Understanding Trauma Cover in Superannuation
Trauma insurance, often included in your superannuation, provides a lump sum payment when you are diagnosed with a significant illness or injury. It acts as a financial safeguard, covering a range of serious health conditions such as:
- Cancer.
- Severe heart conditions (e.g., heart attack, stroke).
- Major injuries resulting in long-term recovery.
This coverage is designed to alleviate financial stress, enabling you to concentrate on your health and recovery.
