Budget Direct Health Insurance No Longer Available
As of March 2020, Budget Direct is no longer offering a health insurance product. All members have been automatically moved to Frank and GMHBA Health Insurance. This means you will continue enjoying your discounted Smile.com.au fees as these health funds are also Smile.com.au partners.
Continue your dental care with Frank or GMHBA
Many Budget Direct members have been moved to Frank Health Insurance. Frank is a Smile.com.au partner, so you continue to receive the same 15% discount automatically when you present your Frank card.
Other Budget Direct members have been moved to GMHBA Health Insurance. GMHBA is also a Smile.com.au partner, providing you with the same 15% discount automatically when you present your GMHBA card.
Nothing Changes for Your Dental Care
Whether you're now with Frank or GMHBA, you'll continue to receive the same great dental care at Central Brisbane Dental with automatic 15% Smile discounts. Simply present your new health insurance card at your appointment.
The history and legacy of Budget Direct in dental care

The name says it all. With Budget Direct Health Insurance, they sold health insurance at budget prices directly to the consumer. Well known for their award-winning car insurance, they applied the same principles to all types of insurance including health insurance. Budget Direct Health Insurance strived to provide health coverage with outstanding value in a market flooded with expensive options offering the minimum back to their members.
Budget Direct Health Insurance promised to deliver the same successful product they had with their car insurance to the health insurance market, focusing on providing excellent value and straightforward coverage.
Budget Direct Health Insurance had especially negotiated a deal with Smile.com.au for their members with dental cover. This allowed their members to receive dental treatment at discounted prices simply by presenting their health insurance card at participating dental practices such as Central Brisbane Dental. Members received a minimum of 15 percent discount off all dental treatments, plus the maximum health fund rebate through HICAPS claiming.
