  • Why get cover?

    You might be thinking you don't need life insurance.
    The truth is, your family does.

    Deep down, when we’re married or have kids, we know we should consider life insurance. We insure our cars, our homes and other material belongings, yet we often don’t stop to think about insuring ourselves. Or the future.

    What if something unexpected were to happen? Do you have a 'Plan B' that’ll help see the family through?

    When you take into consideration all the day to day expenses the average family needs to sort out, it adds up over time.


    Average family’s ongoing expenses

    • Mortgage
    • Other debt repayments
    • Bills
    • Car insurance & expenses
    • Medical bills and health insurance
    • School fees
    • Groceries
    • Other living expenses

    Having a life insurance policy gives you added peace of mind. It's about doing something special for the people you love most in the world. It’s a way of protecting them financially if you’re no longer around to help.

    Some confronting facts:
    Australia is one of the most underinsured countries in the developed world. Did you know:

    • 95% of Australians don't have adequate insurance cover? (Lifewise / NATSEM Underinsurance Report 2010*)
    • 60% of families with dependent children didn't have enough life cover? (IFSA / TNS Protection Gap Research 2005)
    • Insurance cover within super typically amounts to just 20% of what’s required? (Lifewise / Rice Warner Actuaries)
    • One in five Australian families will experience the unexpected death, serious accident or illness of a parent? (Lifewise / NATSEM Underinsurance Report 2010)

  • See how much cover you may need

    When researching or applying for life insurance, it pays to keep the following in mind.

    Check what cover you have already
    Many superannuation accounts include a level of life insurance. If it’s not enough to look after the essentials, then additional top-up cover could make up the difference. When you arrange cover outside super, your life insurance stays with you wherever you go - even if you change employers. Top up cover can cost less than you think.

    Do your sums
    Unsure how much life insurance you need? Our life insurance calculator can help you select the right amount of cover for you.

    And as your circumstances change over time, the flexibility of Virgin Life Insurance means you can apply to adjust the amount you’re covered for as life rolls on.
