Doctors: Watch This As You Start Your Medical Career and Protect Yourself! | Ep. 39
Episode Description
In this episode, we’re joined by Roger Wheelahan, Managing Director and Financial Adviser at Smart Financial Services. Roger reveals why your ability to earn an income is the single most valuable asset you’ll ever own and why protecting it should come before paying off HECS, buying property, or investing in shares.
We break down the four key types of cover every doctor should know, income protection, life insurance, TPD, and trauma, along with the traps in default super and how small changes can save you thousands.
You’ll also learn how to match your insurance and asset structures to each stage of your career, why “you are the ATM” is the most important mindset shift for financial security, and how to set up your super for long-term growth from day one.
If you’re an intern, registrar, or early-career consultant, this episode will show you how to avoid costly insurance mistakes, structure your cover properly, and set up a solid financial foundation that protects everything you’re working for.
