Why is Trauma Insurance cover important?

Trauma insurance cover (also known as Critical Illness insurance) pays a cash lump sum if you are diagnosed with a serious medical condition such as cancer, stroke or heart attack.

Trauma insurance is intended to relieve financial pressure so that you can focus on your recovery. The trauma cover payout can be used to:

• Pay out-of-pocket medical costs (not covered by your health insurance)
• Cover living expenses and childcare costs while you are recuperating
• Keep up debt repayments and possibly pay down debts
• Make lifestyle changes such as reducing work hours or increasing family time/holidays
