Choosing an extras service provider

You are free to use any registered optometrist, dentist, physiotherapist or podiatrist services in Australia. There’s no need to change your providers when you change to Union Health. For other health care services such as chiropractic, massage, etc, benefits are paid for treatment by registered practitioners in private practice and recognised natural therapists approved by us.

For example, providers of massage, acupuncture and myotherapy services must be active members of the Australian Regional Health Group (ARHG).

We have a network of optical and dental providers who offer discounts or agreed rates for Union Health members for some services.

We have recently introduced physiotherapy and podiatry into our preferred provider network to give all our members better access to great value across a wider range of services.
