Changes to the Australian Government Rebate on private health insurance
The Australian Government Rebate on private health insurance is designed to help reduce the cost of premiums, and encourage Australians to hold private health cover. This rebate is income tested, and most people claim the rebate as a reduction in the premiums they pay to their health fund. The other way to claim the rebate is as a tax offset when you lodge your annual tax return.
From 1 April 2026, the new rebate percentage will be as follows:
The family income threshold is increased by $1,500 for each MLS dependent child after the first child 2.
