Helping reduce out-of-pocket costs 

The Australian Health Services Alliance represents a number of small to medium size private health insurance funds. 

Our AHSA agreement provides members with access to a more extensive coverage of medical providers and an improved medical gap scheme. Under this agreement, GMHBA pays higher benefits for most medical procedures when the scheme is used by a participating medical provider, meaning less out of pocket expenses for members.

More value for members

With health services including eye caredental care, physiotherapy and GP/primary care services in Victoria, we are playing an even bigger role in the health of our members and customers.

This allows us to be a real partner to our members on their health journey and join private health insurance products with our health services practices to offer more value for members.

60 Day Money Back Guarantee*

We pride ourselves on providing great value health cover. That’s why all our products are backed by a 60 day money back guarantee. If for any reason your circumstances change and you have not claimed, we will fully refund your membership. *For new members.
