Family Hospital cover

Top Hospital Gold covers pregnancy and birth, and assisted reproductive services. It also covers things a growing family might need like hospital treatment for tonsils and adenoids.

Top Hospital includes big ticket items such as heart procedures with no exclusions or restrictions. Plus, there's no excess for any kids on your cover if they’re under 32. 

See Hospital cover options

Family Extras cover

With Top Extras you'll receive higher benefits for services your family may use the most, like dental, optical and physio. 

Your limit for major dental will also go up the first six years you have Top Extras cover, and you can use the orthodontia benefit in one hit with Top Extras, instead of spreading your lifetime limit over different years.

How long can a child stay on our insurance policy?

We’ve extended the age limit of eligible dependants from 25 years to 32 years, so dependants can stay on family cover for longer!

Dependants aged 21+ can now be on your family membership until they turn 32, provided they aren’t married or in a de-facto relationship.

Your dependant can stay on your family membership at no extra cost to you if they’re studying full-time. If they’re not studying and aged 21-31, Extended Family Cover is an option.
