Rebates, answered
Which services can I claim?
Remedial massage and sports massage. Relaxation massage, Pilates and coaching are generally not covered by extras.
How much will I get back?
It depends on your fund and level of cover — typically $20 to $40 per session, up to your annual limit. Check your fund's app under remedial massage.
How do I actually claim?
I give you an itemised receipt on the day and you claim through your fund's app or website. Most funds pay within a few days.
Do annual limits reset?
Most funds reset on 1 January; some on 1 July or on your policy anniversary. Unused limits don't roll over, so use them before they reset.
Is a mobile massage treated differently?
No — the rebate is for the service, not the location. A remedial massage at home is claimed exactly like one in a clinic.
