What is Farmers Disability Insurance?
If you’re out of action due to sickness or injury, we’ll pay a benefit of up to 35% of the farm’s turnover – up to a maximum of $10,000 per month.
There are a few reasons why this insurance cover is so popular:
- It allows you to hire a contractor to perform the day-to-day duties that you’d usually take care of yourself
- The benefit is based on the farm’s turnover, so there’s no need to prove your individual income at claim time

Frequently asked questions
Why is there a separate cover for farmers?
Running a farm is a bit different to running any other business. We use a different way of calculating the benefit for this cover, because farmers’ incomes can be impacted by so many different factors from year to year. The definition of disability is also different for this cover, which recognises the unique situation of a farmer.
