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.
Hospital Cover
Navy Health’s Hospital cover allows you to receive treatment as a private patient in both public and private hospitals, avoid lengthy public wait lists, and the option to choose your specialist. View and compare our three levels of cover.
Extras Cover
Navy Health’s 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.
