Income protection · New Zealand

You insure your car.
Why not your income?

Most of us insure the house and the car without thinking. Yet your income pays for both, and far fewer of us protect that. If illness or injury stopped your pay tomorrow, how long could the bills wait? A quick, honest chat shows you what cover would actually cost. Example figures only.

The gap most people don't know they have

ACC has you covered? Only for accidents.

MYTH
ACC covers me if I can't work.
FACT
ACC covers accidents, not illness.

Many Kiwis assume ACC steps in whatever happens. It does not. ACC covers accidents, not illness like cancer, a heart attack or a stroke, and illness is more likely to stop you working than injury. Income protection fills that gap. Worth a 15-minute chat to see where you stand.

Three moments

3 moments that change everything.
Are you covered for them?

A new mortgage

The bank is happy. But if your income stopped, who pays it?

A new baby

One more person depending on your pay, right when life is busiest.

Your first big job here

More income to protect, and more people counting on it.

These are the moments cover matters most. A free 15-minute chat sorts it in plain English.

New to New Zealand

Just arrived? The insurance gaps nobody warns you about.

Insurance here works differently from home, and getting it wrong is expensive. Here is what to check.

1
ACC covers accidents, not illness, for everyone here.
2
Your policy from back home probably will not pay out in NZ.

The good news: most of this is easy to sort with the right advice.

You don't need residency to protect your family.

A common myth. Life, trauma and income cover are usually available on a longer work, business or partner visa, subject to the usual checks. You do not have to wait for residency to protect the people who moved here with you.

What it actually costs

Protecting your family can cost less than your morning flat white.

Most people think insurance is expensive, so they never check. For a healthy young person, cover can start at just a few dollars a day. That can be the difference between your family keeping the home or not, if something happens to you. Example figures only. Ask us what yours would look like.

Why independent matters

Your bank offers one product. An independent
adviser compares the whole market.

One door. One product. Theirs.
Many doors. Compared for you.

When you buy from a bank, you get their product. John is independent, so he compares the market and recommends what actually fits you, not what one company happens to sell. 30 years, and he works for you, not a call centre.

Frequently Asked Questions

With decades of experience in the New Zealand market, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities facing Kiwi investors.

Do I need residency to protect my family?

No, that’s a common myth. Life, trauma and income cover are usually available on a longer work, business or partner visa, subject to the usual checks. You do not have to wait for residency to protect the people who moved here with you.

ACC covers accidents, not illness. Illness is more likely to stop you working than injury, and income protection fills that gap.

Probably not. Most policies written overseas will not pay out in New Zealand, so it is worth checking before you need it.
