Coverage depends on your specific policy, and not all plans include inpatient rehabilitation services. If you or a loved one is seeking treatment, we can help you understand your options and find the best path forward.

May reduce out-of-pocket costs for treatment
May cover inpatient or outpatient services
Includes access to mental health and well-being support
Works alongside other funding options
Bupa offers coverage for a range of rehabilitation and mental health services, but the specifics depend on your policy. If you have hospital cover, you may be eligible for medically-assisted detox at our Geelong hospital, or holistic inpatient rehabilitation at our Essendon facility. Extras cover may assist with counselling, outpatient therapy, and well-being programs.
However, not all policies automatically include addiction treatment. Some may require an upgrade, while others may cover certain aspects of rehab but not all costs. To determine what your policy covers, we encourage you to check with Bupa directly — or contact us, and we’ll help guide you through the process.

No — Bupa private health insurance is only accepted at our Geelong facility (Hader Private Hospital). If you're looking to access treatment at our Essendon residential rehab home, we recommend exploring alternative funding options such as superannuation access or a structured payment plan. If you’re unsure which location suits your funding type, our team can help you work it out.
It might. If you've recently taken out or upgraded your Bupa hospital cover to include inpatient rehab, a waiting period may apply — typically two months for psychiatric care or rehabilitation. Contact Bupa directly to confirm whether you’ve served the necessary waiting period, or speak with us and we can guide you through it.
The first step is checking your hospital and extras cover. Some policies include inpatient rehab, while others may offer support for outpatient services or counselling. The best way to confirm your benefits is by contacting Bupa directly or speaking with our team—we can help you navigate your options.
Bupa’s coverage varies between policies, but depending on your plan, you may have access to services such as medically supervised detox programs, inpatient rehabilitation, counselling, and mental health support. Some policies also provide outpatient therapy and psychological services to help with long-term recovery.
If your Bupa plan does not include addiction treatment, you still have options. Many people choose to fund their treatment through self-funding, structured payment plans, or superannuation access. Our team can help you explore these alternatives and find a solution that works for your circumstances.
Some Bupa policies require a GP or psychiatrist referral before they approve claims for inpatient rehab. If you’re unsure whether you need a referral, it’s best to check with Bupa directly or speak with us—we can guide you through the process and help you take the next step.
You don’t have to go through this alone. If you’re unsure about your coverage or need help figuring out your best funding options, reach out to our team. We can answer your questions, walk you through your policy, and provide support as you explore your next steps.
