Westfund members remain fully covered at Healthscope hospitals until 4 March 2025. Read more.

What’s the cooling off period?

If you’ve just joined Westfund or changed to a different level of cover, you have a 30 day review period from the date your policy starts. During this period, if you don’t want the cover or want to change it, you can. We’ll either refund your premium or transfer you to a different level of cover. If you choose a higher level of cover, you’ll have to pay the additional premium from the start date of your cover. Any waiting periods associated with the higher level of cover will also apply. This review period does not apply if a claim has been paid during the 30-day cooling off period.
