Here are some interesting statistics:

It is expected that 1 in 3 men and 1 in 4 women will be diagnosed with a malignant cancer in the first 75 years of life. (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2004. Australia's health 2004. Canberra: AIHW)
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability in Australia, accounting for 38% of all deaths. (Heart, Stroke and Vascular Diseases. Australian Facts 2004, Australian Institute of Health and Welfare)
Every working Australian has a 1 in 3 chance of becoming disabled for more than 3 months before turning age 65. (Calculations based on data from the Institute of Actuaries of Australia 2000. Interim Report of the Disability Committee. IA Aust: Sydney)

So you think it will never happen to you....but what if it did, are you and your family protected?
