Unless there is something really special I wouldn't worry about that. If you are getting a junk policy to avoid Medicare Levy Surcharge, it is exactly what it is. Junk. Chop and change like getting 4 weeks free and QFF, Flybuys points. No mercy!
Most of the fund websites have a dedicated information page for switching. Read that page on your potential new funds website with a fine tooth comb.
