Insurance becomes increasingly important in retirement, helping protect the lifestyle you’ve worked hard to build. Whether it’s safeguarding your health, your home, your vehicle, your travel plans, or protecting your family financially when you’re no longer here, having the right cover offers peace of mind and financial security. At Retirement Now, we provide independent information and education about insurance for retirees. We don’t provide financial advice or insurance products — so you can make well-informed decisions that best suit your needs and budget.
Our Insurance hub helps you understand the many types of insurance relevant to retirees and older Australians. We explain policy features in plain language, outline the benefits and limitations of different coverage options, compare insurers and inclusions, and provide up-to-date guidance tailored to the needs of retirees.
Insurance can feel overwhelming, especially as rules and eligibility criteria change with age. Retirement Now simplifies the landscape by offering step-by-step guides that help you understand what cover you may need — and what you may not. From navigating seniors health insurance and rebate thresholds to knowing whether funeral insurance or life insurance is worthwhile, our resources empower you to make informed decisions with confidence.
No single policy suits everyone, and the right coverage depends on lifestyle, risk factors and budget. We help readers compare insurance types, features and costs so they can assess value — not just price. Our comparison articles explain extras, waiting periods, inclusions and exclusions, excess options and limits in simple terms.
When readers decide a policy is right for them, we provide links to official insurers and trusted comparison services so you can continue your research directly with the provider of your choice.
Our content explores the full spectrum of insurance relevant to retirement, including:
Each topic includes practical examples, real-life considerations for retirees, budgeting tips, and strategies for reducing premiums while maintaining cover.
Our mission is to empower Australians to protect their financial wellbeing and independence in retirement. In our Insurance section, you’ll find:
Insurance isn’t just a financial product; it’s a safety net that protects your future. The more informed you are, the more confidently you can choose the coverage that suits your lifestyle and priorities.
