What to look for when selecting a plan

Before you sign up for the subsidy, there are a few things you should know. You may have more than one supplier to choose from so how do you decide which service provider to go with?

All the plans that have been approved as eligible for the subsidy have to comply to a certain standard as specified by the Government. They are all business grade broadband products that have greater speeds and greater security than normal residential broadband products. All products must have a minimum allowance of 3Gb of download data.

 

Find out about free add-ons

The incentive payment subsidises the basic service fee, hardware and set-up costs. Service providers may offer approved additional products but there may be an extra cost depending on the rebate cover you are eligible for. The subsidy does not cover GST or excess data charges. Web Secure’s Health plans include the following free add-ons:

Tick FREE unlimited dial-up connection to access the Internet from your home or whilst traveling
Tick FREE back-up connection to use during outages to keep you online
Tick FREE modem or router and set-up
Tick FREE email virus scan and spam filter to protect your computer

 

How much of my service is actually subsidised?

A major change to BFHP Phase 2 is the introduction of a maximum subsidy rebate that each eligible practice may receive, based on the Rural, Remote and Metropolitan Area (RRMA) classification system. The subsidy is broken down into several levels of capped rebate available in specific geographic locations.

Eligible practices are not able to pocket the difference between their eligible rebate and the approved service(s) they choose.

Practices will also have to pay the additional costs outside of the rebate they are eligible for, if they choose more expensive approved service(s).

If additional services are not taken up at the time of signing a contract, the practice will not be able to receive a rebate for these if added later.

Practice locations are free to select from any of the qualified services, but they will be responsible for meeting any service costs over and above the subsidy level where their preferred service is more expensive than the subsidy.

 

What happens when the subsidy stops?

Don’t lock yourself into a contract that is longer than 12 months. The subsidy only covers the first 12 months of your contract. You have the automatic right to continue with your service after the first 12 months with the same terms as the initial contract.

 

Find out about excess charges and download/upload limits

The cheapest monthly service fee is not always the low cost option. Many low cost plans restrict the amount of data you can download each month. You may end up paying large amounts in excess usage charges if you exceed your chosen plans monthly download limits. Pacific Internet’s Health plans include high levels of included data and low excess rates to help you manage your budget.

 

What happens if things go wrong?

Look into technical support guarantees. You need direct access to experienced and qualified technical staff. As a business-grade customer you should expect priority call handling and a minimal wait time to speak with technical support. Web Secure provides the business-grade technical support you need.

 

How secure is the service?

The second phase of the BFHP focuses heavily on security, so new services have been approved offering higher levels of security to protect patient data. Make sure the service you choose includes high-level security to protect your network and confidential data. Web Secure’s Health Plus SecureSite plans include the latest firewall protection, intrusion detection and 24x7 network monitoring with outage notification.

 

How reliable is the service?

Without a reliable service, the Internet can be a nightmare. Be sure to research network coverage when choosing an Internet Service Provider. You can find out which service providers provide network coverage in your area at the DHA Broadband for Health website.

With Web Secure’s health plans, you will receive a 99% Service Level Guarantee providing a percentage rebate off your monthly subscription fee if the DSL network availability falls below 99% during a calendar month. Also, on those rare occasions where the network may go down, we offer a back-up dial-up connection to keep you online, all the time.
