 Health insurance explained

HBF Overseas Visitors Health Cover (OVHC) can only be used while you are in Australia and does not extend to international travel, meaning any medical or hospital treatment outside Australia is not covered. If you leave the country during your visa period, you’ll need separate travel insurance to cover healthcare overseas.

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