• Families and individuals who pay private health insurance premiums may be eligible for Australian Government rebates.

  Your costs may be reduced if you have a health insurance policy with an Australian registered health insurer that provides the following cover:
  - Hospital
  - General and extras, or
  - Both
  

  The rebate reduces the amount you pay for private health insurance. The rebate amount you get is based on the age of the oldest person covered by the policy and by annual earnings.

  You must be covered by the policy and be eligible for Medicare to receive the rebate. For more information, you can go to https://www.humanservices.gov.au

• Application to receive the Australian Government Rebate on Private Health Insurance as a reduced premium

  Important Information
