2008 VERSION OF INSURE? NOT SURE?

Australia's health system offers a comprehensive range of public and privately funded health services. You can choose whether to have Medicare cover only or a combination of Medicare and private health insurance.

This booklet explains the Australian health system to you in simple terms. It will help you make decisions about how best to meet your health insurance needs.

Insure? Not sure? has been prepared by the Private Health Insurance Administration Council (PHIAC), an independent, Australian Government body within the health system.
