Could you tell me more about that? I've never heard of corporate cover before!
Speak to your HR department and ask them - they should be aware of all the funds they have an affiliation with .

Where do teachers get cheap health insurance?
Teachers Health
thanks
is it actually cheaper and do you need to be a teacher?
(i have my cover with them - am not a teacher, and looked to change it up and found teachers health to be slightly more expensive as far as i could tell)You don't need to be a teacher to use TH but teachers get cheaper cover through them than what you or I would pay.

What an odd nickname for yourself/your occupation. Is this a commonly known/used term?

It is in Canberra, but not sure about anywhere else?
Just a Canberra thing I think. Gotta have some self awareness and take the mickey if everyone's going to think you're an elitist anyway.
If your organisation is linked to Defence you can access ADF Health Insurance as an affiliate.
Not linked to defence unfortunately!
If you're a member of the union (not sure what it is in Canberra but the PSA in NSW) you can get a deal through them as well.
Can confirm CPSU members can get a discounted rate on some health funds/insurance
Fantastic I'll check it out !
I'm better than a member I'm a delegate! ;)
Will investigate thank you!
Thanks mate!!!
Dont know much about all health insurance options, but My dentist said teachers health insurance is one of the best. I required expensive major dental work (4k implant) . Seems teachers insurance would have covered it best.
Geez, expensive premiums. What quotes have you been given from TH and how do they compare with other quotes with same levels of cover?
It’s not that much cheaper but it all helps, and it’s good to support them (Teachers Health).
It's not cheaper at all unfortunately.
I am a public servant and our we get corporate rates through various Health Funds. I took advantage of Corporate cover and got a better deal through HCF than what I could get without being an employee.
I am pretty sure there is no specific Public Servant health insurance.
