I'm over 31 and make enough to get hit with the Medicare levy surcharge. I don't really want private health insurance but is there something I can get to cut down on how much I'd get stung for the surcharge every financial year?

I was in the same boat at your age. The government has a health insurance comparer for a bunch of situations. Just go the barest of bones insurance and sort by cheapest. Ignore the meerkat one and other copycats when you search for it

I'll see if I can find something cheaper than my monthly repayments for my last tax bill. The repayments will add up if I don't do anything as I can stretched it out to go over 24 months
