MIA Sponsor: Medibank Private
Grow your business
Expand your client services
As an MIA member you can register as a Limited Agent of Medibank and earn commissions on the new business that you introduce to Medibank through Visitors Health Insurance and Working Visa Health Insurance.
Most international visitors to Australia do not have access to Medicare. So they rely on private health insurance to help cover their hospital and medical expenses while in Australia.
Holding private health insurance is a mandatory condition of many visa subclasses and Medibank’s partnership with the MIA is a great opportunity to grow your business.
With many different products to suit all immigration and visiting scenarios and with our free training and support, we can help you to ensure that you recommend the right product to the right person.
An online Limited Agent portal has been built and this gives Limited Agents registered with Medibank the ability to quickly and simply submit a clients application, with a cover confirmation letter produced on the spot.
Give your clients peace of mind, knowing they’ve made the smart move to be covered by one of Australia’s largest private health funds.

Medibank Working Visa Health Insurance - for Subclass 457 Visa Applicants
As a valued MIA member we want to ensure that you have the most current information about Medibank’s products. We’re happy to inform you that our Working Visa Health Insurance covers comply with the minimum requirements for subclass 457 visa applicants.
In respect of working visa health insurance for subclass 457 visa applicants, the following applies:
- Holders of subclass visa 457, rather than employers, will be responsible for their own health care costs
- Private health insurance is a mandatory condition for subclass 457 visa holders and their dependants for the duration of their visa
- Proof of “adequate” health insurance needs to be arranged, in the form of a letter from the insurer and will be required prior to the visa being issued
- The health insurance arranged must meet certain minimum standards.
Note: The above will not apply in respect of subclass visa 457 holders who were granted their visas prior to 14 September 2009.
Medibank has a range of covers that satisfy the requirements for applicants of a subclass 457 visa. Plus, we’ll endeavour to ensure you’ll receive the “proof of appropriate insurance” letter within 48 hours of your client joining.
Medibank Working Visa Health Insurance covers are only available to people who are in Australia on certain working-type visas approved by Medibank.
This includes the following visa sub classes:
Visa Sub Class | Visa Type
- 411 | Exchange
- 419 | Visiting Academic
- 420 | Entertainment
- 422 | Medical Practitioner
- 442 | Occupational Trainee
- 456 | Business Short Stay
- 457 | Temporary Business Long Stay
- 470 | Professional Development
The table below provides the applicable premiums for Medibank covers, which meet the requirements for a subclass 457 visa applicant.
