Which Health Insurance for over 70's
 
Parents are migrating to Oz from the UK on a 804 visa (Aged parent)
They are covered by Medicare but also looking at private health insurance.
Any recomendations ?

If they sign up during the first year, to any insurance company, they will not have to pay any penalty and be considered in their 30's. If they leave it beyond a year there will be a heavy weighting for their age.

Any of the main insurers will do....their age will not matter.

Some companies may require a waiting time for pre-existing conditions.
