Finder Members can earn rewards for referring a friend once they qualify for their reward!
Become a Finder MemberStep 1. Create a free Finder account and run a quote
Create a Finder account, then use the comparison tool to get a health insurance quote while logged in. This is how Finder tracks your reward, so make sure the name and email you use matches exactly what you'll enter with Medibank.
Step 2. Click through to Medibank via the Finder promotional banner
Find an eligible combined Hospital & Extras policy and click through using the Finder promotional banner, not directly to Medibank's site. This is what links your purchase to the reward.
Step 3. Stack your reward on Medibank's site
Complete your application on Medibank's site using the same name and email as your Finder account. Enter promo code 12WEEKSPLUS at this point to unlock the Medibank Live Better bonus (up to 12 weeks free + up to $300 in gift cards).
Step 4. Start your policy before 30 June 2026 and keep it active
Your cover must commence within the promotion period. Don't cancel, downgrade or miss a payment before 30 October 2026. This is when we run its eligibility check and issue your $300 digital Visa card.
When you sign up to Medibank, you'll get more than just a sign-up discount. You'll also get access to a range of additional health services that you can use as part of your membership.
Here are some of the partner discounts that you can claim as a Medibank member. These offers do change from time to time. We try to keep this list up to date, but if an offer is important to you, check the Medibank partner offers page to make sure that they're still current.
Medibank members can get 15% discounts off subscriptions at Goodlife and Fitness First.
If you have Medibank health insurance, you can get 15% off travel insurance.
If you're looking for pet insurance as well, you can get money off your premiums with Medibank.
Sunglass Hut provides 15% off selected sunnies if you have Medibank health insurance.
Medibank extras policy holders can enjoy exclusive savings and benefits when getting prescription glasses at OPSM or Specsavers.
The current Medibank promo code is 12WEEKSPLUS, which gives new members up to 12 weeks free on eligible combined hospital and extras cover. The code is valid until 30 June 2026 and must be entered during the sign-up process.
Medibank doesn't offer traditional coupon codes, but they do run sign-up promo codes for new members. The current code is 12WEEKSPLUS for up to 12 weeks free. Joining through Finder with this code also unlocks a $300 digital gift card exclusive to Finder Rewards members.
To get the offer, you must join Medibank with an eligible hospital and extras cover through the Finder comparison service during the specified promotion period.
No, Medibank sign-up offers typically only waive the 2 and 6-month waiting periods for extras cover. The 12-month waiting period for pre-existing conditions and pregnancy-related services remains mandatory under Australian government regulations and cannot be waived by promotional deals.
You must hold your eligible cover for 42 consecutive days from the policy start date to receive the initial 6 weeks free. Once this period is reached, the discount is usually applied to your next billing cycle, provided your premium payments are up to date.
No, you are generally not eligible for sign-up offers if you have held a Medibank or ahm health cover policy in the 60 days prior to joining. Most promotions are strictly for new members, though dependents coming off a parent's policy may sometimes be eligible.
You must join the Live Better rewards program and track an eligible health activity in the My Medibank app within 42 days of your cover start date. Once the activity is recorded, your points will be credited to your account and can be redeemed for gift cards from partners like Apple, adidas and THE ICONIC.
You will likely forfeit the second instalment of free weeks if you downgrade to an ineligible policy or cancel your cover before the 15-month mark. Most Medibank promotions require you to maintain the same level of eligible hospital and extras cover to receive the subsequent 6 weeks of free cover in the second year.
Yes, you must typically enter a specific promo code such as 12WEEKSPLUS or EXTRA8WEEKS during the application process to qualify for the deal. This code is often provided directly on the Finder comparison table or the Medibank offer page.

Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
How likely would you be to recommend Finder to a friend or colleague?
Our goal is to create the best possible product, and your thoughts, ideas and suggestions play a major role in helping us identify opportunities to improve.
