A note to our competitors (& those who want to be)

Let’s start this discussion off with an honest fact:

Every single company out there has competitors.
So here's a note, just for ours.

A number of our professional colleagues and suppliers (and more than a handful of competitors) continually ask us, 'why we take such a visible leadership stance about diversity, inclusion and belonging in business today?

Modern Family Insurances

However you identify, whoever you love and whoever is family to you, we believe no one should miss out. Love makes a family and love takes action. You want to provide your family with financial protection and peace of mind. We can help. #LoveTakesAction

Life Insurance

Life cover protects you from the financial effects of a terminal illness and your family’s financial security should you unexpectedly pass away, with a lump sum payment. This payment can be used to help cover mortgage payments, school fees, bills, groceries and other living expenses. We can help.

Income Protection Insurance

Income Protection is an insurance cover for one of the most important assets of all – your ability to continue to keep on earning a living. Income Protection Insurance provides a regular payment in place of your income if you’re unable to work for extended periods due to injury or illness. We can help.

Crisis & Trauma Recovery Insurance

Crisis Insurance (sometimes called Trauma Recovery Insurance) provides a one-off, lump sum payment if one of the many specified insured trauma events were to happen to you, such as being diagnosed with advanced cancer, or having a major heart attack or stroke. We can help.

Total & Permanent Disability Insurance

TPD is long-term disability insurance that gives you protection against total & permanent disability by providing a lump sum payout if you can never work again due to injury or illness. We can help.

Insurance for Medical Professionals

White-collar medical professionals are often highly paid and highly leveraged. Hospitals, surgeries, clinics and accident sites are often high-pressure, fast-paced environments where sharps occur all too frequently. Blood Borne Disease Insurance compensates you if you contract HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C due to a sharps injury while working in your regular occupation. We can help.

Insurances for People using PrEP

Australians using PrEP who need Life Insurance or Income Protection, now have a clear pathway to getting their cover sorted - stigma and discrimination-free from Unusual Risks Insured. Most insurance companies and super funds simply do not provide supportive underwriting for people taking PrEP to better manage their health. We can help.

Insurance for Business Owners & Partnerships

The common denominator for all SME's is they run on people and are therefore exposed to people-based risks. Protecting those people from the statistical realities of life, love and business can be more difficult when your personal situation is more complex and your privacy needs are greater. We can help.

Life Insurances for Intended Parents & Surrogates

Thinking about Growing Families through IVF? Are you considering using Altruistic Surrogacy? For those using the services of an altruistic surrogate there's an additional layer of complexity and responsibility to be protected. Pregnancy is not without risks. It's important to protect everyone involved in your IVF journey and any Surrogacy Agreement. We can help.

Manage My Life Insurance & Super Beneficiary Nominations Service

Are you one of the thousands of Australians who have lost track of their personal insurance policies? Do you have an existing Life Insurance policy, Income Protection policy, or perhaps a Super account providing insurance you've lost touch with? We can take over the ongoing management of any insurance policy so all your work is held in a central supportive advice practice. We can help.

Modern Estate Planning for LGBTQIA+ people

For most of our Life Insurance clients, getting their Modern Estate Planning sorted is the natural next step to having all their important documents of life, love and business all in one place. Putting your Life Insurance and Estate Planning documents together makes good sense and means updating them when major life changes occur, more easier. Your family's estate planning is too important to leave for a DIY approach on a lazy weekend, or when you have time ... sometime... next year, maybe.

Update My Life & Super Beneficiary Nomination Service

Are you one of the many people who have lost track of their beneficiary information? Do you have an existing Life Insurance policy or perhaps a Super account with insurance you've lost touch with? Maybe you haven’t nominated a beneficiary to your life insurance policy or super account? Have you forgotten who you did nominate and now need to update your wishes? We can help.

About Us

Unusual Risks Insured provides support to those people who big insurance companies leave behind. We believe in giving every person the power to use life insurance products to protect & provide for their loved ones, their businesses, and their legacy — free from barriers of stigma and discrimination.

We know, as an LGBTQIA+ person (or someone who goes without labels entirely), you probably have specific financial advice, life insurance, and privacy needs.

We're committed to serving the LGBTQIA+ Community and its Allies.
For us, it's about change leadership and #AdviceEquality.

Why not make us part of your story, so if the unexpected happens to you or whoever is family to you, you'll have a backup plan in place to help you financially recover and life can still get better for somebody you love.
