Travel and Accommodation Benefit Guide

A hospital emergency sign

State by state

Each state has a government sponsored travel and accommodation assistance scheme. 

This scheme provides assistance to a patient who, because of their locality, must travel long distances to access specialist medical services.

In addition, under certain circumstances, we offer travel and accommodation benefits to members who need to travel more than 200 kilometres from their home to receive inpatient hospital treatment.

Please call us on 1300 703 703 prior to admission.
