Insurance & Risk Management
 








Everyday single day, Australians like you suffer an illness or injury they don’t expect. No-one expects to get cancer or have to take a few months off work after a car accident, but it happens every single day. We can help you put a risk management plan in place with appropriate wealth protection insurance to ensure your family can carry on financially in the event of a claim.

If you have people who depend on you, having term life insurance is critical. No one is comfortable at the thought of his or her own death, but it's something that you have to plan for if you have loved ones who depend on you. If you were to die, would you be 100% certain your family's financial security would be preserved? Would your children be able to go to college? Could your spouse retire in comfort?




The right life insurance policy can help you answer all of these questions confidently and with peace of mind. On our site, you can find the policy that's best for you by getting life insurance rates from some of the best insurers in the business.





The cost of Life Insurance may come as a pleasant surprise. Despite the large sums insured, premiums are relatively low and in some cases similar to the price of general insurance. To help you understand how the cost of Life Insurance can remain so low, most Life Insurance plans have stepped premiums, which are related to the level of risk at particular ages.

Part of managing wealth is protecting that wealth. A good planner can take a look at the insurance you need and make sure you are getting it in a cost-effective manner. I'm not talking about selling insurance investments, also known as "permanent insurance," I'm talking about pure, transparent insurance. Regardless of your time in life and whether it be when you are…

Young, Free and Single – The car accident changed everything. Don’t underestimate your “human life value”

Growing up Safe and Sound – The difference a child’s crisis plan could make on parent’s lives if their child suffered a critical illness. No parent can buy a child’s immunity from cancer. It doesn’t respect the boundaries of age, wealth or physical fitness.

A career on the Up and Up – You’ve got a new job, a new income and a new lifestyle - a lifestyle that you and your family will soon become accustomed to. If you were to die tomorrow, how would your family maintain their standard of living?

A cash boost for your business – Your business has just received the financial boost that it needs. But if you were to die tomorrow, who would repay the loan? There is a way to protect the financial future of your business. Life insurance allows you to protect your business now.

For business owners – sickness and injury can affect more than just personal income. Your absence from the daily running of the business can create a situation where turnover falls, while the costs of rent, support staff and utilities continue.  

The only person for the job – You’re a key part of the business, the only person for the job. But how would the business cope if you were to die tomorrow? There is a way to protect the financial future of your business. Life insurance allows you to protect your business now.

Protection for Lifetime’s worth of Assets – What are your assets? When you think of the term ‘assets’ you most likely visualise possessions such as your home and car, or perhaps you think of jewellery, savings or investments. As valuable as these are, assets can also include intangible objects that may not immediately be considered in dollar terms. What about your relational assets? These are assets based on the relationships you have with the people closest to you and are characterised by a high degree of emotional and physical dependence or interdependence,

Or any of the thousands of actual situations we have help people just like you to prepare for...






You can effectively and economically immunise your financial future against injury and illness using a combination of four basic types of cover:

1.   Income protection insurance to provide a replacement monthly
      income if you are temporarily sick or injured.

2.   Critical illness insurance to provide a lump sum of cash if you are diagnosed
      with a major illness such as cancer, head trauma or multiple sclerosis.

3.   Total and permanent disability insurance to provide a lump sum of cash
      if you become totally disabled and are unable to work again.

4.   Life insurance to provide a lump sum of cash upon diagnosis
      of a terminal illness or death.

With a combination of these insurance types, you can maintain the financial resources needed to adjust your lifestyle independently, and with confidence and dignity.

Since 2008, the Australian Commonwealth Government has decided to regulate the credit code across the entire country, as there have been varying degrees of regulation and licensing from State to State. This means from 1 July 2010, all companies and individuals who deals with credit and lending, will be required to hold a Credit License that is recognise Australia wide. The license will be regulated by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, the highest level of regulatory body in Australia. This means there is better protection and a higher quality of professional service for you.

All MST Active Finance Professionals will have this license, and their credit license number will be freely available for inspection on our website. It is important that no matter which Finance Professional you see, whether they are a Financial Planner or Mortgage Broker, when they deal with credit then do ask them for a credit license number, and verify that number on the ASIC website.
