The importance of Extras Cover
Extras cover is an important part of Australia's healthcare system, providing coverage for various out-of-hospital health services not typically included in Medicare. It's designed to complement the public healthcare system, helping cover the cost for services such as dental care, optical, physio and a range of other services.
Keep in mind that extras cover generally doesn't cover the full cost of most services. Most policies contribute a percentage of the full cost up to annual limits for each service category. But even partial coverage can make a big difference over time.

If you're switching from another fund, your previously served waiting periods transfer with you. This means you won't have to re-serve waiting periods for equivalent services. Find out more information on waiting periods.
