What is Medibank at Home?
When it comes to care, whether it is recovery or treatment, we believe that every person deserves to feel supported and have greater choice and flexibility.

Hear from our members
Hear from three Medibank members who have participated in our Rehab at Home program and Chemo at Home trial.
Liam's Chemo at Home story
Cancer treatment can be emotional, scary and exhausting. For 21-year-old Liam, having chemotherapy at home has made all the difference as it gives him back a sense of control he felt the cancer had taken away from him.
Nicole's Rehab at Home story
Most of Nicole's athletic career was injury-free, until two partial knee replacements at the age of 49. Nicole was faced with incredible uncertainty in her physical mobility and her resilient mindset was going to be more important than ever before.
Ken's Rehab at Home story
Ken had a left knee total joint replacement. When the time came for a right knee replacement, Ken, with the support of his treating doctor, had the choice to do his post-surgery rehab in the hospital, or at home.*
