Income protection insurance is designed to provide a regular income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, helping you maintain financial stability when your earnings stop.
At Holbrook Property Finance, we offer clear, whole-of-market advice to help you arrange income protection insurance that supports your lifestyle, commitments and long-term security.






Income protection insurance is a policy that pays a regular monthly income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, subject to the policy’s terms, conditions and definitions. Payments usually continue until you’re able to return to work, the policy term ends, or you reach retirement age, depending on how the policy is set up.
This type of cover is designed to protect your most important asset — your ability to earn an income. It can help cover essential outgoings such as mortgage or rent payments, household bills and everyday living costs during periods when you’re unable to work.
Income protection insurance is one of the most valuable forms of personal protection, but it’s also one of the most complex. Policy definitions, exclusions and claim criteria can differ widely between insurers, making comparisons difficult without expert guidance.
At Holbrook Property Finance, we take time to understand your occupation, income structure, employment status and financial commitments. With access to the whole of the market, we compare policies from trusted insurers and explain the differences clearly, so you understand exactly how cover would work if you needed to claim.
Using a broker also helps ensure your policy is structured correctly — including benefit amount, waiting period and policy length — reducing the risk of gaps in cover or misunderstandings at claim stage.
Income protection insurance can be tailored in a variety of ways to suit your needs and budget.
Policies can be arranged to replace a percentage of your income, with waiting periods ranging from short-term to longer deferral periods depending on your savings or employer benefits. Cover can also be structured to last for a set term or until retirement age.
Whether you’re employed, self-employed, a contractor or a business owner, we’ll help you explore income protection insurance options that balance affordability, flexibility and meaningful long-term protection.
At Holbrook Property Finance, we believe protection advice should be clear, honest and focused on real-life outcomes. We take a relationship-led approach, ensuring recommendations are tailored to your circumstances and reviewed as your life changes.
You’ll benefit from whole-of-market access to trusted insurers, straightforward explanations in plain English, and ongoing support from advisers who are committed to getting the right outcome for you.

Excellent experience working with Mark & Clare at Holbrook property finance 👍Posted on Google Sofia PittmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Mark to purchase and mortgage my first apartment few years ago, he secured me a very competitive rate which reduced my monthly payments and the whole experience was professional and stress-free. When my current fixed term is ending, I have contacted Mark to assist with a remortgage. He is consistently helpful and knowledgable, explained all the available options clearly, and took the time to understand my mortgage request then advised a product that genuinely suited my circumstances. Communication was excellent and transparent throughout, with quick response to any questions. He secured me a current best rate and handled all the paper work efficiently. An outstanding and reliable broker who truly goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend Holbrook’s services and Mark to anyone looking to mortgage or remortgage.Posted on Google Robin MallinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
