Get peace of mind with income protection, life insurance and more from the team at Newcastle Financial Planning Group.
Life is full of uncertainty. The death, injury or illness of a family’s income earner can put a lot of financial and emotional strain on a family.
Life insurance advice is an important part of your overall financial security. It can help you make sure that you have protection in case something happens to you or a loved one.
You can have total peace of mind knowing that Newcastle Financial Planning Group’s Insurance Team is here to guide you through the insurance journey when you need it most.
At NFPG, our team of experienced insurance specialists will thoroughly assess the cover you have and determine what combination is adequate for your unique circumstances regarding several types of life insurance products, including:
Life Insurance
This type of insurance offers an agreed lump sum payment to your beneficiaries in the event of your death. Your financial dependants can use the policy’s proceeds to continue living the life you had planned.
Life insurance is essential, and if any of the following apply to you, consider buying life insurance:
1. Someone depends on you for financial support.
2. Your estate will need more liquid assets to cover taxes and debt.
3. You wish to cover funeral and burial expenses.
4. You want to leave a charitable legacy for a cause you support.
Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Insurance
TPD insurance provides a lump sum payment if you become permanently disabled due to a serious illness or injury.
A TPD payment can be utilised to sustain your standard of living while recuperating, make necessary modifications to your residence, obtain specialised medical care, continue meeting loan obligations, manage household expenditures, and guarantee that your family members won’t have to make compromises in the event of your disability.
Like any other insurance coverage, premiums, terms, and conditions will differ depending on several factors.
Trauma/Critical Illness Insurance
Trauma insurance provides coverage in the event of major medical conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, or cancer.
Individuals opt for trauma cover to mitigate financial burdens that may arise during a significant health crisis. Dealing with a serious illness or injury entails significant expenses for various medical needs that may not be fully covered by Medicare or private health insurance. These expenses may include rehabilitation therapy, medications, ongoing doctor visits, and more.
Income Protection Insurance
Your financial situation is greatly affected by lost income due to sickness or injury. Income protection insurance is specifically designed to offer financial support and partially replace the income you were receiving prior to your illness or injury.
This ensures that you can meet your regular financial obligations and cover essential living expenses.
Typically, you receive a monthly benefit that continues until you are able to resume working.
Personal Insurance Provides Certainty in Uncertain Times
Understanding the different types of insurance available, how they work together, how policies differ, and how they pay out a claim is essential.
NFPG provides expert advice in this area to ensure appropriate cover for you and your family.
There’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to selecting insurance policies. Having a tailored combination of insurance can provide peace of mind if a claim ever needs to be made, allowing you and your family to focus on your long-term well-being. It’s essential to talk to a professional life insurance adviser who can help you get the right policies in place and support you from application to claim.

Life Insurance Advice Newcastle
The amount and type of insurance coverage you require will be determined by your individual needs and circumstances. To determine the appropriate level of coverage, it is important to consider the financial requirements of your family to sustain their current lifestyle, how long they would require financial support for, as well as other sources of income – e.g., your partner’s income.
Yes! You can own multiple life insurance policies. However, it’s important to check with your insurer that you can claim on more than one policy for the same event, or that you don’t exceed their maximum sum insured limits.
When you have a pre-existing condition, it is crucial to inform your financial adviser at the outset to ensure that they can take this information into account during their analysis. With a wide range of life insurance options available in the Australian market, it is possible that certain insurers may still offer you a satisfactory level of coverage, albeit with a premium loading or health exclusions.
