The Mildura District Hospital Fund, or Mildura Health Fund, offers basic and comprehensive hospital cover at 435 hospitals Australia-wide. If you're able to be treated at the Mildura Health Private Hospital, you'll be able to receive no-gap treatment and high levels of cover for a wide range of health services.
The Mildura Health Fund (MHF), also known as the Mildura District Health Fund, is a not-for-profit regional fund which has been operating since 1929. They serve 34,000 members and offer no gap medical benefits to anyone who is treated at the Mildura Health Private Hospital.
Last year, the government introduced four new tiers of health care: Basic, Bronze, Silver and Gold. This system is designed to standardise what is offered in each tier, so customers can be more sure of what they're getting with basic requirements laid down. Consumers should have access to greater choice and more flexibility on what they're looking for.
Mildura Health Fund offers a discount to young people aged 18-29 to encourage them to take out cover early and maintain it. It's a 10% discount for anyone aged 18-25 who takes out their Five Star Gold hospital cover, with the discount reducing by 2% for each year older than 25 you are.
So long as you remain on eligible hospital cover, you will retain whatever discount you were initially given until you are 41 years old. At that point, your discount will reduce by 2% per year until it reaches zero.
There are a few benefits that Mildura Health Fund offers to its members. These include:

My son needs a quote for health insurance. Basic cover for doc and private hospital. Has existing ailment. Payment by direct debit fortnightly. Also, quote for family cover with the above conditions. But he has the existing condition.
Hi Jenny,
Thank you for your comment.
If you’re referring to getting a quote from Mildura, Finder does not currently have access to this health insurance brand so you may need to visit their website directly to get a quote.
Regarding family health insurance with hospital cover, you can fill out our family health insurance form and click “Search Policies” to compare policies with these covers.
Please make sure to read the eligibility criteria, features, and details of the policy, as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statement PDS/T&C’s of the policy before making a decision and consider whether the product is right for you. If necessary, speak to the insurance brand to verify any details.

Do I need to live in the Mildura area to be covered by MDHF?
Hi Frank,
Thank you for your question.
You have contacted finder.com.au, a comparison and information service and not actually Mildura Health Fund. Mildura Health Fund is not currently one of the brands in our panel of health insurers so you will need to contact them directly.
While anyone is free to join Mildura, you may need to fill out certain forms in person.
Cheers,

what hospitals in victoria
does mildura health provide cover for
werner
Hi Werner,
Thanks for your question. finder.com.au is a financial comparison service and not an insurer. Mildura Health has extensive nationwide hospital agreements and its own private hospital.
I hope this was helpful,
Richard
