Private health insurance premiums in Australia will increase by 4.41% from April, affecting 15 million Australians. Families with average-priced gold hospital policies will pay approximately $330 extra per year, while individuals face an increase of about $167. The federal government approved the rise to reflect rising costs of medical and hospital services, though some policies could increase by up to 12% depending on the insurer.
