State ambulance insurance plan

The state ambulance insurance plan provides benefits to contributors who pay fees for ambulance services.

We receive contributions collected under the plan, less commission, from authorised agents.

A contributor under the plan is anyone who is not:

  • a contributor to a health benefits fund,  or
  • someone who is otherwise exempt from paying fees for ambulance services.

The weekly contribution (including the authorised agent's commission) paid for membership to the plan is regulated. Family memberships are calculated at twice the prescribed rate for a single membership.

Authorised agents

The authorised agents as specified in the Health Insurance Levies Act are:

  • Australian Health Management Group Pty Limited
  • Grand United Corporate Health Limited
  • NIB Health Funds Limited
  • Westfund Limited

Authorised agents must lodge a return by the 15th day of the month and pay the appropriate amount.

Calculating the monthly contribution

The following formula is used to calculate the amount payable each month:

A = (S + 2F) x C x D x 1/7 – E

where:

  • A is the amount in dollars to be paid to the Chief Commissioner
  • S is the number of contributors to single membership at the beginning of the month
  • F is the number of contributors to family membership at the beginning of the month
  • C is the prescribed rate in force during the month
  • D is the number of days in the month
  • E is the authorised agent's commission on contributions for the month.

Late payments

Failure to lodge payments on time result in interest payments and, in some cases, a further penalty. We conduct random checks to ensure compliance.
