Life insurance isn’t just a cost, though it often feels like it. However, what you’re buying is peace-of-mind and the ability to avoid serious financial issues.

Insurance provides you with the ability to manage the financial and emotional impact arising should you experience a serious injury or illnesses. Insurance covers issues that can arise for you personally, your family or your business.

Insurance can’t replace a loved-one, but it can help reduce the financial burden by providing the capital to ensure your family has choices.

A yes to any of the following questions means you have a need for insurance coverage. However, many Australians are underinsured, and the consequences can be serious for families should there be a death or serious injury.

Do you have a mortgage?
Do you have school fees?
Do you have any personal loans?
Do you have dependents?
Would your financial position be affected if you were to suffer from an illness or injury?
Do you want to have enough capital to look after your dependents if you were unable to care for them for an extended period of time or perhaps indefinitely?
Do you operate a business that has key people within it or other business partners?

We understand that it can be difficult determining the type and level of cover you might need, let alone choosing an insurer. We can assist by helping you determine your needs and recommend an insurer that is right for you.

At Integrity Financial Advisory we will provide the support and expertise needed to help you implement the most suitable insurance options for you, your family and your business.
