Why is the Medicare Levy so high?
Medicare has helped Australians access healthcare for almost 40 years. It’s designed to make sure that all Australians can access the care they need, regardless of their financial situation.

But such a big system takes a lot of money to maintain. Forward estimates for 2025–26 predict the Government will spend more than $43 billion on Medicare and the private health insurance rebate. Not to mention that Australia’s healthcare costs definitely aren’t getting any cheaper.

The Medicare Levy funds some of those running costs. It helps the government bring in the necessary tax revenue for Medicare while ensuring they have enough left over to spend on transport, welfare, and other necessities.

If your policy has more extras than a deluxe pizza 🍕 — you’re not alone.
Paying for cover you don’t really need can push up your insurance cost.
It’s worth checking:
✔️ How you actually use your car
✔️ What features you really need
Bonus tip: some insurers may offer a lower overall cost if you pay annually instead of monthly.

Top tips for saving more on your car insurance

Change where you park your car
A simple switch from parking in the street to in the garage could mean a reduction in your premium, as well as keeping your car better protected from the elements. Cleaning the junk out of the garage so you can park your car in there might be more worthwhile than you thought.

Pick a policy that lines up with your odometer
If you only use your car to go to the shops and work, you mightn’t be travelling all that far each year. This could mean you can opt for a policy that factors in your fewer kilometres in exchange for a cheaper premium.

Ditch the optional extras if they aren't up your alley
Extra chips or an extra shot of coffee can be great. But sometimes you don’t want to pay for extras, and that’s okay. Before you buy a policy, take a look at the product disclosure statement (PDS) and see if any extras, like roadside assistance or windscreen repair, can be dropped. Doing so could mean paying a lower premium

Switch from paying monthly to annually
Opting for a lump-sum annual payment rather than monthly instalments could be a simple way to trim down your premium. It could also mean you skip some of the processing fees.

Dolphins sleep with one eye open… maybe you should too 👀 Don’t let MLS sneak up on you!

How can I avoid the Medicare Levy Surcharge?

You don’t need to pay the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) if you’re a single person with an annual taxable income of less than $101,000, or you’re a couple or family with a combined taxable income of less than $202,000.

If your family’s income is a little above $202,000 and you have more than one dependent child, you might also have an out. The minimum family threshold to pay the surcharge increases by $1,500 for each MLS dependent child after the first. For example, if you have two MLS dependent children, your threshold increases to $205,000. If your income is below these thresholds, you’re exempt from the surcharge.

But even if you earn more above these thresholds, you can avoid paying the MLS by making sure you have an appropriate level of hospital cover for the entire financial year. For singles, that means your policy needs to have an excess of $750 or less. For couples or families, you need an excess of $1,500 or less. It’s important to remember, though, that if you only hold extras cover, you’ll still need to pay the MLS.

Want to know what’s really using energy in your home? ⚡️👀
Tools like smart plugs, appliance apps and smart meters can give a clearer view of when different devices are drawing power — and how usage changes throughout the day.
It won’t give exact answers, but seeing those patterns can help build awareness around everyday energy habits and where small changes might be possible.
Sometimes, it’s just about having better visibility 🔍

How can energy monitoring apps help?
Energy monitoring apps are very helpful when it comes to efficient energy management. Here’s a breakdown of how these apps can work wonders for you.

Get real-time insights?
An intuitive energy monitoring system operates in real-time, efficiently collecting and assessing data. This means you can effortlessly keep tabs on your electricity usage from the comfort of your couch. The beauty lies in identifying unnecessary energy consumption, paving the way for enhanced energy efficiency.

Spot abnormalities and take immediate action
With the power of real-time energy data, energy monitoring apps become your vigilant watchdogs. Imagine spotting anomalies like unnecessary heating or lighting thanks to quick real-time alerts, preventing wastage of both money and energy.

Measure results and form new strategies
Your energy monitoring app helps you establish your baseline usage, and having this data readily available empowers you to make informed, data-driven decisions.

In essence, energy monitoring apps aren’t just about tracking usage; they’re strategic tools that empower you to be more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious. They’re your eyes and ears in energy consumption, helping you stay in control and ahead of the game!

Ever heard of the “loyalty tax”? 👀
Sticking with the same insurer year after year could sometimes mean missing out on more competitive offers elsewhere.
That doesn’t always mean your current policy isn’t right for you — but it might be worth checking what else is out there. A quick compare could help you see if your cover and price still stack up for your needs.
Worth a look before your next renewal hits 📩

How can I get cheap car insurance?

We get it. Everyone’s trying to save as much as they can on household expenses like car insurance. So why wouldn’t you want to scope out a cheap car insurance policy?

If you’re looking to score a cheaper premium, you could try a car insurance comparison tool like the one we offer to help compare a range of policies and providers.

But here’s something important to consider – taking out a policy that isn’t necessarily the cheapest but offers more value for money might help you hold on to your hard-earned moolah in the long run.

If you don’t have the appropriate level of cover and have an accident, you could be hundreds or thousands of dollars out of pocket if you want to repair or replace your car. Comprehensive cover, though pricier, could do either depending on the conditions outlined in the product disclosure statement.

In fact, there are several ways to save on car insurance costs, from increasing your excess to choosing a pay-as-you-drive policy.

3 hours of free power… but are you even home to use it? ⏰⚡
Some deals sound great upfront, but timing (and rates outside those hours) can make a difference.

How to find a good deal on electricity
Finding a good electricity plan is like finding the perfect phone—it’s all about comparing options to see what fits your lifestyle. While iPhone and Android might let you easily compare specs side-by-side, electricity plans require a little more digging.
Here’s a quick guide to help you figure out which plan might be the perfect match for you.
- Understand your energy usage
- Check supply charges
- Use the reference price as a guide
- Compare usage rates
- Review the contract terms
- Look for discounts and incentives

Ever felt like your car insurance just… crept up? 😬
Pricing often comes down to risk — things like where you park, how much you drive, and your car’s safety features.
Small changes (like garaging your car or reducing kilometres) can help make you look like a lower risk to insurers.
It all adds up.

As always, be sure to update your policy whenever you make changes that affect your car, as they could also affect the price of your premium.

For example, if you were moving house and your new neighbourhood had a lower rate of car accidents, thefts or vandalism, your premium could reduce.

Of course it doesn’t always work this way, but letting your insurer know about any changes will help ensure your policy remains valid, and that you’re maximising your chance to get the best premium possible for your budget and lifestyle.

When it comes to car insurance, a lot can change year to year
Your needs, your car — even what’s available from various insurers.
Comparing policies from time to time can help you understand what cover options are out there and whether your current policy still feels good for you. It’s not about assuming one option is better — it’s about staying informed.
Tools like iselect.com.au let you view a range of policies in one place, so you can make a more confident call before renewal season rolls around

How do I compare car insuranve quotes onlione?
Comparing car insurance can feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack. It can be exhausting to try and sort through all the providers, plans, and perks to find the one you want.

That’s why a great choice for comparing policies online could be a car insurance comparison tool like iSelect’s.

You just need to add a few details, and voilà! You can compare policies from a range of providers laid out side by side with features like costs, excesses, and coverage limits – all minus the hassle of jumping between multiple insurer websites. And the best part is, it will cost you the same as it would to buy a policy directly from the insurer.

Just remember to keep your car’s details on hand, such as the make and model, year of manufacture, accident history (if any), where it’s usually parked, and what you intend using it for (private, business, ridesharing, or similar). And always read the product disclosure statement (PDS) before you decide to buy.

Do people actually keep those energy rating stickers… or peel them straight off? 👀
We hit the streets to find out — and turns out, not everyone knows what they actually mean. Those stars can give you a rough idea of how much energy an appliance might use compared to others of the same size/type ⭐️
While it doesn’t guarantee what you’ll pay on your bill, choosing more energy‑efficient options and keeping an eye on your usage could make a difference over time.
If you haven’t checked your appliances (or your plan) in a while… might be worth a look 🔍

How do I save money on my energy bill?
