Are You protected?

I was in the field recently as SSE for a small exploration program. Our morning toolbox talk and risk assessment served as a reminder of just how many hazards we face when working in the resources industry. It really can be dangerous at times. Of course, we put systems and controls in place to mitigate these risks, but the reality is, some risk still remains.

Protect your most important asset – your income.

Your ability to earn an income is your most important asset because your lifestyle depends on it. However, if you had to stop work tomorrow because of an accident or illness, would you be able to continue to pay your bills and afford the lifestyle you currently enjoy?

What are the chances? More than 60% of Australians will be disabled for more than one month during their working life and more than 25% will be disabled for more than 3 months.

Income Protection cover available through Hindsight Wealth.

Income Protection cover pays up to 75% of your income to help you and your family meet the cost of living if you are injured or ill. Meaning you can focus on your recovery instead of the burden of finances.

There are other types of cover to consider too, such as Criticall Illness cover and Total & Permanent Disability. All are designed to help you financially if you can’t work due to illness or injury.

Times are tough. How can you position yourself to minimise the impact?

The last few weeks have been extraordinary to say the least. We’re battling a world wide health crisis and we face uncertainty in many aspects of our lives. It’s true that there are simply some things beyond our control and we will more than likely see many changes to our everyday lives for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. So, what can be done? On the other side of this, many people will be left with dramatic financial stress, whether it be periods of unemployment, depleted cash reserves or battered superannuation balances. And for many, timing will be an issue. Those who were weeks ago contemplating retirement may now need to change their plans. And those that are still accumulating for retirement have more than likely just seen their investments and superannuation return to levels of 5 or 6 years ago. Essentially the clock has be wound back in one way or another. It may well be a good time to take stock and lay some foundations for when thing...

Does one size fit all when it comes to Superannuation?

Super Choice – how can employers help their employees? Since 1 July 2005, most employers have been required to give their employees a choice of fund for their superannuation guarantee contributions. It is only if the employee fails to choose, or chooses a fund which cannot be used by the employer, that the employer will be able to choose the fund. Prior to this, employees essentially didn’t have a choice and they were basically stuck with the fund their employer chose for them. In the past decade since “Super Choice” was introduced, there has been a great deal of competition in the superannuation market given that employees can choose where to put their money.
