Private health insurance

Private health insurance

1 June 2019

Private health insurance (PHI) includes:

  • general treatment policies for ancillary treatments, such as dental care and physiotherapy; and
  • hospital policies to cover in-hospital treatments when treated as a private patient.

As at December 2018, 44.6% of the population had hospital cover and 53.9% had general treatment cover. There were approximately 27,281 PHI products available for new policy holders in January 2017. Some products have exclusions or restrictions, which means particular services are not covered by those policies.

Acknowledgement of Country

AHHA acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and work. We acknowledge the significance of our Australian indigenous heritage; and that our indigenous peoples never ceded their lands or their culture. We reflect on the remarkable understanding that is generously shared by indigenous peoples; particularly framing health and wellbeing in a deeply holistic way that both encompasses people and place.
