Sunday Edition | AM

Health cover from just $3.39 per day*? These little-known government rebates could help.

Good morning

Happy Easter Sunday, members! We hope you’re enjoying the long weekend, whether you've been out and about with family and friends or simply relishing a serene Sunday. Of course, don't forget to treat yourself to some hot cross buns and chocolates—I (Vella) know I will! Now, it wouldn't be a Sunday newsletter without our quote of the week, so here it is:

‘To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.’

This quote captures Easter's message of new life and hope. Planting is about putting something into the ground and nurturing it, all the while trusting that it will bloom when the time is right.
