Affordable day to day health support
Our Primary Care Plan was designed to make the biggest contribution possible to your day-to-day health, not make the biggest profit?
As an eligible Union member, you get real value out of healthcare – with cover that’s designed to support you and your family’s health when you are well – not just if you get sick.
With less of the usual exclusions and barriers to apply and premiums capped for over 65’s, here’s a genuine value approach to cover that can give typical families hundreds of dollars more in support than it costs - every year.
