Your Family: Prevent financial strain on your loved ones during difficult times.
