Yes! When shopping at Bad Backs Stores you may be eligible for a rebate from your Private Health Fund on selected 'back care' items.

Eligible products include therapeutic items from the Federal Government's Guide to Health Aids:

• Manually & electronically operated adjustable beds
• Pressure management mattresses and overlays
• Back rests & leg rests
• Various wedges
• Posture support seating
• Upper and lower limb braces
• Hand splints
• Orthotics
• Special cushions designed for people with illness/disability

Important: Private Health Fund rebate criteria varies significantly. Some require in-store only purchases, while others accept online purchases. We strongly recommend contacting your Fund prior to purchase to:

• Clarify if you're eligible for a rebate
• Confirm the amount you can expect to receive back
• Understand their specific purchase requirements

Contact us for more information about provider numbers and rebate processes.

Bad Backs uses the highest industry-standard security on all transactions. We want you to shop with confidence, which is why we've taken every possible measure to ensure your confidential details are protected.

Our Security Features:
• Superior Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology
• GeoTrust True BusinessID® with EV SSL certificate
• Up to 256 Bit encryption with GeoTrust® Smart Seal

When you place an order, your payment details are separated from your order and passed directly to your financial institution via our Square Payment Gateway. This prevents anyone other than Bad Backs and your bank from viewing your details. Placing an order online is just as safe as giving your credit card number over the phone.

We may occasionally be out of stock of the product you ordered. If this happens, we'll contact you without delay using the email address and daytime phone number you provided during checkout.

If we're unable to fulfill your order, we'll discuss an alternate product or happily offer a full refund. We're committed to keeping you informed throughout the process and finding the best solution for your needs.

We will send you tracking information for your order.
