Finding their way through a
plethora of health insurance products has just become a lot easier
for Australians, with the launch by the Office of the Private
Health Insurance Ombudsman of a new website. The online service
enables consumers to make a comparison between some of the 22,000

“The key to better outcomes
in private health insurance for consumers and insurers is greater
awareness and better access to information,” said Gavel in the
statement.
