We will send your tax statement information directly to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). We will not be sending you a tax statement.
This is due to changes made by the Australian Government to make health insurance simpler. The changes made on 1 July 2019 mean you no longer need your tax statement to submit your tax return if you’re lodging it online or through a registered tax agent.
We will send your tax statement information directly to the ATO by 15 July. Your tax return will not show this information until after this date. If you wish to lodge your tax statement prior to 15 July, you will need to manually enter your private health information.
If you’d like a copy of your tax statement for your records, from 1 July you’ll be able to download it by logging into myHBF or request it by calling us on 133 423.

If you believe the pre-filled health insurance information is incorrect or if you submit a paper tax return, from 1 July you’ll be able to download a copy of your tax statement by logging into myHBF or request it by calling us on 133 423.
To update your rebate tier, log into myHBF and in the ‘My Details' menu click on ‘My rebate details’. Alternatively, call us or visit your local branch and we will be able to help you out.
