Our lifestyle and the pressures we face from day to day can present us with a serious illness. Most of us hear regularly about someone who has been suddenly diagnosed with cancer or a serious medical condition, who has suffered a heart attack or even died.

If you were diagnosed with cancer or suffered a heart attack, wouldn't it be great to receive a lumpsum payment shortly after diagnosis to assist you in treatment and funds made available to consider your future.

Take an extended holiday, pay off debt, funds available to consider alternative treatments, find the best Doctors and concentrate on recovering.

"Statistics show us that on average 1 in 4 women and 1 in 3 men will suffer from a cancer during their lifetime." Cancer in NSW, 1998

"Cardiovascular disease was the leading cause of death among Australians in 1998, accounting for 40% of deaths." Aust Heart Foundation, 2001

Medicine today is constantly being upgraded and developed and many people who would have passed away 10 to 20 years ago, are today being treated and cured.

A trauma policy is similar to a life insurance policy - the advantage is that you do not need to die to receive the funds. These illness’s are an example of those that can be covered.
