Health Insurance & Life Hacks

June 30 is coming up, and if you’ve been thinking about private health insurance, it’s a natural question: Should you get covered before the end of the financial year?

At tax time, a lot of people find themselves paying the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) without really thinking about it. So here’s the question worth asking: If you’re already paying, what are you getting for it?

More people are turning to simple, everyday ways to feel better, not just when something goes wrong, but as part of staying on top of things. And that’s where alternative therapies come in and where see-u steps up.

Access Gap Cover can reduce or remove out-of-pocket hospital costs. Learn what the gap is, how AGC works, and how asking one simple question could save you thousands.

It’s December. You’re wrapping presents, RSVP-ing to four different Christmas lunches and convincing yourself pavlova counts as a balanced breakfast. Money is flying everywhere - gifts, flights, cocktails, Uber rides - but when it comes to booking a check-up or using the last of your health cover before it resets? Suddenly… silence.
