Protecting Your Family's Future: Why Life Insurance Matters​

None of us likes to think about not being there for our family. Yet every three minutes and 36 seconds, an Australian family faces this reality.

The question isn't just about mortality - it's about ensuring your family can maintain their lifestyle and dreams if you're no longer there to provide for them.​

​

The Reality Behind the Statistics​

• Every year, 1,600 Australians aged 26-59 die on our roads

• Cardiovascular disease claims 50,000 Australian lives annually

• One in three women and one in four men will face cancer in their lifetime

• 60% of Australian families with dependants would run out of money within 12 months of losing their main income earner​

​

Common Misconceptions That Leave Families Vulnerable​

 

"I Have Coverage Through My Super"​

The typical life insurance within superannuation only provides about 20% of what most families actually need. Consider: Could your family maintain their current lifestyle on just one-fifth of your income?​

​

"I'm Not the Main Income Earner"​

The contribution of a stay-at-home parent often exceeds $75,000 annually when you consider:

• Childcare

• Home management

• School transport and activities

• Household coordination

• Medical appointment management​

​

"We Have Enough Savings"​

Research shows that even families with healthy savings typically deplete their reserves within a year of losing their main income earner. Life insurance ensures your family has long-term financial security, not just a temporary safety net.​

​
