About the Federal Government Rebate (FGR)
The Federal Government 30% Rebate on private health insurance makes it more affordable by reducing your premium when you’re eligible.
How much is the Federal Government 30% Rebate if I take out health insurance?
That depends on your age:
- 30% off your premium if you’re 64 or under
- 35% off your premium if you’re 65–69
- 40% off your premium if you’re 70 or over.
You can claim the 35% or 40% rebates on your entire membership as soon as at least one member fits into either of the relevant age categories.
How do I access the rebate?
If you’re eligible for the rebate there are three ways you can access it.
- Automatic reduction in premiums -just fill in and return the registration form in your application forms booklet inserted in the back of one of our brochures. The rebate will then be automatically deducted from your premium.
