Looking after your family

At O’Brien Financial Advisors, we understand every individual and every family is different. We take the time to understand your personal circumstances and consider the needs of you and your family when providing advice.

Protecting yourself and your loved ones for the future is a key consideration in the financial planning process. Whilst it is uncomfortable to think about, it is important to ensure you and your family will be protected in the event you are unable to work due to illness or injury, or should you pass away.

Throughout the financial planning process, we complete a detailed analysis of your personal situation to understand your goals and financial situation to identify whether insurance is appropriate for you.

Our Approach

O’Brien Financial Advisors is authorised to provide personal financial advice on Life, Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD), Trauma, Income Protection and Business Expense insurance. Our insurance advice process includes:

  • A discussion of your personal and financial situation
  • Determining the type of cover you would require given your circumstances and compare against any existing cover (if in place).
    • Are you currently under or over insured?
    • Is the correct level of cover appropriate given your financial situation?
  • Gaining an understanding of your medical history for underwriting purposes. Any accidents or past illnesses must be disclosed as part of the pre-assessment process.
  • And finally, considering the structure of the insurance and the appropriate provider.
    • Is holding insurance in your own name or within superannuation more appropriate?
    • Is paying for premiums via superannuation more appropriate than paying via your cashflow?
    • We compare several products and consider your needs weighing up the benefits of more features versus the cost to ensure we implement the right cover to suit your needs and financial commitments.
