We're re-releasing this episode with Roger Wheelahan, Managing Director and Financial Adviser at Smart Financial Services, because the content is simply too valuable to be missed. Whether you're hearing it for the first time or coming back for a refresher, it's just as relevant today as when we first aired it.

Roger reveals why your income is your most valuable asset and why protecting it should come before paying off HECS, buying property, or investing in shares. We cover the four key types of cover every doctor needs — income protection, life insurance, TPD, and trauma — plus the traps hiding in default super and how small changes can save you thousands.

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 build a financial foundation that protects everything you're working for.
