How can I add my new baby to my membership?

You can do it via Online Member Services. Depending on your current membership type, your baby won’t have any waiting periods for hospital treatment (if needed) if you add them soon after their birth.

Here’s what you need to know:


Family or Single Parent

If you already have one or more kids on your membership, you can add another (within 12 months of birth) at no additional cost.

Couple

You can add your new baby (within 12 months of birth) to avoid any waiting periods. Your membership will change from Couple to Family, but this won’t increase your premium.

Single

You can add your new baby (within 2 months of birth) to avoid any waiting periods. Your membership will need to change to either Family or Single Parent, and this will increase your premium. You can get a quote via Online Member Services.
