Welcome to the Health Insurance Shop - where you can learn how Australian health insurance works... and make better decisions about your health cover.

Here you can learn about health insurance (hospital and extras cover), health funds, government rebates and penalties as well as health insuracne waiting periods... including those for pre-existing conditions.  All this so you're better prepared to review your health cover options.  And armed with the right information it may be possible to save $100's on your health cover each year if you know how and where to look.

Remember, at the Health Insurance Shop we don't sell health insurance - we simply provide you with the information you need to make better health insurance decisions... free!
