The Australian healthcare system comprises public
and private healthcare. Almost 70% of spending is funded by the government, and
around 30% is funded by private insurers or consumers as out-of-pocket
expenditure. Three schemes are funded by the Australian government: Medicare, a
pharmaceutical benefits scheme, and a private health insurance rebate scheme.
Medicare provides either free or subsidized benefits for medical, diagnostic
and allied health services.
The Australian personal accident and health
insurance segment grew at a review-period (2009−2013) compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth was mainly supported by a rise in healthcare
expenditure and government measures to develop private healthcare insurance.
Healthcare in Australia is regulated by three
bodies: the Private Health Insurance Administration Council (PHIAC), the
Department of Health Ageing (DoHA) and the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman
(PHIO). The PHIAC regulates private health insurers in terms of prudence and
lawfulness. The DoHA is responsible for industry policy and maintaining quality
healthcare services, while the PHIO acts as a mediator between consumers and
health fund members, private hospitals and medical practitioners should
disputes arise.
