Why do you need private health cover?

Avoid public hospital wait lists

With private health cover you’ll have access to surgery when you need it

If you have private health insurance, you won’t have to suffer in pain and discomfort on long public hospital wait lists.

Access to telehealth services

Members can now speak to their specialist in the comfort of their home – over the phone or via video call.

Telehealth is about giving people the choice about seeking treatment at their doctor’s office or at their own home.

Affordable access to mental health and ancillary health services

Extras cover, also called ancillary cover, helps cover the cost of services not covered by Medicare such as physiotherapy, dental, optometry and podiatry services.

Many people rely on private health insurance to access services they would otherwise be unable to afford.
