How to cancel Hostplus

Preferred method: Member Online

Using Member Online is the fastest and most efficient way to cancel insurance or membership. It lets you submit requests and view confirmation electronically.

Other accepted methods

• By phone - call Hostplus member services to request cancellation and confirm any next steps.
• By post or email - send a signed cancellation request or completed form to Hostplus at their postal address or official contact email.
• App purchases - there are no separate cancellation procedures for App Store, Google Play or web-specific purchases; Hostplus may suspend or terminate app access at any time. See Hostplus app terms: Hostplus App Terms of Use.

What happens when you cancel

Access and account status

Once your cancellation is processed, your insurance cover will stop from the effective date provided by Hostplus. Access to some online services may be restricted or removed.

Renewals and ongoing charges

Automatic renewals and ongoing premiums will cease for the cancelled cover. Verify any final charges and effective cancellation date with Hostplus to avoid unexpected debits.

Data and record retention

Hostplus will retain member records as required by law. You can request confirmation of record retention or copies of your account statements before cancellation is final.

Will I get a refund?

Cooling-off rights

A 14-day cooling-off period applies only to certain plan types such as the Hostplus Personal Super Plan. You can cancel within that period if the account does not meet your needs.

Exceptions and general refunds

• The cooling-off period starts from the earlier of receiving confirmation of membership or five days after your application is accepted (for applicable plans).
• There is no general right to a 14-day refund for in-app purchases or other services; refunds appear limited to the specific cooling-off terms of eligible plans.
• For disputed refunds or complex cases, contact Hostplus member services for assessment of any eligible reimbursements.
