ABOUT SHIRE LIFE INSURANCE
Ryan Walker is the Director and Lead Financial Planner at Shire Financial Partners.
In 2020, life threw something at Ryan that no spreadsheet or strategy could prepare him for. His pregnant wife, Amanda, was diagnosed with breast cancer.
“Even with all my financial planning knowledge, I wasn’t prepared for the emotional and practical toll that diagnosis would take on us. I was suddenly navigating it as a husband, a soon-to-be dad, and a business owner.
You quickly realise what actually matters in those moments and it’s not investment returns or interest rates - it’s time. Time to sit in hospital appointments, to process, to be present with your family without worrying about how the bills will be paid.
That experience cemented why I care so deeply about insurance. Life cover, income protection, trauma and TPD insurance give families breathing room. They give you options and the ability to focus on recovery instead of finances.”
Ryan now works closely with individuals and families across the Sutherland Shire to make sure they’re protected properly, so if the unexpected happens, money doesn’t become an additional source of stress.
Kyle Sapsford understands that insurance decisions are rarely just financial, they’re deeply personal.
As a husband and father of two, his biggest priority is knowing his family would be supported if life took an unexpected turn. Having the right protection in place gives him confidence that, during difficult times, they would have stability and options.
That perspective was shaped early when Kyle lost his father to cancer at a young age. Experiencing that kind of loss firsthand taught him how quickly life can change, and how important it is to have a plan that protects the people you love.
“I’ve seen what happens when families are thrown into the unexpected. It stays with you and it shapes how you think about responsibility and security.”
Today, Kyle works closely with individuals and families to put thoughtful protection in place. His approach is practical, calm and clear. He focuses on understanding each client’s situation properly and ensuring their cover aligns with real life, not just theory.
For Kyle, this work comes back to something simple: helping families feel secure enough to focus on each other, whatever the future holds.
OUR SERVICES
Our initial meeting involves getting to know you and understanding where you are financially. If we identify that insurance can help protect what you have today then provide advice on what sort of insurances are required, how much cover should be obtained and how to fund the premiums.
We consider using your superannuation or business entity for funding premiums. We also work with Shire Accounting Services to ensure that the structure housing the insurance is the most appropriate from a tax perspective to maximise the tax deductibility of premiums and reduce the tax payable on benefits paid.
