Queensland Country Health Fund are offering 6 weeks free on new signups.
Going by the Terms and conditionsit appears to apply to the first 6 weeks from signup, without requiring a wait.
For myself, the rates were comparable or better for the same coverage.
They only offer two tiers, Bronze + and Silver + but the Silver + package has Gold coverage (including pregnancy) for many items.
Another bonus is this is available on standalone hospital cover as well as combined. Many of the other X free week offers are exclusive to combined hospital and extras.
