What is the mental health waiver?

The mental health waiver means you can access the treatment you need, when you need it, without having to wait.

A member who has held a policy with Hospital cover for at least two months and upgrades to a policy which includes Hospital Psychiatric Services can waive the 2 month Waiting Period that applies to this treatment. This waiver can only be accessed once in a member's lifetime.
