Critical Illness (Trauma) Insurance

Critical illness insurance (also known as Trauma Insurance) provides a lump sum benefit in the event that the life insured suffers a “critical condition” as defined by the insurance provider. Critical illness cover is designed to help you financially recover from a trauma or crisis, such as a heart attack, stroke, cancer or other life threatening conditions.

Factors to be aware of:

• You should ensure your insurance cover is adequate for your needs. Under-insurance can present a serious problem.
• Critical illness cover is generally not held within super. However this insurance type may be connected with other insurances that are held in super, which can reduce the administration and costs of implementing the insurances via separate policies.
