Members’ Choice
Our Members’ Choice network is one of the largest health provider networks in Australia, covering more services than any other health fund. We’ve negotiated agreements with many healthcare professionals, groups and hospitals to help you save money through discounted rates or capped fees and typically higher benefits.
What does it mean for me?
It’s pretty simple: visit a Members’ Choice provider or hospital and you can reduce your out-of-pockets.
Members’ Choice extras providers
Why should I choose a Members’ Choice extras provider?
You can save money through typically higher benefits as well as the capped fees or discounts we’ve negotiated on your behalf.
Enjoy greater value from our Members’ Choice network
Apart from capped fees, we’ve got some great deals available.
At a Members’ Choice dentist you’ll get a free dental check-up, scale and clean twice a year – valued at over $260 a year for each member.
And through our Members’ Choice optical retail network you can get:
- At least 20% off the normal retail price of frames
- At least 15% off lenses, contact lenses, add-ons and sunglasses
- No out-of-pocket expenses on a select range of prescription glasses for most members (subject to annual limits and sub-limits).
What services do they provide?

- Dentists
- Dental prosthetists
- Optical retail outlets
- Chiropractors
- Physiotherapists

Members’ Choice hospitals
By visiting a Members’ Choice hospital, you’ll get better value for money compared to a non-Members’ Choice private hospital as long as the service you receive is covered by our agreements and is not restricted under your cover.
Will I have out-of-pocket expenses?
Yes, even if you go to a Members’ Choice hospital you’re still likely to have out-of-pocket expenses including any excess on the cover you select and for services provided by your doctors such as your surgeon or anaesthetist. The hospital and doctors treating you should tell you about their costs before you go to hospital – so it’s important to ask.
So you can focus on what’s important – getting better sooner – we recommend that, where possible, you give us a call before you go to hospital. This way we can let you know what benefits will be paid to help you work out what your out-of-pocket expenses are likely to be.
