TOGETHER.
BETTER.
From 1 July 2025, Teachers Union Health (TUH) will officially join Teachers Health Group (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 the educators.
Here are just some of the reasons TUH chose to join forces with Teachers Health:
We’re for teachers
Both funds were established by unions committed to delivering the best health outcomes for education staff 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.
Winning hearts (and awards!)
TUH and Teachers Health are both proud recipients of Roy Morgan’s Private Health Insurer of the Year award (2022 and 2024) – proof that one of Australia’s most trusted health funds is now even stronger.
