Tradies — builders, electricians, plumbers, carpenters and labourers — work physically demanding jobs with high injury rates. When injury or illness ends your career on the tools, TPD cover can be a vital safety net.
Why trades are well suited to claims
Your work is physical, so an injury that would only inconvenience an office worker can completely prevent you from doing your job. That's exactly the kind of situation TPD is designed for.
Common claim triggers for tradies
- Back, shoulder and knee injuries
- Crush injuries and amputations
- Chronic pain from years of physical work
- Mental health conditions following an incident
Check every fund
Tradies often change employers and accumulate super across several funds — meaning multiple potential claims.
