Queensland hospital premiums are slightly higher than the national average. Premiums are standardised by state though, so you'll pay the same in Brisbane, Bundaberg or Bowen. Below are average monthly hospital premiums by tier for a single person earning less than $97,000 a year with a $750 excess. The numbers are based on the government databased in September 2024.
41% of Queenslanders have hospital cover, while 48% have extras cover. That's slightly less than the national averages. See the table below for more details. These numbers come from APRA's quarterly health insurance statistics in June 2024.
Hospital Cover | Extras cover | |
---|---|---|
QLD | 41.0% | 48.0% |
Australia | 44.8% | 54.5% |
