Many diseases and conditions can develop in the background with little or no symptoms and regular check-ups can help to identify these.

If you need help with your mental health you might qualify for one of our mental health Better Living programs. These programs are free for members with an appropriate level of Hospital or packaged cover. Members with Prestige cover can also access Mental Health Navigator, which offers confidential support from the comfort of your own home. After a virtual meeting with a mental health nurse you’re referred to a psychiatrist and/or clinical psychologist for a detailed assessment via video link. The nurse guides you to follow-up treatment and supports you for six months. Read more about our Better Living Programs.
