 Health insurance explained

You can start using your cover as soon as you’ve finished serving the waiting period applicable to the treatment or service you intend to receive. Before you make an appointment, we recommend you do the following:

  1. Research HBF Member Plus providers. We have agreements in place with providers across Australia, so choosing an HBF Member Plus provider can help you reduce any out-of-pocket costs that may apply.
  2. Get a benefit quote. This will tell you exactly how much HBF will cover, and any out-of-pocket costs you’ll have to pay. Call us on 133 423 (or call +61 8 9265 6111 if overseas), or for extras services such as dental and physiotherapy, get an instant extras benefit quote in myHBF.

HBF provides health insurance products in Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Queensland and Northern Territory.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters where we live and work. We want to play our part in ensuring that our shared presence brings genuine benefit to First Nations people. View our Reconciliation Action Plan to learn more.
