The answers above this page

Who is covered

The premium changes with the household; the same policy appears once per scale. Monthly premiums are before the Australian Government rebate and any Lifetime Health Cover loading, as the insurer published them.

292 policies

The excess, waiting periods and what is restricted differ: open the policy before comparing on price alone. Pregnancy, psychiatric and joint replacements most often decide a tier choice; the full list of 38 categories is on each policy's page.

Questions for a single in Northern Territory, answered from the same release

The cheapest of the 292 after the government rebate

$73.36 a month, the published premium for HCF's HCF HOSPITAL STANDARD SILVER PLUS, less the share the government pays, by the age of the oldest person on the policy and the household's income tier (PrivateHealth.gov.au, 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027). Any Lifetime Health Cover loading is added on top; the chips above apply the same arithmetic to every row.

Important information

General information only. Not advice.

  • Every premium on these pages is the figure the insurer publishes to the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman's PrivateHealth.gov.au data, release dated 01-Oct-2026, shown per month before the Australian Government rebate and before any Lifetime Health Cover loading. What you pay depends on your income tier, your age when you first took hospital cover, your state and the excess you choose. It can be lower or higher than the figure shown.
  • OpenStream does not consider your health, your circumstances or your needs. A cheaper policy may exclude a service you will need; waiting periods, excesses, co-payments, hospital agreements and age-based discounts differ by policy. Read the insurer's Private Health Information Statement (PHIS) before deciding; every policy here links to the regulator's record.
  • OpenStream is not a registered health insurer, does not sell insurance and does not arrange cover. Links to insurers go to the insurer's own website. We receive no payment from any health insurer at the date shown; if that changes, it will be stated on this page and on the methodology page, and it will never change the order policies appear in, which is by published premium alone.
  • Private health insurance is not a financial product under section 765A(1)(c) of the Corporations Act 2001, so this comparison is not a financial service and OpenStream does not hold an Australian financial services licence. If you want personal advice, speak to the insurer or a licensed adviser.
