Proposed changes to the Private Health Insurance Rebate
The Federal Government has proposed changes to how the Private Health Insurance Rebate is applied, meaning the higher rebate tiers currently available to Australians aged 65 and over will be removed from April 1, 2027.
As Tasmania’s leading not-for-profit health and wellness organisation, St Lukes is strongly opposed to these changes. We believe they will significantly reduce government support for older Tasmanians who rely on private health insurance to access timely care.
