  8. Do your children have a back-up plan (other than you)? • According to a 2010 report on underinsurance: • One in five families will be impacted by the death of a parent, a serious accident or illness that renders a parent unable to work1 • 95% of families do not have adequate levels of insurance1 1.

  12. So much for a comfortable retirement... • How can they bridge the gap? • OnePath calculations, based on the following assumptions: • Retiree couple - male age 63 has $300,000 in super and female age 58 has $210,000 in super. • Family home is owned. • Non-income tested super pension amount - male $16,000 pa and female $8,000 pa. • No capital gains tax (CGT) applies on sale or redemption of liquid savings. • CPI is assumed to be 3% pa for cash flow needs and Centrelink rates and thresholds indexation purposes. • Investment returns are assumed at 5% pa.

  13. Future-proof your lifestyle • To truly protect yourself, you need to make sure your children are adequately insured as well Protection for yourself Protection for your children

  14. Start the conversation If you’ve never had the conversation, talk to your children about a tailored protection plan. Find out what cover (if any) they have inside super, and encourage them to investigate the types and amounts of cover they need. You may find they are grossly underinsured – especially if they have debts and/or dependants.

  16. Types of cover available to protect your child and your retirement! • Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) cover for permanent incapacity • Helps eliminate debts and cover long-term care costs • Pays for modifications to the family home • Trauma cover for serious illness • Pays out-of-pocket medical costs • Helps spouse take time off work to provide care • Allows people to make lifestyle changes – like reducing work hours, or taking an extended holiday

  17. What are the odds? • Probability of claim by age 65 – female, aged 32 • 21.4% chance of a Trauma or TPD claim • 47% chance of a disability lasting 3+ months Source: IRESS Life Risk Report, 2011

  18. Advice about protection needs • It’s important people seek their own advice that takes into account their income, debt levels, family status etc • A financial adviser can help with strategies to make life insurance more cost-effective, including insurance inside super • Your children may also be able to link their cover to yours (if you have some) to receivefamily discounts on all premiums
