YOUR UNION. YOUR HEALTH FUND.
Just like your union, we exist to look after you. So, while IEU backs your career, we support your health and wellbeing.
Welcome, IEU members!
Why join Teachers Health?
We were founded by an education union over 70 years ago to take care of union members and their families. Today, we’re Australia’s largest industry-based fund, supporting communities like IEU across the preschool, primary, secondary and TAFE sectors.
You’ll be joining a fund that:
Keeps premiums as low as possible – a perk of being not-for-profit!
Returns more to members as benefits – above industry average for over 10 years
Empowers you to choose – a specialist doctor and private hospital (while avoiding public hospital waits)
Helps you recharge – via physio, massage, mental health support and more#
Provides great member benefits – including no-gap dental and optical deals at one of our Health Centres
