Switch to HBF

On family cover, you, your partner and your kids (no matter how many you have!) are covered. Just remember to add your kids to your policy.

We will cover your kids on your policy until they turn 25, provided they’re not married or in a de-facto relationship and are studying fulltime or earning less than $24,500 per year.

No. Most health funds, including HBF, have a 12-month waiting period for maternity cover. This helps stop people from signing up for health cover, claiming and leaving, which drives up premiums for the health fund’s other members.

HBF is a not-for-profit health fund, which means we’ll always be there for you, not shareholders.
