Compare Options - What to Prioritise for Your Family

When comparing combined plans, focus on the mix of everyday allowances and in-hospital limits, waiting periods, and excess choices. Families with young children typically prioritise stronger day-to-day benefits for frequent GP visits and immunisations, while households with older adults may prioritise higher in-hospital limits and broader procedure coverage.
