Dr Margaret Faux is a nurse-turned-lawyer with a PhD on Medicare claiming and compliance – Australia’s leading expert on how the system really works.

She’s spent decades navigating the frontline and legal battlegrounds of healthcare, processed millions of medical bills and is driven by one core belief: every Australian deserves fair, affordable access to care. Medicare and private health insurance were designed to serve you, not confuse you – and nothing enrages her more than seeing people miss out because of red tape, billing scams, or misinformation.

If you’ve been overcharged, misled,
or just want to make Medicare work better for you,
you’re in the right place.
