You may be even able to save up to 40% by allowing us to review the offerings of the insurance companies for you. In addition, we will also research the features of the product for you, and make sure you are not missing out on important benefits. See below potential savings below.

We have access to 10 insurers, so we can do the research and shop around for you. We strongly believe we can save you money.

You may have thought that Google is the way to  research income protection and to save money. However, you’ll find that most of the ads and search results for income protection belongs or have ties with same three providers, namely:

• Hollard Insurance– Choosi, Real Insurance, Guardian Insurance, Woolworths Insurance, Medibank;
• TAL– TAL, Virgin Money, Insurance Line, LifeBroker, NRMA, Compare The Market;
• Suncorp Life– Suncorp, AAMI, GIO, Asteron Life.

Here is an example below of a 50 year old non-smoking man from Victoria who is earning $100,000. The cheapest cover is $105.60 per month and the most expensive is $167.38 per month. That’s nearly a 60% difference, equating to over $700.00 more over a year.

Premiums for Income protection may also be tax deductible, meaning that you may receive a good percentage of the premiums you pay as a refund at tax time. If you were focused on price and not the potential benefits even the cheapest option shown above could in a tax refund of over $1,200.00 per year, based on an income of $100,000.
