Frequently asked
Got questions? Let’s clear things up.
Straight answers about CompareWise and how comparing works.
01 How can I find the best health insurance plan for my family?
When you compare health insurance, focus on plans that balance hospital cover with extras you actually use — like dental, optical and physio — plus family-specific benefits.
02 Is private health insurance worth it for young people?
It can be — especially if you want quicker access to care, want to avoid Lifetime Health Cover (LHC) loading, or need extras like dental. Many younger Aussies compare for peace of mind and tax benefits.
03 How do I find the best value health insurance?
Compare policies based on what you actually need. Look for no-gap services, sensible extras, and whether splitting hospital and extras cover suits your lifestyle.
04 Is CompareWise free to use?
Yes. Comparing with us doesn’t cost you a cent, and you’re under no obligation to switch.
05 Do you compare every provider in Australia?
No comparison service covers every provider or product. We clearly explain the scope of each comparison and encourage you to consider other options.
06 Are the results personal financial advice?
No. Information on CompareWise is general and does not consider your complete objectives, financial situation or needs.
