What is  Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) Cover?

 

Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) Cover is an additional benefit that can only be added to your  Life Cover for extra protection.

TPD Cover protects you and your loved ones by paying a lump sum benefit should you suffer a total and permanent disability and can no longer work in any occupation or manage your home. With a benefit amount from $50,000 to $1,000,000 (depending on age), you can rest assured that you and your loved ones could be provided for should the unexpected occur.

Remember, although  Life Cover pays a lump sum should you pass away or become terminally ill, it doesn’t offer a benefit should you become permanently disabled and unable to work in any occupation or manage your home.

Do You Have a Plan in Place if You Could No Longer Work or Manage Your Home?

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), there were 4.2 million Australians with a disability in 2012. Out of these individuals, 88% percent had a specific restriction that limited the daily activities of self-care, mobility, communication, schooling, or employment.

It’s important to ask yourself if you were unable to work again – whether it be in any paid employment or managing your home 

how you could provide for yourself and your loved ones?  

 

TPD Cover could help with a number of commitments over your working life, which could span more than 30 years:

  • Pay your outstanding debts, such as a mortgage, car payments, or credit card debts

  • Cover medical expenses

  • Modify your home or purchase a modest home to be modified for a disablement, hire a housekeeper or carer, or afford ongoing rehabilitation
