Private Health Fund 

Following the introduction of the Private Health Insurance (Accreditation) Rules 2008 (reviewed in 2011), massage therapists must be a member of an accredited association in order to gain Approved Provider Status with the individual Private Health Funds.  Massage & Myotherapy Australia has gained accreditation with various health funds which allows our eligible members to be registered automatically as a provider.  Massage & Myotherapy Australia forwards eligible members details to the individual Private Health Funds on a regular basis.
