PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE INCENTIVES ACT 1997

***** Repealed 1 July 2000 *****

PART 2 - THE INCENTIVES SCHEME

Division 2 - Introduction

SECTION 2-1 WHAT THIS PART IS ABOUT

This Part is about how people who are covered by private health insurance policies providing hospital cover, ancillary cover or combined cover can participate in a scheme under which the premiums payable under those policies are reduced.

Note:

The incentives scheme is complemented by the private health insurance tax offset, provided for by Subdivision 61-G of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. People can choose to claim the tax offset instead of having their premiums reduced.
