Student Dependant Information

Is your dependant still studying?

  • apprentice or trainee and
  • not married or in a de-facto relationship.

How to re-register your student dependant:

Is your dependant no longer studying?

If your dependant is no longer studying, they can remain covered with Teachers Health Fund in one of two ways:

1.     You can upgrade to Extended Family Cover

For an additional cost this cover will allow your dependant to remain on your membership until they turn 25, regardless of whether or not they are studying. To get a quote on Extended Family Cover click here.

Please note: Extended Family Cover does not apply to any dependants that are married or live in a de-facto relationship.

2.     They can take out their own membership to remain covered

If they decide to take out their own membership they will receive the special offer of one month’s free cover if they join within two months of coming off your cover.

The rebate applies to hospital, general treatment and ambulance policies. It does not apply to overseas visitors cover. The rebate levels applicable for 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014 are:
