    Thanks for the replies! We're still researching, it's going to be so expensive but DH's has just gone up to $400 per quarter.

    DCookie & FL- DH is currently with Australian Unity, so they're very much being considered.

    Hope- We don't need OBGYN, this is our last baby so that's no longer something we need.

    I have so many pages open right now doing comparisons!! DH's next payment is due at the start of June, so I'm hoping to get it all done & organised so we can start the new policy before then!

    We are also with Defence Health. I *think* we pay between $230 and $280 a month for top hospital and top extras. Our excess is $500 payable on admission to hospital (regardless of if it is day case or overnight admission) but the excess is only payable once a year and there is no excess for DD. I am hoping to downgrade our hospital cover after we are finished having babies. I'll always have top extra's as I use physio a lot.
