PrivateHealth.gov.au is an Australian Government initiative, managed by the office of the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman.

All Australian health insurers are required by law to prepare information on all their health insurance policies in a standard format, to allow for easier comparison of the range products offered by different funds.

This website provides the Private Health Insurance Standard Information Statements for all health insurance products offered by all registered health funds. Funds must provide copies of these sheets to existing and prospective customers.

You can use this website to check the details of your current health insurance policy, or to search for and compare new health insurance products that might meet your specific needs.

In addition, this website provides a wealth of background material on private health insurance in Australia. We encourage you to read this, so that you can make a fully informed choice about your own health insurance needs.
