TOGETHER.
BETTER.
From 1 July 2025, Teachers Union Health (TUH) will officially join Teachers Health Group, incorporating UniHealth (Teachers Health), bringing together two health funds with a long history of supporting the education community and their families (more than 120 years combined!).
Like Teachers Health, TUH is a not-for-profit, union-based health fund that shares similar values, stakeholders, and a strong connection to the education community. Together, we will become the only health fund in Australia dedicated to supporting educators.
Here are just some of the reasons TUH chose to join forces with Teachers Health:
We’re for educators
Both funds were established by unions committed to delivering the best health outcomes for educators and their families.
Together, we’re stronger
The merger strengthens our position as Australia’s largest industry-based health fund, covering nearly 500,000 lives.
Discounts and increased benefits
Members will soon enjoy a larger national provider network, more discounts, updated benefits, and greater long-term value.
We’re for members (not profit)
Teachers Health has given more back to members as benefits than the industry average (for over 10 years!).
