We’re excited to announce the launch of Bupa Beginnings, a free and interactive guide to the Australian health system when having a baby.

Bupa Beginnings helps prospective and new parents understand their healthcare options, and make an informed choice. From hospital costs to birthing options, things are explained in clear terms – and if you’re a Bupa member you can even get an estimate of out of pocket expenses, depending on the type of care chosen.

This easy-to-use online tool can provide your clients with clear and helpful information on their health and care options and costs, from the moment they start planning a baby, through pregnancy and childbirth, and into the early months of their child’s life.

Migration Alliance is pleased to sponsor Flu Shots for our members via our exclusive health services partner, Bupa.

Bookings are now available for your on-site flu vaccination.
