The secret of the April price hike that Aussies need to know

Private health funds are raising their premiums by an average 2.92% on April 1 2020.

Though it’s set to be the lowest hike in 19 years, it will still add $103.50 to the average family policy, and around $35.35 to a single’s policy.¹

But there’s a key piece of information that your health fund might not want you to know.

Not all funds will pass on these higher costs to their customers. In 2019 some policies increased by only 1.64% while others skyrocketed by a staggering 5.91%.

Yet most Aussies will simply absorb this extra cost, never knowing how easy it is to start paying less.

We believe Australians deserve better value from their health insurance.

That’s why we’re committed to making finding affordable health cover quick, simple and effective.

By comparing with us Aussies were able to save an average of $356.70 on their yearly premiums last year alone, and families with health insurance were able to save $600.31.²
