What is Income Protection Insurance?
Put simply, Income protection insurance aims to protect your income in the event that you can’t work due to illness or injury.
How income protection insurance works?
Income Protection insurance provides an income stream for you should you become unable to work due to an injury or illness. In the event of a claim, the insurer will pay an amount (normally up to 75% of your gross salary in Australia) until you have recovered sufficiently to work again, or up until the maximum benefit period as stated in the policy which is normally 2 year, 5 year or up to age 65.
