We’re giving back over $7 million to members
We’re giving back over $7 million to members through Extras premium refunds, to acknowledge the challenges of using some Extras services due to recent COVID-19 restrictions.
As a not-for-profit, member-owned fund, we’re committed to giving back claims savings we made due to COVID-19 restrictions.
We understand it has been challenging this year to access certain Extras services… that’s why we’re refunding a portion of your Extras premiums. This is part of our overall COVID-19 member support package which totals almost $32 million.
How do I find out if I’m eligible?
We have written to eligible members about their refund, so check your email to find out your refund amount and details. To be eligible, you must have held Extras cover since before 1 January 2021 and have not participated in our COVID-19 financial assistance program.
You’ll receive your refund in the bank account we pay your claim benefits to. The refund will begin processing by 3 December 2021 with the reference ‘CBHS COVID Refund’.

More for you.
We’re giving back to members through these Extras premium refunds, as part of our Belong to More philosophy. More care. More value. More support.
“As a member-owned, not-for-profit health fund, CBHS is living by our member-first philosophy. This Extras premium refund − worth $7 million − brings our total COVID-19 support for members to $32 million and realises our commitment to return claims savings made due to the pandemic. We want our members to know that they truly do Belong to More with CBHS”, said CBHS Group Chief Executive Officer, Helen Troup.
“We are pleased to be able to provide support, both on a health and financial front, during what has undoubtedly been a challenging two years for our members. More than 1,500 member families accessed our COVID-19 premium relief measures. Meanwhile, our health programs like hospital-quality services delivered in the comfort of home and free access to digital skin checks for members helped make it possible for members to stay safe and healthy during the heights of COVID-19. We’re now looking forward to continuing to care for members as we navigate the return of a ‘new normal’.”
The health and happiness of our member community is at the heart of everything we do, and we appreciate that times have been tough. We’re here for you if you need support.
