Manage cover
Look after yourself
Tax time can be confusing enough without having to worry about the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS). That’s where Health Partners comes in.
If you’re single and earn over $90,000 (or $180,000 for families and couples), our private hospital cover could reduce your income taxes by avoiding the MLS.
To make things simple, we’ve broken it down for you. The surcharge starts at 1% of your income for MLS purposes, rising as your income increases. So, take a look at the table below to see if health cover is right for you.
Singles | Under $90,000 | $90,001 – $105,000 | $105,001 – $140,000 | $140,001+ |
Families | Under $180,000 | $180,001 – $210,000 | $210,001 – $280,000 | $280,001+ |
Surcharge | 0% | 1% | 1.25% | 1.5% |

* Single parents and couples (including de facto couples) are subject to family tiers. For families with children, the thresholds are increased by $1,500 for each child after the first.
