Australians take a real sense of pride in our public health system, and with good cause. We have world-class facilities and you know you’re in good hands if you get sick.
But any system has its flaws, and ours is the waiting list for public hospital elective surgery, which has only gotten worse due to COVID-19 lockdowns.
That’s why many Australians turn to private health providers to pick up the slack.
One of the benefits of private hospital cover is that you can often get treatment much quicker than through the public system.
But it comes at a price, which is where Health Insurance Comparison can help.
Our specialists can make sure you’re covered for the surgery you need at an affordable price while minimising the gap fees you pay.
The number of people waiting over a year for treatment went up by 2.1 per cent in 2019-20*.
If you’re in pain everyday, getting private treatment can be one way to get a better quality of life, sooner.
Call or click today and we’ll help you find cover that fits you for the surgery you need.
