We can help you choose a level of cover that suits your stage in life and budget.
Switching is easy
The good news is, when it comes to changing your health insurance to Medibank, making the switch couldn’t be easier.

Change over to Medibank today
- Join us within two months of leaving your current fund and you won’t have to re-serve any waiting periods
- We’ll handle the paper work, including contacting your current health provider
Make the switch
Here’s some important things to keep in mind when you’re making the switch:
- to avoid re-serving any waiting periods, make sure you change over to Medibank within two months of closing your other health insurance policy
- if you haven’t fully served the applicable waiting periods with your former fund, you’ll need to serve the balance with us before you’re eligible for benefits
- if you’re switching to a higher level of cover, you’ll need to serve the waiting periods for any new services before you can start claiming with us
- any loyalty bonus programs you’ve accumulated with your former fund, like increased annual limits for dentures and crowns, can’t be transferred to Medibank
- if you’ve used some or all of your annual benefits with your former fund, we’ll adjust the balance of your benefits accordingly
If you’re not satisfied with your new cover within 30 days of switching and haven’t made a claim with us, we can either transfer you to a more suitable cover or refund your premium in full.
