Why join Navy Health?
At Navy Health, we take pride in protecting those who protect us, their families and everyone who plays a part in making that happen.
Our real strength comes from our size. It’s easy to get lost as a member of a health fund that looks after hundreds of thousands of people. Because we’re smaller, we’re more nimble and more personalised. We can pay closer attention to our members in the way they want.
Whether that’s looking after their private health insurance with minimal involvement or caring for a member’s changing situation throughout their life, our local team of experts take the stress out of dealing with health insurance.
We are a not-for-profit health insurance fund, so our profits don’t end up with shareholders. Rather, we use them to benefit our members by minimising premium increases and offering great value products and services.

Navy Health named as one of Australia’s top ten cheapest funds!
News Corp recent investigation has compared the price of every Australian health fund policy in the country and found that Navy Health was consistently in the top ten cheapest for Gold policies. Part of the reason is we don’t have to generate profits for shareholders or overseas investors, so we can give back more in benefits.
At Navy Health, profits are used to benefit members by minimising premium increases and offering great value products and services. Click the button below to learn more.

Do you need Hospital cover or Extras cover?
Private Health Insurance comes in two forms: Hospital Cover, for when you need to be admitted into hospital, and Extras Cover, for your everyday health care services to maintain your health and wellbeing such as dental, optical, chiropractic and physiotherapy.
Navy Health’s Hospital cover allows you to receive treatment as a private patient in a private hospital, avoiding lengthy public health system wait lists, and the option to choose your own specialist. You can choose from three levels of cover: Gold, Silver+ and Bronze+.
Extras cover allows you to claim back some of the costs of health care services and treatments such as Dental and Optical, that are not covered by Medicare, reducing your out-of-pocket expenses. View and compare our three levels of cover.
