Getting yourself covered is quick and easy
Life insurance provides a repetitive benefit to pay out debt and support the family should someone pass away. Life insurance premiums can be paid for by your superannuation fund or personally. It can cover things like:
- Mortgages
- Childrens ongoing living expenses
- Childrens education expenses
- Funeral benefits
Total and permanent disability insurance (TPD)
TPD cover provides a repetitive payment if you suffer a disability before retirement and can’t work again, or can’t work in your usual occupation or chosen field of employment. It can be purchased as an add-on to life insurance, or as a standalone policy. It can cover things like:
- Mortgages
- Medical expenses
- Renovations to property (e.g. to improve access)
- Childrens ongoing living expenses
- Childrens education expenses
Trauma insurance
Trauma (or critical illness) insurance provides a cash sum if you suffer a specified illness or injury. Most people don’t have money saved away to take time off work and treat illness, so this payment is designed to assist with that. Did you know? 2 in 5 people will suffer a major illness before the age of 65, and in Australia the average cancer treatment will cost in excess of $100,000.
Income protection insurance
Income protection insurance (also known as salary continuance or income replacement) provides a monthly payment to replace lost income if you are unable to work due to injury or sickness.
- The maximum allowable cover is generally 75% of your gross wage
- Waiting period determines how long you need to be off work before you can claim (1-3 months)
- Benefit period determines how long you can stay on claim (generally to age 65)
If your insurance is held within superannuation, the cost of the premiums is withdrawn from your superannuation balance. It is important to work out the best way to structure your insurance, whether inside or outside superannuation, or a combination of the two.

Amanda has been such an incredible support throughout our very first time going through the home loan process.
Her thoughtfulness to regularly check in to make sure all our questions were answered and that all our documents were in place helped to make the whole daunting process feel seamless and easy. I could not recommend her enough - she made sure to keep us informed every step of the way and made sure all necessary documents/processes were completed well ahead of time so we never had to worry about missing any steps.
She went well above and beyond her role, and I know we will definitely be coming back to her in the future, as well as recommending her to all of our networks! Thank you again, Amanda!

Yuval handled my first ever home loan, he did such an amazing job I asked to him to refinance for me 2 years later. Yuval made everything very easy for me, and will give his best recommendation as if it was his own. Would always recommend Yuval :)

Yuval Bloomfield was an absolute delight to work with. He made it extremely easy for my clients to discuss about their financial situation. With Yuval's strong connections he was able to get the loan my clients wanted in very quick time.
Will definitely refer Yuval again.

Greg and the team at 1st Street were fantastic all the way through the process of getting our financing sorted and buying a new home. They not only secured us the most competitive mortgage in the market but they also gave advice on a number of mortgage-adjacent questions that came up along the way. Their responsive and thoughtful guidance helped make the nail-biting process clear and calm. We would definitely recommend their services.

Greg and his team gave me exceptional advice and support. They were timely and detailed in their responses and dealt patiently with me as a first home buyer and all of my questions. The lender at the bank commented on how well I was being looked after compared with other brokers in the market. I’d highly recommend 1st Street to anyone, including friends and family.
