Key features of the two Eduhealth options are:
- Underwritten by Bupa a top-rated world-renowned premium provider – access to extensive hospital network, and integrated services like its Blua Health app and dental benefits
- Premiums not linked to postcode – everyone pays a rate based on age and plan choice regardless of location
- No claim penalties – using your cover won’t be personally factored into your annual renewal premium

To help reduce the overall monthly or annual cost of your policy one of options includes personal contributions to some benefits. This allows you to choose a plan that balances cover and affordability, while still maintaining the benefits and protections you need.
The pricing is community-rated, based on the collective claims experience of a large and annually increasing membership group. This approach ensures stability and peace of mind for all members.
