We've met a lot of families in our time, in fact, nearly half a million families have chosen Bupa Australia. And so we know they come in a range of shapes and sizes, with only one thing in common – how exceptional they are.
It's because of this that we've designed our health cover to suit the needs of Australian families. So whether you're only just thinking about having kids, are still adding to the brood or have finally tucked away the pram forever, we have health cover to suit your family.
Take great care of your kids' pearly whites with our family cover, there are no out-of-pocket expenses10 for dental check-ups, teeth cleaning, fillings, x-rays and more.
Kids grow up fast. But with Bupa, we'll look out for them until they're 25 and cover the cost of most physio and general dental services while they're still dependents on your membership.
Climbing trees, riding bikes, playing in the rain – it's the stuff of dreams for most kids. But when they're active like this, accidents can happen – which is why you'll pay no excess if any one of your kids is admitted to hospital.
When you use Members First providers you'll receive at least 60% of your payment back. Not only does this ensure you get great value, but in most instances you'll also know what your out-of-pocket expenses will be.
Alternatively, our ‘build your own' cover option gives you the ability to tailor a package exactly to your needs. You have the freedom to build a health cover package that's perfect for your family – and your budget.
