Want to add a partner or child to your cover?
How do I add someone to my cover?
You can add eligible partners and dependants through the Peoplecare app or Online Member Services.
Simply head to Membership, select People Covered, then choose Add People to Cover and follow the prompts.
Once submitted, your request will be reviewed and processed within 3 working days. You'll receive an update once your request has been processed. Please note that any changes to your policy may affect your premiums and Australian Government Rebate eligibility.

Will waiting periods apply?
When you call us we can give you accurate information about any waiting periods that may apply. The good news is that if your child or partner transfers from another health fund we’ll make sure we recognise any waiting periods they’ve already served if you switch within 30 days!

Do newborn babies need to serve waiting periods?
Newborns don’t need to serve waiting periods if you add them to your cover before they’re 12 months old.
Not convinced?
Your kids and partners get a 30-day cooling-off period. So, if they change their minds about the cover, just let us know within 30 days of joining and you'll get a full refund of any premiums paid (as long as they haven't made any claims in that time).
