Frequently asked questions

How many health insurance policies are available in Australia?

There are currently {{TOTAL_POLICIES}} policies available from {{TOTAL_INSURERS}} registered insurers. This includes hospital-only, extras-only, and combined (hospital + extras) policies across all tiers. Our database includes every policy listed on PrivateHealth.gov.au.

Where does the pricing data come from?

All pricing is sourced from PrivateHealth.gov.au, the Australian Government's official health insurance information website. Prices are indicative and were last updated on {{LAST_UPDATE_DATE}}. Actual premiums may vary — always confirm with the insurer directly before purchasing.

Why do prices change when I update my profile?

Health insurance premiums vary by age, location (state), cover type (single/couple/family), excess level, and government rebate tier (based on income and age). Updating your profile recalculates all prices to reflect your specific circumstances.

What's the difference between hospital, extras, and combined policies?

Hospital covers treatment when you're admitted to hospital as a private patient. Extras covers out-of-hospital services like dental, optical, and physio. Combined bundles both into one policy, typically at a 5–10% discount versus buying them separately.

How do I compare policies side by side?

Select the compare checkbox next to up to three policies. A comparison bar will appear at the bottom of the screen. Click "Compare" to see a detailed side-by-side breakdown of coverage, pricing, exclusions, and features.

Can I filter by specific treatments or procedures?

Use the Features filters to find policies covering specific needs like pregnancy, ambulance, or no co-payment. For procedure-specific searches, visit our conditions hub which shows which tiers and policies cover each treatment.

Are all insurers included in this database?

Yes. Our database includes policies from all {{TOTAL_INSURERS}} registered Australian health insurers listed on PrivateHealth.gov.au. Some restricted funds may limit who can join, but their policies are displayed for comparison purposes.

What does "excess" mean in the policy table?

Excess is the amount you pay per hospital admission before your insurer pays. Higher excess = lower premium. Most policies offer $250, $500, or $750 excess options. Excess applies per person per admission, with annual caps. Children typically have no excess on family policies.

How often is the database updated?

Policy and pricing data is sourced from PrivateHealth.gov.au and last updated on {{LAST_UPDATE_DATE}}. Major updates typically occur in April (annual premium changes) and throughout the year as insurers modify their product offerings.

Can I buy a policy through this site?

We provide comparison information to help you make informed decisions. When you're ready to purchase, click through to the insurer's website or contact them directly. We are an independent comparison platform, not a health insurer or broker.
