What is this product about?

Significant events such as accident, heart attack, stroke or cancer can happen to anyone. It's an emotional time and can often be a financial struggle when a family member is diagnosed with a life threatening or debilitating health condition - the last thing you want to worry about is paying the bills.

Crisis Recovery helps ease the financial burden should you be unfortunate enough to suffer a traumatic event.

AIA Australia has prepared a Target Market Determination which describes the class of consumers that comprise the target market for this product. The Target Market Determination can be sourced at aia.com.au/tmds.

Doug's Story

Doug ensured his family’s expenses were taken care of, allowing him to focus on getting better.

Doug has been working as an accountant for the past eight years in Brisbane where he lives with his wife and three kids. Unfortunately for Doug and his family, he was recently diagnosed with bowel cancer. Doug had to undergo extensive chemotherapy, and so was unable to work for six months. As well as dealing with the emotional stress of being diagnosed with cancer, Doug also had to consider how he would pay for their mortgage, the kid’s school fees and other bills without his income.

Fortunately, their financial adviser had recommended that both Doug and his wife take out Crisis Recovery cover in addition to their Life cover. When Doug received the news from his doctor, he called his adviser immediately who submitted a claim to AIA Australia. After his claim was assessed, Doug received a lump sum payment of $250,000. This enabled Doug to ensure his family’s expenses were taken care of, allowing him to focus all his energies on getting better instead of worrying about financial concerns.
