Jan 22, 2026

VA Life specialists discussing personalised life insurance options, helping protect family, income, and long-term financial security.

Life insurance gives you peace of mind that your family, income, and future are protected. Whatever life may bring. 

Each type of cover is designed to safeguard a different part of your world, from day-to-day finances to long-term plans. At VA Life, we partner with Australia’s leading insurers to help you tailor the right mix of protection to match your goals and priorities.

Protect What Matters Most

Life has many moving parts, and everyone's priorities are unique. For some, it's about protecting family and financial security. For others, it's about independence, income protection or keeping a business moving forward. By understanding your options, you can choose the life insurance policy that best fits your needs and goals.

Personal Cover: Protection for Everyday Life

We all want to know that our loved ones and lifestyle are secure, no matter what happens. The following types of personal insurance offer practical ways to safeguard what matters most.

  • Life Insurance

Provides financial security for your family if you pass away or become terminally ill, helping them manage expenses and keep life on track.

  • Income Insurance

Replaces part of your income if illness or injury stops you from working, so you can focus on recovery without added financial pressure.

  • Disability Insurance (TPD)

Offers a lump sum if you can no longer work, helping cover debts or long-term living costs.

  • Trauma Insurance

Supports you through serious health challenges such as cancer or a heart attack, giving you time to focus on recovery.

Business Cover: Protecting Your Work and Team

For business owners, protection goes beyond personal security. It means keeping the business strong and the people within it supported. The following covers help protect your business continuity and financial stability.

  • Key Person Insurance

Helps keep your business running if a key team member becomes seriously ill, injured, or passes away, helping to cover lost income or replacement costs.

  • Buy/Sell Insurance

If a business partner passes away or is disabled, this helps the remaining owners buy out their share and keep things running smoothly.
