Private Health Fund Rebates for Fitness Services
Staying informed about private health fund rebates that are available for fitness services will allow you to give your clients and members the best opportunity for affordable health and fitness. Rebates are usually in the form of a reward for healthy lifestyle choices and typically range from $50 to $200 per year against gym membership or personal training fees.
- Be guided by your clients - ask your clients which health fund they are with so you can check to see if it they are insured with one of the providers listed below and then make sure you have current information about those funds.
- Ask your clients to find out whether their policy includes a rebate for fitness services (it will depend on the policy they hold, e.g. extras cover, or policies such as living well, health living, or healthy lifestyle).
- Some funds require your business to hold a current Business Registration with Fitness Australia in order for your client/member to be able to make a claim (highlighted below). These funds usually keep in contact with us and use our online Business Directory to check which businesses are registered – so make sure you keep your Business Registration up to date!
- Remember, all funds are different! Some funds may require you to register as a Provider, while others simply need to sight a receipt for services rendered for your client/member to make a claim. In some cases, a GP referral may be required to indicate a health or medical reason for a fitness program to be undertaken.
- Fitness Australia is working towards aligning the national Business and Professional Registration schemes with all Private Health Funds - and therefore your business - so make sure you keep checking our website for updates!
