We know how important affordable health cover is to you. So we regularly review the way we work to see where we can be more efficient, progressive, and competitive with other health funds.
We're tackling increasing healthcare costs in a number of ways:
- Working closely with the government on policy reform to reduce costs in heath care.
- Investing in primary care programs for people with chronic conditions to help them stay out of hospital.
- Partnering with the healthcare sector to support better health outcomes for members.
- Developing a number of community programs that help Aussies get healthy and stay healthy like Free + Active.
