From 1st April 2020, health insurance premiums are set to rise on average by 2.92%—nearly double the rate of inflation*.

Families will cough up an extra $1.99 per week, while singles will see an increase of 68 cents.** This might not sound like a lot, but it adds up to over $100 for families per year. And we can’t help but ask: why are those preparing intelligently for their future paying disproportionately more for cover?

Health Minister Greg Hunt said it himself.

“…I encourage consumers to shop around to get the best deal for themselves and their families.”

Every dollar matters, and staying stagnant is often more damaging for your wallet than making a move.

You might be wondering how switching policies works or whether it’s worth your time. Maybe you’re worried about re-serving waiting periods and leaving your family in the dark, without health cover, at a crucial time.

We get it.

Health Insurance Comparison deals with parents and families every day, with the same concerns. But, contrary to popular belief:
