How to pick the right junior plan for your child

Choosing the best affordable-comprehensive-health-cover-for-kids depends on age, anticipated routine care, and your comfort with out-of-pocket excesses. Below are practical steps and example decision points to simplify selection.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Assess routine needs: Count expected GP visits, dental appointments and eyewear changes per year.
• Consider risk exposure: For active children involved in sports or high-risk activities, stronger hospital protection reduces the chance of large bills.
• Compare combined versus separate plans: A combined junior plan may offer convenience; separate day-to-day plus hospital can suit families wanting specific benefit levels.

Provider access and practical steps

Use the Find a Provider tool to identify nearby clinicians and private hospitals in the network before you apply: Find a Provider. For hospital locations, check the hospital provider list to see in-hospital access for planned procedures: Find a Hospital Provider.

Common inclusions and exclusions

• Included: GP consultations within day-to-day limits, basic dental and optometry benefits where specified, in-hospital treatment for approved conditions.
• Not included: Routine coverage beyond stated day-to-day limits and any services listed as exclusions in the plan document.
