How healthslips.com.au is different

You’re probably reading this because you need health insurance, or you want to change your current health insurance policy and do it in the most time-efficient and cost-effective way possible. You’ve come to the right place.  

Health insurance comparison websites are a convenient way to find the policy you need, at the best price – but healthslips.com.au is not like the other comparison websites, and here’s why. 

We’re not selling health insurance 

Unlike other health insurance comparison websites, we’re not in the business of selling insurance. This means we’re not going to push any products onto you, nor will we favour certain insurers or policies over others. We provide independent prices and information, without commercial bias, so that you can make the right choice for you.  

“That means people can trust the information and prices we provide,” explains Stephen Treacey, Founder and CEO of healthslips.com.au. “We’re not selling insurance, so we don’t have a skew to a particular insurer or a particular commercial relationship. People like that and they know they can trust us.” 

We compare every insurer 

What you’ll get on healthslips.com.au is a comparison of all insurers and every policy available – with no bias. Other health insurance comparison websites show policies for a limited number of insurers and some websites require you to ask if you want to include all insurers. 

Whether you’re searching for a new policy, or wanting to compare your current policy with other alternatives in the market, when you use healthslips.com.au, you can be confident you’re not missing out on considering and comparing any insurer or policy. We show you the full picture.  

We don’t need your personal details 

healthslips.com.au offers free open access, which means you can use our site without entering any personal details such as your name, email address, phone number or credit card details. That means you can use our health insurance comparison services without any pressure or commitment, knowing we won’t contact you unless you ask us to. 

“Some sites collect your information, and then won’t give you a result without putting your name, email or your phone number in,” says Stephen. “People know that they’re going to receive unsolicited sales calls and marketing emails as a result, and they don’t like that. But we don’t ask for any of those details – our site is available to use for free and anonymously.” 

We guarantee the best price 

You don’t need to shop around for health insurance. By using healthslips.com.au, you can be confident you’re getting all the information you need and that you’re paying the best price based on the inclusions you choose. Whether you’re looking for a new policy, comparing your existing policy, or wanting to calculate factors that affect your price (such as Lifetime Health Cover Loading and the Private Health Insurance Rebate), it’s all at healthslips.com.au. 

“The government regulates Private Health Insurance prices, and insurers are required to have an up-to-date Private Health Information Statement (PHIS) for every policy,” explains Stephen. “We guarantee the cheapest price because we use the price from the latest PHIS.” 

We only compare health insurance 

At healthslips.com.au we’re focused on Private Health Insurance, not other products like travel insurance, pet insurance, utilities or credit cards. With all our attention focused on health insurance, we offer you comprehensive, current and independent information on everything health insurance related. That’s information and a price comparison you can trust. healthslips.com.au is your go-to site to compare and understand health insurance. 

Why we launched another health insurance website.
