Get 8 Weeks Free when joining eligible working Overseas Visitors Cover

1. The Offer

If you’re an Eligible Customer who maintains an Eligible Bupa Health Insurance Policy and pays by direct debit, you’ll receive from Bupa HI Pty Ltd (ABN 81 000 057 590) (Bupa):

8 weeks free, with the value of your free weeks based on your level of cover when you make a payment. How it works:

  1. Unless you pay yearly, in most cases, your 6 weeks free will be applied 28 days after you join, extending the date you’re “paid to”. The remaining 2 weeks are applied once you’ve held eligible cover for 13 months, extending the date you’re “paid to” on the following billing cycle.
  2. If your weeks free period ends before your next direct debit date, we may take a smaller-than usual payment to make up the difference.
  3. If you join through a Bupa consultant and pay yearly, your first payment will be reduced by the value of 6 weeks. The remaining 2 weeks are applied once you’ve held eligible cover for 13 months. This means your third yearly payment will be reduced by the value of 2 weeks.

You are an Eligible Customer if you:

  1. have not held Bupa health insurance within the last 60 days of your join date;
  2. are transferring from a Bupa Overseas Student Health Cover
