Fact of the day

There's a village with 'tiny' houses!

In the heart of Long Island, New York, lies a mysterious village known as 'Tiny Town', the purpose of which remains shrouded in uncertainty. One theory states that the residents used to be circus folk working for the well-known showman P.T. Barnum. Another narrative suggests it housed actors who played the citizens of Munchkinville in The Wizard of Oz. Whether these accounts are real or simply products of imagination, one thing is certain—Tiny Town is a truly unique and fascinating locale.

Hospital & Extras policies start at just $3.20 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 $3.20* per day once the rebate has been claimed.
