We know every bit matters
We promised we’d return any COVID-19 savings to members. Medibank members* who hold an active hospital and/or extras policy with Medibank on 30 June 2024 will be eligible for the cash back.
We hope this helps ease the load in the face of rising household costs.
What does this mean for you?
Cash back – Eligible Medibank members holding an active hospital and/or extras policy on 30 June 2024 will be eligible for the cash back. Members will receive their cash back by the end of September 2024.
Medibank members will receive at least $50 through the cash back program, with some receiving up to $360, depending on the level of cover you have. On average it will be around $55 for extras only policies and around $165 for hospital and extras policies.
You don’t need to do anything. If we have your bank details the funds will be transferred to the same bank account we pay your claims to.
Need to update your bank details to have your cash back deposited straight into your bank account?
Log into My Medibank to update your bank account details. My Medibank now comes with the added protection of multi factor authentication, so you can do this securely.
Our cash give back and previous pauses on premium increases will take our COVID-19 customer give back support package to a record $1.37 billion.
