Health insurance levy

This applies only if you’re:

• using premises in NSW or
• using the services of an agent in NSW for purposes relating to the enrolment of contributors to a health benefits fund or the payment of benefits.

The benefits are for hospital accommodation, and for surgical, therapeutic or other medical or health treatment, service or procedure in hospitals.

Register and pay

To register for the health insurance levy, you must:

• download and complete a health insurance and state ambulance insurance plan registration form PDF, 656.02 KB and then
• lodge returns and pay the levy on or before the 15th day of each month.

If you do not pay the levy on time, interest and penalty will apply.

Compliance

We conduct audits to ensure compliance with the Health Insurance Levies Act 1982 and the Taxation Administration Act 1996.

After the audit

You will receive a post-audit survey via email after the audit has been completed. The email will contain a ‘Take the Survey’ link. Please provide us with your candid feedback so we can continually improve our audit process and address any issues you experienced during the audit.
