It’s a good idea to review your cover regularly to make sure it suits your current needs.
Review your insurance Common misconceptions (and what’s actually true)
Myth: I’m too old for life insurance to matter
Fact: If you have dependents or debt, life insurance still matters.
Myth: Life insurance is expensive and not worth it
Fact: You can often adjust your cover to make premium payments more manageable, while still staying protected.
Myth: My Super will cover everything
Fact: Super may not cover all expenses, especially if you still have a mortgage, have final expenses or want to leave something behind.
Understand what you may be giving up before cancelling
Cancelling your cover now may mean:
- Losing cover that may leave you or your loved ones without a financial safety net.
- Needing medical tests if you reapply for cover later.
- Potentially being ineligible for new cover, if your health circumstances change or you are above entry age for the cover.
You’ve maintained your cover for a reason - ensure it still meets your needs.
