What does my health fund cover?
Not sure what your optical benefits include? You're not alone. We'll help you understand your options, so you can make the most of your 2026 benefits before the December rush.
Health fund benefits vary by fund and level of cover.
Your 60-second health fund check
- Do I have optical benefits on my extras cover?
- Have I used them yet this year?
- Am I due for an eye test?
- Am I leaving it all until December?
Beat the December rush
December can get busy as people rush to use their optical benefits before the year ends. Coming in earlier makes it easier.
Avoid the rush
Come in earlier and give yourself more time to choose.
More appointment choice
Acting earlier may mean more choice of appointment times.
A relaxed eyewear choice
Don't rush your frame and lens decision at the end of the year.
Understand your benefits first
We'll help you understand your options before you decide.
