Can I get a health insurance policy just for my child?
Yes, you can. With HBF, you can get health cover for just your child. To find out more, please contact us.

Dependent children can stay covered on a parent or guardian’s policy until the day before they turn 31 so long as they aren’t married or in a de-facto relationship.

Can I purchase maternity cover with no waiting period?
No. HBF, like most health funds, have a 12-month waiting period for pregnancy and birth. Waiting periods help to discourage people from signing up for health cover, claiming and leaving soon after, which drives premiums up for all other members of the health fund.
