Financial security

You’ve set up a life together and now your finances are closely entwined. Life insurance can help protect the shared life you’re building when the unexpected happens.

Peace of mind

It’s comforting to know that as you’re making your dreams and goals a reality, you’ve got back-up if illness or accidents get in the way.

When could couples consider life insurance cover?

You may want to consider life insurance when:

Good to know

With TAL Life insurance you may be able to increase your cover without needing to answer medical questions if you have a significant life event, like getting married, having a baby or a buying a house.

Please make sure to read the PDS for exclusions and additional T&Cs. Not all customers are eligible to increase cover without answering medical or other underwriting questions.

You're buying a house

A house is a big financial commitment for most couples. Taking out life insurance products such as Income Protection could protect your investment.

You're starting a family

Stay-at-home parents perform a lot of duties for free—if you had to pay someone else, it could get expensive. Getting cover for both of you can help keep the home front protected.

You're planning for retirement

Some couples now have fewer expenses, but if you’re still paying off your mortgage or saving for retirement, life insurance could help protect your retirement goals.

You're retired

Life insurance gets more expensive as you get older, so consider whether it still meets your needs. If you still have dependents or financial commitments, it may be useful.
