Families and individuals who are eligible for Medicare and pay private health insurance contributions on an appropriate hospital or extras cover may be eligible for the Australian Government Rebate on Private Health Insurance. The rebate can help to reduce your contributions. The level of rebate that you're entitled to claim is based on the age of the oldest person covered by the policy and by your family’s annual earnings. These are set out in tiers. Income thresholds effective from 1 April 2019 to 30 June 2021 ![Income-threshold-table-Feb2020](//images.ctfassets.net/aztp2jwbm1kp/4hcj5q8mg79xvR3UMuiwLP/69281f2d9ff722a84a8791ed9224ced3/Income_threshold_table_condensed_FOR_WEB_ONLY.jpg) Note: Single parents and couples (including de facto couples) are subject to the family tiers. For families with children, the thresholds are increased by $1,500 for each child after the first.
You can receive the rebate as a reduction on your GU Health contributions or as a tax rebate when lodging your tax return; that is unless an arrangement specific to your corporate health plan has already been set up by your employer.
