FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

What is health insurance?

Health insurance (also called health cover) can help with the cost of healthcare in Australia. It generally includes hospital cover, which contributes towards costs if you’re admitted to hospital (such as doctor’s fees and accommodation), and extras cover, which can help reduce the cost of everyday services like dental, physiotherapy and optical (services that are often not fully covered by Medicare). Depending on your needs, you can choose hospital cover, extras cover or combine both in one policy.
