Covered Comprehensive Hospital Cover is the highest level of cover provided by Australian Unity and provides 100% cover for hospital accommodation and an extensive range of services in contracted hospitals. Comprehensive Hospital Cover provides you and your family with total peace of mind. You know that you’ll be covered when you need it most so you’ll have nothing to worry about except getting better.

You can lower your health insurance premium by choosing to pay an excess, just as you do with car insurance. Choose from no excess, $250 or $500 excess. The excess is only applied twice per calendar year no matter how many times you go to hospital. If you do not have any admissions to hospital, you will not pay the excess.
