Free 1 month after 1st premium.
I opted for fortnightly and recieved my free month a few days later.
You dont have to be a teacher, just affiliated in some way if you know what i mean.
Also compared to bupa (bronze plus+top extras),my premium went down by $50/month with teachers health (Silver plus + highest extras)

Im neither. They dont check or verify.
Im a teacher and last time I checked they were still more expensive than my HCF corporate plan via RAA. Frustrating really. Even the police and defence PHI aren't great.
Edit - quick comparison - $338 cheaper than HCf but can't work out if that's due to the one month free. Also, don't see anything about under 25s, unlimited emergency ambulance, 100% coverage on day admissions and networks etc. Might not be a big deal for some but if you're going in for endoscopy etc fairly regularly, you want 0 gap.
Terms and conditions:
"…One month free health cover applies after the first premium payment has been received. Two and six month waiting periods are waived on Extras services only. Enter the promo code 'ONE' when joining online."

Unfortunately, being a "doctor of love" is not a recognised teaching profession that qualifies for Teachers health insurance."
Oh well, I tried.
