Australian Unity Over 175 years of supporting community wellbeing

At Australian Unity, care and service is at the heart of everything we do. Since 1840, our mission has been to bring health and support to Australian lives.

Over the years we have grown in many ways but we have always supported the wellbeing of everyday Australians, providing social infrastructure and services that have helped shape the nation. Back in the 1890s, one of our founding organisations played a key role in campaigning for Australia’s federation. Australia’s first two prime ministers, Sir Edmund Barton and Alfred Deakin, were both members and so was the first Australian-born Governor-General in 1930, Sir Isaac Isaacs.

While we are proud of our heritage, Australian Unity is a business firmly focused on the future. Today, Australian Unity actively identifies and helps solve a diverse range of health and lifestyle needs to support the wellbeing of our members and the broader Australian community so that they can thrive.

As a mutual company, Australian Unity is owned by its members rather than shareholders. This means that we do not pay any of our profits to shareholders but invest them back into further services to directly support our members and customers.
