How does it work?
Insurance companies are realising they’d rather have fit and healthy people for clients. So they are giving discounts on their insurance premiums AND other ‘health’ benefits like gym memberships to encourage their clients to get active.
To obtain the discount on the above gym memberships you need to have insurance with a particular insurance company.
It can be either private health insurance or the life insurance you likely already have inside your superannuation.
Who does this work for?
People who prioritise their physical health, while also wanting to make the most of your financial future.
1. You’re currently a member OR would like to be a member of the gyms mentioned above.
AND
2. You’re interested in reviewing either your Private Health Insurance OR the Insurance you have inside Superannuation.

What is an ‘Insurance Review’?
Insurance reviews are all about making sure that your insurance:
- Is competitively priced
- Has the appropriate amount of cover (not too much/not too little)
- Has the appropriate cover for your life stage
- Will actually pay out when you want to use it
Private Health Insurance:
The Private Health Insurance Ombudsman recommends reviewing your policy at least once a year.
Premiums go up every year, so you need to keep insurance companies honest; make sure you have the best deal on the market.
If you don’t have private health insurance, there are Tax incentives, ‘Lifetime health cover loading’ for people over the age of 30, and other points to consider: FAQs here: https://www.privatehealth.gov.au/faq/
Insurance inside Superannuation:
We all have superannuation, and most have ‘default cover’ of around $300,000 of life and tpd, and pay for it via Superannuation.
A recent CHOICE survey found that, 4 OUT OF 5 people have never analysed the type and amount of insurance that suites their circumstances: https://www.moneymanagement.com.au/news/liferisk/default-insurance-missing-mark-choice
You could be OVER insured if:
- You have multiple Super funds, with multiple default cover
- You don’t have kids, or don’t feel like you need life insurance
- You’ve met your retirement goals and have investments to support your financial commitments
You could be UNDER insured if:
- You can’t survive without your income – (your default cover won’t be enough!)
- You have substantial amounts of debt (mortgage, car loans, personal loans, credit cards etc)
- You have children and would like them to be supported in the event you become ill/injured/pass away
*These are just potential reasons you could be over/under insured, a full ‘insurance needs analysis’ is recommended as there may be factors you haven’t considered when deciding how much insurance you need.
