Medico-Legal Work: Opportunities for Today's Doctors

Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance provides a safety net for medical professionals facing serious injury or illness — but navigating a claim isn't always straightforward. In this episode, Matt Andrews discusses the current TPD claims landscape, key trends insurers are seeing, and what claimants need to know before lodging a claim. 

Matt Andrews is a Partner and Head of the Superannuation and Insurance practice at Zaparas Lawyers. He is joined by Yanish Geerdharry, Head of Risk Advisory Services at the Bongiorno Group. 

They discuss the differences between default superannuation cover and tailored retail policies, typical waiting periods before a claim can be made, time limits for disputing a declined claim, and the implications of non-disclosure and misrepresentation at the point of application — including how pre-existing conditions are treated differently across policy types.

Disability Insurance: Getting It Right Before You Need It

Success in medicine is rarely linear. It is shaped by timing, trade-offs and the support systems around you. Bongiorno Group Director Nick Fennessy speaks with orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Tharsa Thillainadesan, about building her career while raising a young family. She reflects on the role of mentors, the realities of balancing competing demands, and the importance of support both at home and professionally. A central theme is financial discipline, asking questions, and seeking specialist advice early, particularly in navigating investments, structuring income and planning ahead.

How a Surgeon Shaped Her Career, Family and Financial Future

In part two of this series on investment structures, the Bongiorno Group’s Ricky Caldow and Mitch McKeown examine company structures and superannuation. 

Companies can provide asset protection and tax deferral opportunities, while also outlining the limitations, including the absence of capital gains tax discounts and the complexities involved in accessing profits personally. 

Superannuation, remains one of Australia’s most tax-effective investment environments. They explore contribution strategies, retirement planning, self-managed super funds, and the common mistakes they see from high-income professionals who neglect superannuation during their peak earning years.
