LOAN PROTECTION INSURANCE
Your opportunity to Secure your future
Buying a property is one of the most rewarding and empowering experiences anyone can have. But what would happen if you couldn't make your repayments because you had a serious illness, were disabled or, worst of all, were to die?
While many people wouldn't think twice about taking out some level of home and contents insurance, very few are protecting their ability to keep their home, by purchasing loan protection insurance.
The statistics tell a sobering tale.

Cancer
- •1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85.
- •An estimated 115,000 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in Australia in 2010.
- •Cancer is a leading cause of death in Australia - more than 43,000 people are expected to die from cancer in 2010.
Cardiovascular Disease
- •Cardiovascular disease kills one Australian nearly every 11 minutes.
- •Cardiovascular disease affects more than 3.4 million Australians.
- •Cardiovascular disease prevents 1.4 million people from living a full life because of disability caused by the disease.
If you have a loan, you may at some time need loan protection...
- •The average Australian family borrows $257,000 for a new mortgage which needs approximately 18% of gross household income to meet the repayments.
- •You may not have enough life insurance. For 90% of Australians in the 20-50 age group, the only life insurance they have is via their superannuation fund.
- •The average insurance amount payable from superannuation is approximately $70,000 i.e. not enough to cover the average mortgage.
Still not convinced?
- •60% of Australian families with dependents would run out of money within 12 months if the main income earner dies.
- •66% of us have home building insurance.
