  6. The need for protection • If you were unable to work... • What would it mean for your income? • What about your family’s lifestyle? • Could you sustain your current debt levels? • How would it affect your retirement plan? • How long would your businesssurvive?

  7. The need for protection • Workers compensation generally doesn’t cover injuries that happen away from work, or provide protection against serious illnesses. • Social security payments may not cover your medical and living expenses, and there may be waiting periods. • Private health insurance doesn’t help you with your everyday living expenses and is often capped.

  8. What about the National Disability Insurance Scheme? Does it replace the need for life insurance? No… here’s why: • Designed to help the most severely disabled people, not everyone who has a disability. • Doesn’t cover temporary conditions that may occur. Such as disabilities from a car crash or from a serious illness. • It’s main purpose is to give people who are severely and permanently disabled more personalised assistance and a greater connection with their community. Not financial support. • Available in limited regional areas, with roll out not until 2019/2020 • Even if you are eligible, it can’t help you eliminate debts, provide an replacement income or cover the out-of-pocket costs of medication and treatment.
