Private Health Insurance Rebates

The NHAA welcomed the announcement that the Australian Government not only accepted recommendations to reinstate private health insurance (PHI) rebates for naturopathy and Western Herbal medicine, but have now changed the legislative rules to allow this to happen. This means that effective 1 July, 2025, private health insurance funds can now once again include naturopathy and Western herbal medicine in their packages. We have created this repository of information to provide clear, timely, and fact-checked updates. We will continue to be your trusted advocate and source of truth during this transition.
