Ready to join HIF health insurance? Applying for cover is easy! If you'd like to join online now, the online application process takes approximately 5-10 minutes and we'll do all the associated paperwork for you, including applying for the Australian Federal Government Rebate on Private Health Insurance on your behalf. If you're switching to HIF health insurance from another health fund, we can also contact your old fund on your behalf and request that your policy is cancelled from the date you choose to commence cover with HIF.
It's easy! Simply visit our Online Member Centre, click "Forgotten your password" and follow the on screen instructions. You'll then receive an automatic email which contains a link to input a new password.
If you've recently become an Australian permanent resident, congratulations! You're now eligible for full Medicare benefits (so you may want to change your overseas policy to a domestic policy). Please note though, that you must take out a domestic policy within 12 months of your permanent residency being granted in order to avoid Lifetime Health Cover Loading (LHC). To find out more, visit 'Does the Medicare Levy Surcharge affect Overseas Visitors?'.
