Jess’s story: Critical Illness, Melanoma

Who is Jess?

Jess is a 27 year old from Brisbane who has spent the last 8 years loving her job in the insurance industry.

What happened to Jess?

Being young and healthy, Jess never expected to have to need her life insurance plan. However, after she was diagnosed with a melanoma at a young age, she was grateful she had taken the time to visit a financial adviser. Her adviser helped lodge her claim so she had one less thing to worry about while recovering.

Where is Jess now?

By being proactive and taking out her life insurance policy, Jess was able to undergo surgery and have the cancer removed without worrying about any of the financial burden that situation often lands people in. She is now cancer-free and living her best life.

“I’ve been working in insurance for eight years. It’s something that I’m really passionate about because of the positive impact it can have on people’s lives. I had Life and Trauma Insurance cover, which I took out through a financial adviser. He was instrumental in helping me lodge the claim. Having insurance meant that even though recovery was the ultimate destination, the journey was that bit easier.”
