Health insurance will become more expensive in NSW than any other state under the Minns Government’s health tax, which will hit families with a new $156 bill from next year.
During a cost-of-living crisis, NSW residents should not be expected to pay more for their health insurance.
This tax will cause at least 75,000 people to drop their health cover in NSW next year, forcing more people to rely on overwhelmed public hospitals across NSW. This will increase pressure on emergency departments and blow out waiting lists for surgery by about 7%. NSW already has the longest waiting lists for surgery in Australia.

Dear Karen McKeown
As one of 41,545 people in Penrith with private health insurance, I am very concerned about the Minns Government’s new health tax that will cost NSW families an extra $156 per year from 2025.
People with health insurance are not rich and we are contributing to the cost of our own healthcare. 65% of people with health cover earn under $90,000 a year. We cannot afford to take another financial hit.
This tax will cause at least 75,000 people to drop their health cover in NSW next year, forcing more people to rely on overwhelmed public hospitals across NSW. This will increase pressure on emergency departments and blow out waiting lists for surgery by about 7%. Our public hospitals have the longest waiting times for elective surgery in Australia and our emergency departments are at breaking point.
I look forward to hearing from you about how you plan to help the people of Penrith impacted by the NSW Government’s new health tax.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
