The cost of cancer: Life insurers pay a massive $1.55 billion in claims

With 1 in 2 Aussies affected by age 85, protecting your loved ones might be the most important thing you do today.

It’s hard to find someone in Australia who’s life hasn’t been touched by cancer. In fact, approximately 1 in 2 of us will be diagnosed with some form of the disease by age 85*.

When it comes to a condition that affects so many, it pays to be protected. New research has revealed that life insurers paid out over $1.55 billion in cancer-related life insurance claims last financial year**.

The data also revealed that breast cancer was by far the most claimed form of cancer***. For Australians, especially those with a family history of cancer, this is a great reminder not only to book in a check up, but also to make sure you have adequate protection in place.
