WA hospital premiums are a fair bit lower than the national average. Premiums are standardised by state though, so you'll pay the same whether you live in Perth, Pemberton or Port Hedland. The table below lists the average monthly premiums for hospital policies from each of the 4 coverage tiers with a $750 excess. The prices are for a single person earning less than $93,000 a year living in Perth. The numbers are updated monthly.
| Basic | Bronze | Silver | Gold | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WA | $70.68 | $84.22 | $133.15 | $206.5 |
| Australia | $85.82 | $100.45 | $153.27 | $243.17 |
54.4% of West Australians have hospital cover, while 69.1% have extras cover. That makes WA residents the most covered in the country, by a pretty decent margin. See the table below for more details. These numbers come from APRA's quarterly health insurance statistics in August 2023.
| Hospital Cover | Extras cover | |
|---|---|---|
| WA | 54.4% | 69.1% |
| Australia | 45.1% | 55.0% |
