Everyone has their own reason to take out and maintain private health insurance, with a major one being for peace of mind. If the unexpected happens you can feel confident in knowing that you have choices – you have the choice and flexibility in choosing who treats you, where you’re treated and often where you’ll be treated.

By taking out Private Hospital Cover, as well as getting a choice in your treatment, you may be able to reduce the length of time you might have to wait to be treated in the public system. You’ll also avoid possible Government penalties like the Medicare Levy Surcharge or Lifetime Health Cover Loading.


Our Hospital Cover helps to cover the cost of services you receive outside of a hospital admission, that aren’t claimable through Medicare. Benefits are available for services like dental, optical, physiotherapy and more – things that keep you healthy on a day to day basis.

You can coupled their hospital cover with a health savings account to save for extras.
