When you leave the University’s employment, you should contact the University’s health insurance advisers, Health Link Consultants on ph: 03 9670 5555 or toll free 1800 808 026.

Health Link will assist with your transition from “corporate” to “retail” health insurance.  Health Link can also provide you with a free review of your health cover needs to confirm your current cover continues to be appropriate for your needs.

Should I keep the same cover?

You can continue with the same level of cover – however you won’t be able to claim a refund of your excess if you go to hospital.  In these cases you may wish to reduce your excess or remove it altogether.  A Health Link review of your needs will determine which is the best option for you now that you are leaving (or have left) the University.

How do I request a review?

You can request a review of your health cover needs by calling Health Link on ph: 03 9670 5555 or toll free 1800 808 026.  An experienced Health Link consultant will review your current cover and personal situation and provide you with  an alternative policy recommendation and advice and assistance on choosing between:

• A nil hospital excess.
• A lower hospital excess.
• Remaining at the same hospital excess.

A range of HCF payment options are available, such as:

• Monthly / Quarterly / Half Yearly or Yearly by direct debit or credit card.
• Weekly / Fortnightly by direct debit.
• 6 or 12 months by cheque.

This service is free of cost and without obligation… and is available by calling Health Link on ph: 03 9670 5555 or toll free 1800 808 026.
