Take out health insurance with CUA Health and get your first month of cover free.*
With the first month of cover for free*, there's even more reason to take out health insurance with CUA Health.
Why CUA Health
No one will ever be able to give you a guarantee that you’ll never get sick or have an accident. It’s an unfortunate fact of life that sickness and accidents can occur at any time and that sometimes you may require urgent treatment as a result.
Simply by having CUA Health insurance, you can be secure in the knowledge that you’ll have access to health care - whenever you need it.
CUA Health also provides you with:
- Your choice of doctor or specialist in a public or private hospital.
- Cover for extras such as dental, optical, pharmaceutical and physiotherapy.
Insure? Not sure?
The Private Health Insurance Administration Council (PHIAC) has published a booklet that explains the Australian health system in simple terms. Insure? Not Sure? provides information to help you decide how best to meet your health insurance needs.
How to apply to join in a few simple steps
- Compare our products and choose the right combination for you.
- Make sure you read the important information on your chosen product regarding waiting periods, benefits & exclusions etc.
- Get a premium quote or join online. Alternatively you can apply to join in one of our CUA branches.
- We will confirm your application and forward your new policy holder card and letter to you.
Transferring from another Health Insurer
As products vary between insurers we will contact your previous insurer (with your permission) to obtain a clearance certificate. This information is used to determine any lifetime health cover loading, waiting periods or benefit exclusions you may have. Payment of any claims you make may be delayed until we receive your clearance certificate.

To take advantage of the cooling-off period and cancel your policy from the commencement date, you must advise us during the cooling-off period and any premium paid for the policy will be refunded in full, providing a claim has not been made.
