Income Protection

Replace your pay if you can't work.

A regular benefit that helps you keep paying the mortgage, bills and daily living costs while you recover from illness or injury.

Key features

  • Monthly benefit (often up to 60–75% of income, subject to insurer rules)
  • Waiting periods (e.g. 4, 8, 13, 26 weeks) before benefits start
  • Benefit periods (e.g. 2 years, 5 years, or to age 65)
  • Definitions of disability (own occupation vs any occupation)

Who it's for

  • Self-employed people with no sick pay
  • Employees without generous employer sick leave
  • Families reliant on your income to service debt and cover costs

How we help

  • Calculate an appropriate benefit level and waiting period
  • Compare policies for definitions, exclusions and premium costs
  • Coordinate with your existing ACC cover and employer benefits
