Switch health insurance in 3 easy steps
When you switch to an equivalent or lower Australian Unity cover within 30 days of leaving your old health insurer, they’ll recognise the waiting periods you’ve already served. Even if you haven’t completed a waiting period, they’ll apply any time already served towards your new cover.
If you increase your cover when you join Australian Unity, you’ll have to serve a waiting period before you can access the higher benefit.
All you need to do is
1. Choose your new cover from Australian Unity.
2. Sign up online or over the phone—make sure to tell us you’re switching.
3. That’s it! We’ll organise the rest.
