Hello
I'm looking into getting private health insurance cover. I've never had health insurance before so it's kind of overwhelming. I know all the things I need to be covered for to have gender affirmation surgery but I was wondering if anyone here has had any good or bad experiences with Australian health insurance providers regarding covering trans-related health stuff.
I live in Sydney so I though this might be a good place to ask, sorry if it's not, I'm still figuring out my way around this site. ^-^
Thanks

Thanks Serenation, I actually discovered that thread a couple of days ago :) it was very helpful. I signed up for Medibank top hospital cover, they were the most affordable from the ones I looked at and it's good to hear you had no issues with them.
