FAQ

  • What is income protection insurance?

    Income protection insurance is a type of cover that replaces part of your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. It provides regular payments — typically up to a set percentage of your income — for a defined benefit period. The purpose of this cover is to help maintain financial stability when you can’t earn your usual income. Policies can vary in cost, coverage level, and waiting period, so it’s important to understand the terms before choosing one.

  • How does income protection insurance work?

    With income protection insurance, you pay premiums to maintain your policy, which activates if you meet the conditions of a valid claim. After a waiting period — which could range from 14 days to several months — you may start receiving payments. The amount you receive is usually a percentage of your regular income. Payments continue until you return to work or reach the end of the benefit period, whichever comes first. Understanding these details helps you choose a policy that aligns with your financial goals.

  • Is income protection insurance tax deductible?

    Yes, premiums paid for income protection insurance held outside of superannuation are generally tax deductible, as they relate to protecting your income stream. However, if your policy is held within super, the tax treatment may differ. The payments you receive from an income protection claim are usually considered taxable income. It’s important to check your policy details and speak with a financial advisor or accountant to confirm how tax laws apply to your specific situation.
