Pinto and Williams join a new panel focusing on health insurance and the consumer
Over 45% of Australians now have private health insurance, rising from 31% in 1999, but the reasons for taking out policies, and the level of those policies, varies substantially and is linked to the Medicare levy surcharge. It leaves health insurers with a big job to change consumer’s approach to their health coverage.
GSK Consumer Healthcare area communications manager for ANZ, Brooke Howard, has also been confirmed to speak on the headline panel about trust in health and how to talk over the misinformation.
She rounds out the group that will include Healthdirect’s Andrew Bryant, WPP Health and Wellness planning director David Bailey and Genea head of brand marketing, Nicole Papoutsis. The panel will be moderated by CEO of White Space Concepts and former ECD of Ursa Clemenger, Denis Mamo.
