Based in Bondi Junction, Sydney, we help employers provide reliable income protection cover that supports employees during illness or injury while improving retention and business stability.

What is Income Protection for Employees?

Income protection insurance for employees is an employer-sponsored group insurance solution that replaces a portion of an employee’s income if they are unable to work due to:

  • Illness

  • Injury

  • Disability

Typically, policies provide monthly payments (e.g. up to 70–75% of income) for a specified benefit period.

This cover is often included within a broader group insurance or employee benefits program.
