Trauma cover is also referred to as 'critical illness' cover or 'recovery' insurance.
A serious illness can make it difficult or impossible for you to continue to work. If this happens, you will need to find a way to support yourself and your family. Trauma cover can provide a financial safety net for such events.
Trauma insurance provides cover if you are diagnosed with a specified illness or injury. These policies include the major illnesses or injuries that will make a significant impact on a person's life, such as cancer or a stroke.
Trauma insurance pays a set amount. This can be used for things like:
- Any private medical costs above your health insurance
- The ongoing cost of any therapy and special transport costs
- Adjustments to housing and lifestyle changes
- Debt repayments

Should I consider Trauma Insurance?
While a Trauma policy will not provide a cure for an illness or injury, in the case of a diagnosis, it certainly can provide security and peace of mind that you will not place your family under financial stress on top of the emotional stress that comes with such circumstances.
