How much is your PHI going up by?

Also NIB - but we only have fairly basic cover. Going up by $8.39 per month. I think about the only way we can reduce our cover is by dropping it completely, and we won't be doing that!

Funny that you posted this thread today, TD. I've had the letter sitting there for a few days but only got around to opening it this evening.

ours is going up $4.10 for basic hospital cover for the family- up to $74.00 after the rebate a month

Mine is going up about $4.50/month, but it's only single cover. Total is about $90/month.

I received mine today. I was dreading it. Now i dread it even more. DH says stick with it, but i'm thinking of reducing to "family plus" which pays back only 65% of the extras you pay for, whereas now the top cover pays 75%. I'm going to call them tomorrow.

I have no idea, DH's work pays for it, but I assume if the costs are going up, then that means the value of it will increase as part of DH's salary package so it will increase the amount of FBT we pay?

We're with Teachers Federation Health. Top hospital (Nil excess) & top extras gone from $258.40 to $274 per month after rebate for family cover. Comparing to some of these other funds I guess I have nothing to complain about when it comes to our premiums! We definitely make the most of it though and got our $$ worth with IVF treatment last year (the day surgery costs would have been huge and they covered a lot of the $$$ meds) and with the Private Hospital cover for our upcoming birth. Fund also covered all our antenatal classes (would have been $300) so IMO it's worth it for us and we'll be continuing with it.
