Help with health cover for 457 visa

[Guest Kat+Rocco]

i'm in the middle of completing my 457 online application and need to sort out health cover......i've priced up cover through Mutual community (HBA) which comes in at $169.95 a month for a basic (Classic) family cover. Do i need full family cover for the purpose of the visa of just for me??

 

Does anyone know any other companies i could get cover from so i can compare costs?

 

Thanks kelly

We used IMAN they were $ 135 a month ( not sure if they've put their prices up since then)
