This Week at Skye Ep 55: Trauma Cover, Mental Health Claims & Your Safety Net

In this episode of This Week at Skye, Ash is joined by associate advisor Ruby while Phil is away at the MDRT conference in America. Together they unpack two important industry articles: one urging advisers to reconsider the role of trauma insurance amid a cost-of-living squeeze, and another from Zurich exploring the rising tide of mental health TPD claims and what insurers are doing about it. With nearly half of working Australians living payday to payday and anxiety disorders projected to make up the majority of mental health conditions by 2030, the conversation around protection has never been more relevant. Ash and Ruby also cover a standout Skye Savings result (a client saving over 50% on their insurance premiums), a glowing five-star review for Kelly, and Ash's homemade dark chocolate, cranberry and almond biscuits get put to the taste test. A genuine, insightful episode that blends real industry commentary with the behind-the-scenes culture that makes Skye what it is.
