Pricing is good & rebates are higher than other private health fund. Claiming takes longer to receive in the bank. Nice talking to people who are keen to offer service & attend to your query.

Happy with the service.
My queries were answered without me being confused in any way. I moved from one other provider a number of years and since moving across to Australian Unity have been more than happy with the service.

Ruth was extremely professional and courteous. She demonstrated a wealth of knowledge in answering my questions.
The staff at Australian Unity are great and their customer service is always at a consistently high level.

Reinstate policy
I had AU health insurance policy that was cancelled on the 5th. On the same day, I contacted customer service to reinstate my policy and reimburse my hospital cover, which had been cancelled effective 17 April.
I was advised by the CSR that, due to the short time frame to cancel the hospital cover, the payment of $197.45 would still need to be processed. This amount was debited from my account on 22 April.
At the time, I was considering switching from AU to HCF, but I ultimately decided not to proceed with the change and to continue my cover with AU. I spent over 30 minutes on the phone with the CSR, during which I was assured that my policy had been successfully reinstated and that a confirmation email would be sent to me.
I have not received any email confirmation, and my insurance has still not been reinstated, despite the payment being taken.
I am extremely disappointed with this experience. The information provided by the CSR was unclear and inconsistent, and it appeared that he did not fully understand the process he was advising on. This has caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience.
I request urgent confirmation in writing that my policy has been reinstated, along with clarification of my current coverage status.

Improved wait time
I didn't have to wait nearly as long as my previous time of call Australian Unity. The call was answered quickly and the person was very helpful, knowledgeable and could answer all my questions. He was friendly and polite. In fact I have always found the service to be very friendly and polite there was just an issue with the length of time it took to answer a call.

Worst insurance experience.
Never been able to register for an account and log in to make claims, pay bills etc. Ongoing issue for 3+ months, noone can seem to fix it.
Waiting 1-2 hours on phone every time I call and being transferred to up 5 people to resolve the issue. Customer service is thankfully polite but offers no help.

I am extremely satisfied with the coverage and flexibility of the policy. Claims are easy. Service is professional. I think during the recent insurance price increases Australian Unity was one of the lowest.

Our experience with RUTH was excellent
Our experience with RUTH was excellent. Ruth helped re-instate our membership with AustUnity, which had been wrongly cancelled. A ‘compare’ company offered us a deal but I had to speak to my partner, I cancelled the offer within in 24 hours, and my Aust Unity had already been cancelled. I phoned Aust Unity, spoke to RUTH and everything was sorted.

Great Health cover when considering a change
This is my first year with Australian Unity after being with another major Health Insurance company for nearly 55 years. The reason for change was that Australian Unity gave me the cover I needed at a very reduced premium which was a great savings for me. Highly recommend for Health cover.

Australian Unity… as good as it gets.
We are very fortunate that Australian unity has kept their service centre within Australia as opposed to what many other organisations have done going offshore. This enables the highest level of communications and getting answers to anything is made simple.
