Why are my premiums increasing?

As a not-for-profit health fund, we only ever increase premiums to manage the rising cost of health care and ensure we can continue to improve the value of your health cover and provide comprehensive and reliable care. Several factors contribute to this increase including rising healthcare costs and increased usage of healthcare services.

We strive to keep costs down by:

  • closely monitoring your cover and looking for savings
  • working with the Australian Health Service Alliance (AHSA) to have more negotiating power with hospitals and doctors
  • working with industry bodies to lobby the Government for changes that make healthcare more affordable for everyone
  • advocating for the Access Gap scheme to reduce out of pocket expenses

We do understand that the cost of living has increased and it can be a tough balance between looking after your health and looking after your budget. If you’re considering whether your cover is still right for you, we are happy to talk you through your options and see if we can save you money. Please call us on 1800 808 690 – we’re here to help.
