Aussies eligible for latest government rebates get health cover from just $3.28 per day

Over 50s already pay some of the highest health insurance premiums in Australia and the news that Health insurance premiums have risen by an average of 3.03% since April 2024, is seriously unwelcome news.

But what few people realise is that there are government rebates out there that could save you hundreds of dollars per year on your cover. For eligible Aussies, the starting cost of a combined hospital & extras policy comes in at under $22.88 / week (or $3.28 per day)** once the rebate has been claimed. 

The Government will now pay up to 32.8% of your policy depending on your age, income level, marital status, and cover history. If you’re not claiming this rebate you could be leaving hundreds of dollars on the table every year. 

Talk to an advisor now and find out if you’re eligible for the rebate and find out how much you could be saving. 

Here’s How You Do It:

Step 1: Select your current life stage below.
Step 2: Once you select your preferred coverage options, you will have the opportunity to compare quotes from multiple health funds.
 

No, it’s not a scam. And no, it’s not magic. In fact, it’s incredibly simple. You tell us what types of cover are important to you (often things like hip and knee replacements, dental and optical) and what types of cover aren’t important (often things like pregnancy, IVF, and orthodontics). Then we go out and try to find you a policy without any ‘fat’ – just one that meets your requirements. 

“Over the years, I’ve spoken to hundreds of hardworking Australians who were unknowingly paying for cover they didn’t need”, says Andrew Davis, CEO of HealthInsuranceComparison.com.au. “It’s not at all uncommon to speak to people in their 50’s, 60’s, and beyond, who are still paying for things like pregnancy cover, orthodontics, and IVF”. 

In the last five years, we saved the average Aussie $300.43*** by helping them stop paying for cover they don’t use. It’s as simple as that. And we don’t charge any hidden fees or mark up the cost of our policies – they all come directly from the insurers themselves. 

We handle all the switching paperwork for you, so you won’t need to have any awkward conversations with your old fund. And all our policies come with a 30 day cooling off period, so there’s no need to worry about buyer’s remorse.
