Accident Cover

Financial Support After An Unexpected Injury

Accident cover (personal accident insurance) is designed to pay a tax-free lump sum if you suffer a specified injury in an accident — such as fractures, burns or permanent disability, depending on the policy.

Unlike income protection, which pays a regular monthly benefit while you cannot work, accident cover typically pays once based on the severity of the injury. It can sit alongside life, critical illness or income protection for broader cover.

Because we are whole-of-market, we compare leading insurers on definitions, payout scales and underwriting — so you get cover that fits your lifestyle, job and budget without the jargon.
