Trauma Cover

We all know someone who has been touched by some form of serious illness, whether it be, Cancer, Heart Attack, Stroke. We all know someone who has suffered at the hands of one of these potential killers, whether it was a family member, friend or even a celebrity.

The physical and mental strain of trying to recover from serious illness or injury, compounded by the financial pressures of multiplying medical expenses, that are not all covered under Private Health Insurance. The loss of income while you are unable to work and the, day to day costs, of raising a family, the mortgage, school fees, etc, prohibit a speedy recovery.

Solution:

Trauma Cover, provides a lump sum, to assist with the costs associated with serious illness or injury. Statistics prove that if the financial pressures are removed, the patient has a better chance of making a full recovery.
Events will vary between companies. Most will offer cover for these illnesses.(this is a guide only, please see company Product Disclosure Statement PDS for exact coverage).

Case Study:

As a 35 year old chef and all around food enthusiast, David was well suited to his job.
He even enjoyed cooking at home, treating his wife and children to an exotic array of experimental dishes.

Soon to depart on a family holiday, David was undergoing a health check when he mentioned the pain and swelling he'd been experiencing in his neck. After his GP ordered a series of tests, David was stunned to learn that he had thyroid cancer - requiring surgery in just three weeks.

David's Trauma Cover Policy paid out a benefit of $515,000. This money allowed him to pay for ongoing medication and treatment, eliminate the mortgage, and even put aside some money for future expenses.

By alleviating the financial burden of his illness, David's insurance benefit allowed him to focus on recovering his health. It also meant that he could finally take that holiday.
