Your 2025 Benefit Updates

Why do Premiums change?

Being a not-for-profit health fund means we’re always looking for ways to keep premiums as low as possible. While this means premiums can sometimes stay the same, there are many factors that contribute to increases in the cost of healthcare.

Changes to co-payments at Health Partners participating podiatrists

We have an agreement with Sportsmed Morphett Value Podiatry to offer favourable pricing to our members. We review this agreement annually, and while we’ve maintained favourable pricing, there will be an increase in fees charged. As a result, we’ve adjusted your co-payments. You can see the new amounts below.

These changes are effective 1 April 2025. The change is automatic, so no action is required. If you would like to discuss your options, please reach out to our Cover Confidence team on (08) 8225 9675.

Benefits apply at Sportsmed Morphett Value until your Podiatry Limit is reached.
