Income Protection and Superannuation

Did you know that many superannuation funds include income protection insurance for their members? If you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, you might be eligible for financial support through your superannuation. It’s essential to check with your superannuation provider to understand your coverage and claim options.

Real-World Example

Consider Lisa, a chef who was unable to work due to a back injury. Thanks to her IP insurance, Lisa received financial support, covering a portion of her salary during her recovery. This ensured she could maintain her financial stability while focusing on her health.
