What is Total and Permanent Disablement Insurance?

Disablement is life changing. Total and Permanent Disablement Insurance can provide a financial injection to help make lifestyle changes if you become totally and permanently disabled due to sickness or injury. 

Most people use Total and Permanent Insurance for:

  • Paying for their spouse or another family member to take  time off work which allows them to provide extra help and support
  • Making lifestyle changes e.g. where they live, modifying their home, clearing debt such as credit card, personal loans, mortgage
  • Paying for additional costs such as travelling to medical appointments or additional childcare
  • Paying off the mortgage or other debt
  • Putting towards everyday living expenses as their income often reduces
