Yesterday’s Australia

Family tradition

Today, we're treated to cherished memories of a family tradition, courtesy of member @RFG: 'It's our family tradition on Boxing Day... the day we all get together to celebrate Christmas. We played backyard cricket and had the slippery slide happening. Adults and grandkids can all enjoy the fun together. We take turns each year on who hosts the day.' Ah, these memories are a lovely reminder of the simple joys that unite generations during the holiday season. Thanks for sharing, member @RFG! If you have other nostalgic memories to share, hop over to our Nostalgia forum!

Hospital & Extras policies start at just $3.22 per day with no lock in contracts*.

It’s no secret that the current cost of living is hurting us all, and we need to find ways to ‘cut the fat’ wherever we can. But did you know that in 2023, the cost of health insurance increased by an average of $167* for Aussies over 65 who weren’t with one of the ‘big 5 funds’? For those older Aussies who were with one of the ‘big 5 funds’, their health insurance increased by $194*.

What you may not realise is that there are government rebates out there that could save you hundreds of dollars per year on your cover. For eligible Aussies, the starting cost of a combined hospital and extras cover comes in at $22.54* a week, or $3.22* per day once the rebate has been claimed.
