Medibank doesn't typically issue generic discount codes. Savings instead come from periodic join offers (waived waiting periods, first-month credits), Live Better rewards, Members' Choice provider discounts, and annual payment locking in the old premium rate before April price rises.
Start a new policy quote at medibank.com.au and the current join offer applies automatically to eligible policies. Waived waiting periods and first-month credits appear on the quote page before you confirm — no separate code needed in most cases.
Live Better is Medibank's free rewards program — earn points for exercise, sleep and health check-ins, then redeem them for cashback, gift cards and member offers. Free for eligible Medibank health insurance customers.
Sometimes. Medibank runs join offers that waive the 2-month and 6-month waiting periods on hospital cover. The 12-month pre-existing condition waiting period is legislated and cannot be waived by any insurer.
Members' Choice providers are dentists, optometrists, physios and other practitioners who've agreed to Medibank's higher rebate rates. Using one means higher rebates on extras claims and often zero out-of-pocket on standard treatments.
Yes. Medibank members with eligible extras cover get a no-gap dental check-up, clean and fluoride treatment for dependent children under 13 at Members' Choice dentists.
If you can afford the upfront, yes. Health insurance premiums typically rise on 1 April each year. Paying 12 months of Medibank premiums before the increase locks in the old rate for the next 12 months — a few percent in saved annual cost.
Medibank is Australia's largest private health insurer, covering hospital, extras, travel and life insurance alongside a growing stack of health and wellness services. Insurance isn't a discount-code category by nature — Medibank doesn't issue generic promo codes — but it does offer several dependable ongoing ways to save that stack up over the year. The biggest is the Members' Choice provider network, closely followed by the Live Better rewards program and the annual premium-payment strategy.
For new members, periodic join offers waive the 2-month and 6-month hospital waiting periods, letting you access non-pre-existing hospital treatments sooner. These offers cycle through the year — worth waiting for one before signing up if your health needs aren't urgent. Existing members get the most out of their policy by sticking with Members' Choice providers (higher rebates, often zero out-of-pocket on general treatments), and by using up their annual extras limits before they reset on 1 January.
The smart annual move is paying premiums upfront before 1 April. Health insurance premiums rise every April, and paying 12 months ahead at the old rate locks in several percent of annual savings. Combine that with Live Better points, kids' free dental and the travel insurance member discount and the sticker-price premium comes down meaningfully once you actually use the policy.
Use Members' Choice providers. Higher rebates and often zero out-of-pocket on dental check-ups, optical appointments, physio and chiro when you choose an in-network provider. The My Medibank app has a searchable map.
Pay annually before the April price rise. Locking in 12 months of premiums at the old rate before the 1 April annual increase saves several percent on the year's cost — a genuine discount without any join offer attached.
Claim the kids' free dental. Children under 13 get a no-gap check-up, clean and fluoride at Members' Choice dentists. Worth scheduling every six months to maximise the value.
Earn and redeem Live Better points. Free rewards program that pays out in cashback, gift cards and health offers. Syncs with fitness trackers so points earn passively through everyday activity.
Use up extras limits each year. Annual extras limits reset on 1 January and don't roll over. An end-of-year dental clean, optical visit and physio appointment ensure you actually use the cover you're paying for.
