Personal Accident & Illness Insurance
Protection for injury, illness, disability and death
Accidents and illness bring costs you can't plan for — medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, reduced productivity. Personal accident and illness cover steps in when you can't work. Cover applies around the clock, on and off the job.
What does it cover?
This cover pays out for your income loss regardless of whether the illness or injury was work-related. That's what sets it apart from workers compensation.
Accidental injuries
Cover if you're injured doing your job — including a motor vehicle accident. Excluded where alcohol or drugs played a role.
Illness
Cover when a health condition stops you working and you need help managing daily tasks at home.
Disability
Some policies cover temporary or permanent disabilities that stop you earning a living.
Death
A one-time lump-sum payment to your beneficiaries for accidental or illness-related death.
Types of accident & illness insurance

Regular payments to replace income lost through illness or accident.
Trauma Insurance
A lump-sum payment for critical illnesses such as stroke or heart attack.
Total & Permanent Disability
A lump-sum payment if you're permanently disabled by accident or illness.

Why do personal accidents & illness need insurance?
It's crucial for contractors and sole traders who aren't covered by workers compensation. Time away from work hits your income directly — and our cover applies around the clock, on and off the job, so you can focus on getting better.
