Income Protection Claims Assistance

We are here to help!

All income protection insurance policies have a “waiting period” commensurate to the amount of time you need to be incapacitated or unable to work before you can submit an insurance claim. Waiting periods will range from 14 days to 2 years.

To keep paying the bills

Income Protection Claims is especially helpful if you don’t have sick leave or annual leave to rely on (and that would be most self-employed and employees in Australia!) If being incapacitated and unable to work means you’ll struggle to pay the bills or look after your family, then income protection could prove necessary.

Have a question about TPD insurance Sydney? 

I have been a customer of Greg and would recommend him for his services in personal insurance.  He has worked hard as the intermediary with my insurance company and has come up with an excellent result given the circumstances of my situation. It is most unlikely I would have had this outcome without his assistance.
