Who is Territory Health Fund?
Territory Health Fund is health insurance designed for people living in the Northern Territory. Formerly the Mount Isa Mines Employees Health Society and now operated by Queensland Country Health Fund, THF has been providing value for money health cover to more than 23,000 families across the Top End for over 40 years.
Unlike many other health funds, they allow you to choose your own health care providers without affecting the benefits paid and they have a strong track record of value for members, having increased benefits and added new ones every year over the last 7 years and kept premium increases below the industry average for the past decade.
Vital Hospital cover (Bronze Plus). Great value mid-level cover, ideal if you are young or a healthy person who doesn't want to pay for hospital services you're less likely to need.
Extras cover
Young Extras. A standalone product that can be bought separately by those wanting basic cover for general dental, optical, physio and a small range of other therapies.
Select Extras. Ideal for singles, couples and families with young children who only want cover for the most popular services, including general and major dental, optical, physio, chiro and podiatry.
Essential Extras. Includes benefits for a comprehensive range of services including dental, optical, physio and chiro, covering all the therapies in Premium Extras with lower benefit amounts.
Premium Extras.Top extras cover providing benefits for a comprehensive range of therapies including dental, optical, physio and chiro, with higher benefit amounts than Essential Extras and generous annual limits.
THF offers Better Hospital Silver Plus cover as their highest level of protection, and Vital Hospital Bronze Plus cover as their mid-level hospital policy.
Young people discount
Thanks to government reforms to private health insurance, introduced on the 1st of April 2019, younger people can now get a discount if they have hospital cover. Insurers are able to offer premium discounts of 2% per year if you are under 30 when you first purchase insurance. All of Territory Health Fund's hospital or hospital and extras packages provide this young person discount.
Member offers
THF rewards their customers' loyalty with a number of member offers to sweeten the deal.
Once you've held cover under either Essential or Premium Extras for a year, THF automatically increase your overall annual claim limits for dental services (excluding orthodontics) and their full range of therapies by $50 per year for five years, and then honour this for the life of your policy.
Reduce any out-of-pocket expenses by checking if your specialist will participate in our Access Gap Scheme. You can search for doctors who have participated in the scheme on the THF website.
Receive discounts from Optical Premier Providers including OPSM, Laubman and Pank, Specsavers, Clearly.com.au and certain NT locations of The Optical Superstore.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands 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. You can learn more about how we make money.
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 note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
