Our Services
Your insurance needs change as life changes. As your financial responsibilities grow, your need for protection grows with them. Later in life, as assets build and debts reduce, the amount of cover you need will often decrease.
When we build your insurance strategy, we consider everything that could influence your financial security, including the amount of cover required, debt management, childcare and education costs, medical and rehabilitation needs and income replacement. Our goal is to make sure you have the right protection in place at every stage of life so you can move forward with confidence.
Based on the information you provide, we determine the insurance plan with the right combination of features, benefits and levels of cover, while balancing your priorities and how long you may need the protection in place. We also ask initial health and occupation questions before any application is made. This helps us understand any considerations different insurers may have so we can identify the most appropriate cover for you.
Ironbark Advice partners with some of Australia’s largest insurers, giving you access to leading plans from a wide range of providers. We also review your existing policies to identify any gaps or areas of under or over insurance, ensuring your protection aligns with what matters most.
We provide a written recommendation that outlines the features and costs of your insurance options in clear, straightforward terms. We walk you through the contract details, so you understand exactly how your cover works.
We recommend only reputable insurers that meet strict criteria across underwriting quality, features and benefits, financial strength and claims experience.
To help ensure the recommended sum insured can be achieved, we consider different ownership structures and their taxation implications. We also review the advantages of various payment structures based on how long you may need the cover.
We consider the impact of cover held within superannuation, including the long-term effect of premiums on your retirement savings, and develop strategies to help manage or reduce any impact.
Once you choose to implement our advice, Ironbark Advice takes care of all administration and manages the full application process for you.
We support underwriting at application, which means the insurer assesses your personal circumstances upfront. This helps determine how much cover they can offer, the cost of that cover and whether they’re able to accept the risk.
Underwriting can feel complex, but with our guidance the process becomes clear, supported and as seamless as possible.
At your progress meeting, we’ll review how you’re progressing toward your goals and consider how any changes in your lifestyle or circumstances may influence the level of cover that’s right for you. This helps ensure your insurance remains aligned with your needs at every stage of life.
If a claim is required, we’ll work closely with you and the insurer to guide you through the process and help make it as straightforward as possible.
