1 Scope of this Agreement
2 Fees, GST, invoicing and payment
-
2.1 Fees
-
Subject to clause 2.1(c), the Customer will pay Bupa Wellness the Fees for the Bupa Services in accordance with the Bupa Quote and Schedule 1.
-
If the parties agree to extend the Bupa Quote beyond the initial 12-month period (or any subsequent 12-month period), the parties agree to an adjustment of the Fees for the Bupa Services, commencing from the start date of the new 12-month period. The adjustment will be the greater of:
-
the percentage change equivalent to the relative variation in the Australian All Groups Consumer Price Index for Eight Capital Cities issued by the Australian Statistician in the quarter immediately preceding the end of the relevant 12-month period; and
-
the change required to align the pricing for the Bupa Services as set out in the Bupa Quote to the then-current pricing for the same or equivalent Bupa Services.
-
If the Bupa Quote is funded from Workplace Wellness Funding Credits, no payment for the Fees is required unless there are insufficient Workplace Wellness Funding Credits to fund the Bupa Services, in which case the Customer is liable to pay the balance of the Fees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
-
2.2 GST
-
The consideration specified in this Agreement does not include any amount for GST. If a supply under this Agreement is subject to GST, the recipient must pay to the supplier an additional amount equal to the fees payable multiplied by the applicable GST rate. The additional amount is payable at the same time as the consideration for the supply is payable or is to be provided. However, the additional amount need not be paid until the supplier gives the recipient a Tax Invoice.
-
If the additional amount differs from the amount of GST payable by the supplier, the parties must adjust the additional amount.
-
2.3 Reimbursement
If a party is entitled to be reimbursed or indemnified under this Agreement, the amount to be reimbursed or indemnified does not include any amount for GST for which the party is entitled to an input tax credit.
-
2.4 Invoices
-
Subject to clauses 2.4(b) and 3.5, Bupa Wellness will invoice the Customer monthly for all Bupa Services performed under this Agreement.
-
If any Bupa Services are intended to be delivered within one month, Bupa Wellness will invoice the Customer upon the completion of those Bupa Services.
-
Where the Customer pays Bupa Wellness’s invoice after the due date specified on the invoice, the Customer will incur a late payment fee (one fee per overdue invoice) equal to the lesser of 5% of the invoice value or AUD$1,000 to cover administration, cashflow management and processing costs.

-
Bupa Wellness may subcontract the performance of any or all of its obligations under this Agreement and remains responsible for the performance of any of its obligations delivered by its subcontractors.

Schedule 3 – Flu Vaccination Reimbursement Terms of Use
Except as otherwise agreed between the parties, the following terms apply if Bupa Wellness has agreed to provide the Customer with flu vaccination reimbursement services. The Customer will comply with, and will ensure its employees who use such services are aware of and comply with, the following terms of use.
-
Key Terms
The Customer and each employee who submits a flu vaccination reimbursement request (recipient) agree that:
-
The recipient will be provided with a URL to submit their reimbursement request.
-
To submit a reimbursement request, the recipient must receive a flu vaccination at an authorised and accredited GP, medical centre or pharmacy and provide name, email, bank details (account name, BSB, Account Number), vaccination receipt and proof of vaccination via the URL provided. If the recipient does not provide all information required, their claim should not be approved by the Customer.
-
Flu vaccination reimbursement services are to be used by recipient of the Customer only and cannot be transferred to other friends or family members outside of the Customer’s organisation.
-
All recipients must be 16 years or over to use this flu vaccination reimbursement service.
-
The bank account used by the recipient for the reimbursement request must be held in the recipient’s name.
-
The Customer will be provided with a URL to approve the recipient’s reimbursement request.
-
The Customer must ensure that recipients:
-
only submit one claim each through the URL provided for the reimbursement request;
-
do not email or call the flu vaccination reimbursement service provider to submit their reimbursement request;
-
receive the flu vaccination in Australia and pay for the flu vaccination in Australian dollars;
-
submit an invoice containing only the flu vaccination service, and no other goods or services to be included in or itemised on the invoice;
-
provide a legible and clear invoice and vaccination certificate to assist with assessing the reimbursement request; and
-
not use the reimbursement system to make false, misleading or fraudulent claims, or claims not for a flu vaccination.
-
The Customer must not make any promises to recipients that recipients will receive reimbursement for their claim, except where the Customer has approved the recipient’s claim.
-
The Customer must not make any promises to recipients that recipients will receive their reimbursement within a particular time period.
-
Bupa Wellness and the Customer may agree to cap the claim amount in the flu reimbursement service provider’s system to ensure recipients do not submit claims above that cap.
-
Reimbursements must be approved by the Customer after verifying the following details (please note that this list not an exhaustive list and the Customer is encouraged to implement appropriate, adequate and operationally effective controls to ensure their approval process is robust):
-
Employee details;
-
Vaccination receipt;
-
Proof of vaccine; and
-
Approved reimbursement log (to ensure no duplication or fraudulent claims).
-
Once approved by the Customer, the flu reimbursement service provider will reimburse approved claims and pay directly to the BSB and Account Number provided by the recipient making the claim. Reimbursements will only be made in Australian Dollars to Australian bank accounts. Please note that Bupa Wellness and the flu reimbursement service provider will not take steps to check for duplicate or fraudulent reimbursements, and this is the responsibility of the Customer to conduct these checks.
-
If a recipient provides incorrect banking information that leads to a payment “going missing” or not being received by the recipient, the full cost of the reimbursement and administration fee will still be charged to the Customer.
-
If an employee provides incorrect banking information that leads to a payment being returned to the flu reimbursement service provider by the bank, the Customer will be charged the administration fee for processing the payment (noting that the flu reimbursement service provider is charged a bank fee for rejected payments). The recipient making the claim must make a 2nd claim with the correct banking information. The Customer will incur an additional administration fee in these circumstances.
-
Bupa Wellness will invoice the Customer for all approved claims during the period of time stated in the invoice for the total amount reimbursed to the recipients plus the admin fee per approved claim.
-
Recipient details entered on the reimbursement request form may be provided to Bupa Wellness. Personal health information provided in the pre-screening form or discussed with the GP or pharmacist will not be disclosed to any third party.
-
The Customer is financially responsible for approving claims from recipients. If the Customer incorrectly approves a claim for a recipient (for any amount), the Customer is solely liable and must pay the flu reimbursement service provider for that claim (reimbursement and administration fee). The flu reimbursement service provider will rely on the approval and will pay the reimbursement according to that approval. The flu reimbursement service provider will not double check the approvals with the Customer before paying reimbursements.
-
If the Customer is unable to verify the reimbursement or has a query regarding the reimbursement (for example, due to duplicative claims or fraudulent requests), the Customer is solely responsible for managing and resolving these issues directly with the recipient. Bupa Wellness will not provide any support in managing and resolving reimbursement queries or issues directly with recipients.
-
If the Customer does not approve the reimbursement before 16 August 2024, the reimbursement will not be paid by the flu reimbursement service provider and the Customer may need to directly reimburse the recipient outside of this Agreement. Bupa Wellness and the flu reimbursement service provider will not be liable to reimburse the Customer.
-
If there is a discrepancy between the number of flu reimbursements the Customer expected to pay for in an invoice period and the amount included in the invoice by Bupa Wellness, the Customer must submit appropriate evidence to Bupa Wellness of the number of flu reimbursements approved during the invoice period, and once received, Bupa Wellness will take steps to liaise with the flu reimbursement service provider to address the discrepancy.
-
