Part One Of iSelect Review
Part Two Of iSelect Review
In this post, I am going to review the health insurance comparison features of iSelect. I had written a post on this very same topic a year ago but things have changed a lot since then. And so I decided to revisit the health insurance options from iSelect and write a new detailed review about this topic.
 |
Choosing the right health insurance cover is never easy - there are way too many options and too many insurers. And once we decide on one, keeping up and making the best use of everything we are covered for is never easy. |
iSelect really does an excellent job of comparing the various benefits, options, features and recommends a few that best suits your needs and requirements. Since my last year’s visit to this site, the comparison tool has been improved even further.

It is almost time for me to wind down for the day. I had a good productive day today - actually I have been having a few of those for the past couple of months. Lately my focus has been laser sharp and I am working down my to do list. The year though did not start out like this. I had a pretty dull start to the year, very static and hardly moving forward in my internet marketing business. Just one of those ‘blaaaah’ few days - no progress at all - motivation was totally missing.
 |
I just got complacent with where I was and was not taking much action to get to the next level. After a few months of total lack of action, I realised that I had to get myself out of this ’slow phase’. |

Last year, I wrote a post about iSelect, a new service that lets you compare health insurance - it’s not new anymore and a lot has changed on what’s on offer from iSelect.com.au - So it’s time to do a detailed review of what’s on offer. This is a three part review and here are the links to the other two:

What iSelect does is, takes in all your requirements and provides you with a couple or more quotes from insurers who can offer what you are after.
In the process, you will end up with the best insurance for your needs (best in terms of quality and price). |

Opes Prime Collapsed in 2008, leaving behind financial heartache for many. In July 2009, a settlement was reached in the law suit against Opes Prime’s bankers, ANZ and Merrill Lynch. The creditors agreed to settle for $253 million. The creditors accepted the settlement, because the alternative of taking the banks to the court was a very lengthy process plus there was also a lot of uncertainty.

Last night in my mail box (snail mail not email), I received a glossy invitation to a real estate seminar - a seminar that promised to make me one wealthy woman. The seminar was going to be held in the conference room of a classy hotel. The product that they were promoting was endorsed by a well known celebrity. So all good news, right - I should book my seat and run to this seminar - and btw another bonus was that the seminar was totally free.

This is one of such seminars. Most of us would have received such invitations. Here is my suggestion on how to deal with such invites: |

In September 2007 big changes were made to Superannuation tax laws as a result of which self managed super funds (DIY Super Funds) can now borrow to invest in property. Up until then there was a complete ban on super funds borrowing to invest in shares and property. So these changes are quite significant and will have a positive impact on self managed super funds.
As with almost anything super, implementing this borrowing is not straightforward and you will definitely need to seek the help of a professional.
In this post, I will take you through some of the main points that you should be aware of (regarding this): |

You can access your superannuation funds only after you reach your preservation age. But under some specific circumstances, you can get access to your super fund, before you reach your preservation age. These special circumstances are called Conditions Of Release.
