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.

Whale watching out of Ballina…

Oh my goodness! How incredible is this photo shared by member @BrentonG? They captured a once-in-a-lifetime moment from a whale-watching expedition in Ballina. I’ve never seen a dolphin jump that high from the water. Oh, and just when you think it can’t get any more incredible, a bird swoops into the frame, stealing the show! My, my, this shot is a testament to the wonders of our world. Thanks for sharing, member @BrentonG.
