Life is unpredictable. One moment, everything is going smoothly, and the next, a serious illness or injury can turn your world upside down. While we can’t control what happens, we can prepare for it. That’s where trauma insurance comes in—helping to provide financial security when you need it most.
What is Trauma Insurance?
Trauma insurance (also known as critical illness cover) provides a lump sum payment if you’re diagnosed with a serious illness or condition covered under your policy. These can include cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and other major medical events. The payout is designed to alleviate financial stress so you and your family can focus on recovery rather than worrying about bills.
How Trauma Insurance Supports You and Your Family
- Covers Medical and Treatment Costs
While New Zealand has a great healthcare system, not all treatments or specialist services are fully covered. Trauma insurance helps pay for private treatments, specialist consultations, or overseas medical care if needed, giving you the best chance at recovery. - Replaces Lost Income
A serious illness can force you to take time off work—or stop working altogether. Trauma insurance provides a financial buffer, ensuring you can keep up with mortgage payments, rent, groceries, and other expenses without stress. - Allows Your Partner to Take Time Off Too
If you’re unwell, your partner may need to take unpaid leave to care for you. A trauma insurance payout can help cover lost income so your loved ones can be by your side when you need them most. - Funds Rehabilitation and Lifestyle Adjustments
Some illnesses or injuries may require rehabilitation, home modifications, or ongoing care. Whether it’s physiotherapy, mobility aids, or adjusting your home to accommodate a new lifestyle, trauma insurance ensures these costs don’t become a financial burden. - Provides Peace of Mind for Your Family
Trauma insurance isn’t just about money—it’s about security and peace of mind. Knowing you have financial support during tough times allows you to focus on what truly matters: your health and your family.
