Membership fees at Osana:
- We aim to keep our annual fees as affordable as possible. As a social enterprise, we don’t seek to be profitable, but we need to be viable and recover our costs – delivering our service costs over $1000 per member per year. We are committed to membership fees that are less than what you would pay in a year, for private-billing medical centres, or health insurance, or for joining a gym.
- We are currently welcoming new members at our Woollahra clinic, but numbers are limited because we provide slow medicine – spending more time with less members to keep them healthy. For our foundation members who joined our service in our first year at an introductory offer, we look forward to continuing to care for you and your family.
- Currently we don’t anticipate any changes to our membership fees, and we continue to provide the Osana service below cost (funded by social investment from the community). Over time, we will seek Government and health insurance assistance to ensure we provide a sustainable service.
- We believe our fees represent value for money because normally you would be out-of-pocket hundreds if not thousands of dollars each year, for a quality medical service with long appointments. Other medical services don’t provide access to other health professionals such as a Health Assistant, don’t have classes and wellness programs, and don’t focus as much on preventative care as we do.
- Given we deliver better health outcomes for our members, over the long term you save money on health care bills, stay out of hospital more and live a healthier, happier life. We can offer monthly or quarterly direct debit if that’s easier for you. Let us know how we can support you – we don’t want financial barriers preventing anyone from accessing quality health care, so would be keen to understand your individual situation.
