Life insurance is there to protect your young family financially if something happens to you

Every family is different, but the one thing that unites parents is the desire to do the best by their kids.

However, life won’t always follow the path you set so it’s important to be prepared. Unfortunately, many young families in Australia are facing an underinsurance gap1, which means their partners and children may not have enough to meet their financial needs if the main provider passed away.

Even though the risk may be unknown, many people feel that it’s worth planning for the financial challenges that their family would face should they pass away or be diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Life insurance products available direct through Choosi offer a lump sum payment of up to $1.5 million (depending on your age and policy) that helps give your family financial security in the event of your death. It can make life’s great opportunities still possible for your partner and children: travel, education, and a comfortable quality of life.

As a young family, life insurance could offer you:

  • Peace of mind for your children’s future – whether it’s education and school fees, weekend sports, or just everyday living costs, it’s good to know that your young kids will be looked after financially if something were to happen to you.
  • A way to look after the family home – if you’re worried about your family keeping up with the mortgage after you’re gone, life insurance may help your partner with the ongoing costs.
  • Optional benefits such as Children’s Insurance – you can cover your children between the ages of 2 and 17 for a death, terminal illness, or defined serious injury or illness which can help with any unexpected medical costs or other arrangements.
