Income Protection Insurance

One of the biggest fears most of us have about getting sick or injured is the risk of being out of a job - and a wage. You can’t always depend on an ACC payout to be sure that you’ll be financially covered, especially if you are out of work because of an illness. This is where income protection insurance can help.

This form of insurance policy provides regular monthly payments that help cover your ongoing financial commitments, like your rent, grocery, or utility bills. With a comprehensive income insurance plan, you can rest secure in the knowledge that your expenses will be taken care of while you’re unable to work.

Why Should I Consider Income Insurance?

You might wonder why you can’t just rely on ACC instead of income protection insurance. ACC is very specific in what it covers - it won’t cover illnesses and may not pay you if your injury was complicated by a degeneration due to age. If you’re looking for a more flexible insurance option that will grant you greater peace of mind, income insurance is the ideal policy. It is more extensive and doesn’t discriminate depending on the cause of your injury or illness.

If being forced to stop working would mean you were no longer able to pay your mortgage or other household bills, it’s worth considering income protection insurance. It’s also worth choosing if:
