Prime Time with Bec Wilson

Today, I'm getting personal. Turning 50 this year has been a major wake-up call for my health, and a reminder to check the systems I have in place to support me as I age, starting with my health insurance.
In this episode, I chat to renowned GP Dr. Ginni Mansberg about the midlife changes we should all be preparing for, and Lenette Gear from Australian Unity, to explain exactly how our health cover should be working for us in the next phase of life.
