Australian Health Insurance Funds

Here you will find a list of health insurance funds which provide coverage for podiatry services in Australia. It is evident below that many health insurance companies offer various levels of health insurance cover within Australia. The Australian Government has recently tried to simplify the process of choosing the right health insurance cover by insisting health insurance products are categorised under 1 of 4 types. These types are basic cover, bronze cover, silver cover and gold cover.

In theory this classification is a step in the right direction, however, trying to choose the right health cover still remains far more challenging than choosing the correct mortgage for your family home. The confusion makes it difficult for consumers to make real insurance product comparisons, nevertheless, it's a small improvement which will hopefully lead to further positive changes for consumers.

This list is constantly being updated but is current up until the 1st April 2019.
