Protecting you and your family

Reassessing your personal insurance to meet your family's changing needs is essential. To ensure your family has adequate cover, the questions you may wish to consider include:

  • How would your family cope financially if you experienced a temporary, or permanent and significant, illness or injury that prevented you from working?
  • Is your existing insurance cover enough to meet your family's needs?
  • Have you reviewed your cover to account for changes in your income and/or debt levels?
  • Do your existing insurance policies have clear and unambiguous terms and conditions of when insurance benefits are payable and when they are not?

An affordable, yet well-constructed personal insurance plan can help ensure that you and your family are financially prepared for the unexpected.

Smart super strategies

Everyone hopes for a comfortable retirement, but this can mean many things to many people: overseas travel, adding to a property portfolio, ensuring that loved ones are looked after... the possibilities are endless, and one of the key steps to bringing these goals to life is building a tailored financial plan. Another key area to focus on is your superannuation strategy.

Retirement income streams

One of the most effective ways to provide some or all of your required level of income in retirement may be via a regular retirement income stream such as an account-based pension or an annuity. Some retirees may also be eligible for an Age Pension or other benefits from the Australian Government. It's important to understand how all these options work, to determine the solution that is right for you.
