It is now possible to purchase a Term Life, Trauma or Income Protection policy that includes cover for your child/ren. Should your child/ren suffer a traumatic event this policy will provide a lump sum benefit to assist with the payment of medical care or other related expenses.

What does Children’s Insurance cover?

Select insurers offering Children’s Insurance pay a tax-free lump-sum of up to $200,000 if your child:

  • Suffers a traumatic event as outlined in your policy;
