HBF Premium Changes

Naturally, no one likes to see an increase in their premium but we’re happy to say that this year our average increase is the lowest of any major Australian health insurer.

As WA’s leading health fund and a not-for-profit organisation, our priority is to keep members’ premiums as low as possible. And with no shareholders to worry about, the only reason we raise premiums is to pay increased benefits to our members.

During the last financial year, HBF helped our members pay for over 166,000 hospital visits. In all we paid out $775 million in member benefits - that’s an increase of over 10% on the previous year. On any one day, over 1,400 HBF members will be in a hospital bed paid for by HBF and many more members will visit a dentist, chiropractor, optician or other health professional.
