What you can get with our Extras cover

Total Extras and Classic Extras offer the same full range of services, including preventative Wellness Benefits to help you stay healthy. What sets them apart is how much you can claim each year. Essential Extras is a great entry-level cover with affordable dental, physio and optical benefits.
