Important changes to Rebate Income Thresholds effective 1 July 2026
The Australian Government rebate helps to make private health insurance more affordable by reducing the amount you need to pay for your health insurance premiums. The rebate is income-tested and applies to both hospital and extras cover.
If you’re single and earning $164,000 or less, or a couple or family earning $328,000, or less, you may be eligible to receive a rebate on your private health insurance.
The Australian Government sets the rebate levels and income thresholds which are reviewed yearly.
- The rebate percentage is adjusted on 1 April each year. Australian Unity will notify members of any changes to premiums due to the rebate percentage changes.
- The income thresholds are usually adjusted on 1 July each year. It is your responsibility to be aware of these changes. If you are affected by rebate income threshold changes, you will need to update your rebate tier via Online Member Services, or by completing a Rebate Application form.
