Our Education Community

Our ties to the education community are important to us. We appreciate that teaching is a demanding profession and value the contribution teachers make to the broader community.

That’s why we are committed to supporting teachers by regularly attending schools, events and conferences, so that you can access our services when it is convenient for you. Find out more about our dedicated Business Development Team and meet your state’s representative below.

As part of our corporate and social responsibility program, we also support a range of local and national community events. By following the links below, you can find out more about this program and our commitment to reducing our organisation’s impact on the environment.

How rebate tiers workX

Most Australians with private health insurance currently receive a rebate from the Australian Government to help cover the cost of their premiums. The private health insurance rebate is income tested. The table below details the different rebate amounts and Medicare Levy Surcharge levels.

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:
