If you’re looking to switch providers or take out health insurance for the first time, Canstar has found a selection of sign-up offers and promotions currently available that could be worth taking into account when narrowing down your choices.

When choosing a health insurance policy — or if you’re choosing whether to take out a policy at all — features and benefits, as well as the cost of your premium and your excess, may all come into consideration.

If you can find the right health insurance policy for your needs, then having a sign-up offer included in it could be a welcome bonus.

Here’s a selection of some current health insurance sign-up offers for hospital and extras cover from providers rated by Canstar (correct as of 4 February, 2025).

Car windscreen replacement cost and repair

By ygozlan,

Key points:

  • Your car’s windscreen plays a vital role in the overall safety of your vehicle.
  • It’s illegal to drive with an impaired view.
  • The repair or replacement of your windscreen should be completed by a trained professional to ensure the work provided and the glass installed complies with Australian safety standards.

When should you repair or replace a damaged windscreen?

It can be tempting to put repairing your car’s windscreen on the backburner, but there are good reasons to fix any windscreen damage—whether it be a small chip or a large crack—as soon as possible.

Fixing your windscreen helps to maintain the integrity of the glass and to keep your view of the road from being obstructed. Cracks also have a tendency to spread and multiply over time, which could end up costing more to repair: this is another reason it’s generally a good idea to get the damage attended to immediately.

There are different laws in each Australian state and territory around how much windscreen damage you can legally drive with. In general though, it’s illegal to drive with an impaired view.

In New South Wales for instance, a bullseye crack on the driver’s side only needs to be more than 16 millimetres in diameter and your car can fail a Safety Check and be unroadworthy.
