Research shows that Australian families have only 38% of the life insurance cover they need.

If something unexpected happened and you could no longer financially support your family, it would be comforting to know that your life insurance would provide for you. But recent research from Rice Warner suggests that wouldn’t be the case for most families.

HERE’S WHAT THEY FOUND:

38% – Rice Warner found that the median level of life cover held by Australians will provide just 38% of the amount required to ensure that family members and dependants maintain their standard of living after the death of a parent or partner.

60% – Further, they found that the median level of life cover meets only about 60% of the basic needs for average households – and a much-lower proportion of needs for families with children.

13% – For total & permanent disability (TPD), the position is worse according to Rice Warner. 

Their research shows that median cover meets only 13% of TPD needs.

17% – Median cover for income protection meets only 17% of needs, the research said.
