Want to save on the cost of your premium?
There are a number of government initiatives in place for young people taking out private health insurance.
25 and over
Age-Based Discounts
Age-Based Discounts are designed to make private hospital cover affordable for younger people. A discount on eligible hospital premiums of 2% for each year they are under 30 is applied. The maximum discount is 10%.
30 and over
Lifetime Health Cover
Lifetime Health Cover (LHC) was introduced to encourage younger people to take out hospital cover earlier in life and to maintain that cover. It applies to everyone who takes out hospital cover after July 1 following their 31st birthday.
Time to get your dependant covered?
We've got plenty of great options if you're looking to help your dependant find a cover of their own - you can find some of our recommendations here. And don't forget - when they move to a Westfund cover of their own, we'll help them get sorted with a month free*. Just use code DEPENDANTS when speaking to our team or joining online.
