It’s easy to feel invincible when you’re younger, but did you know that Australia has the highest reported rates of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the world? And that rate rose by 70% in under 25s from 2000 to 2015, according to the Medical Journal of Australia.¹

The ACL is a major ligament within the knee, and is one of the most common reported injuries, especially for more active people who are more likely to be playing sport or engaging in exercise that could injure their ACL.

The scary thing is that the wait times in the public health system can mean you could wait up to 18 months for ACL reconstructive surgery.

So even if you are young, healthy, and active, looking into your options for Private Health Cover, could save you from a long stint on the bench as well as not having to deal with all of the up-front costs of surgery.
