Here for SSTUWA members
We're health insurance for Australia's teachers and education community. And as a member of the SSTUWA, you're invited to join!
Teachers Health was established in 1954 to provide cost-effective private health insurance for union members and their families.
Here for Teachers Health members
We're proudly not-for-profit. That means our priority is providing quality cover and value to our members (not payouts for shareholders). Here are some of the ways we do this:
Support services
Eligible members with Hospital cover can access support services and programs via Teachers Healthcare Services.
Healthy Lifestyle benefits
Members with Extras cover can access programs to improve health conditions, and (hopefully) their overall quality of life!
Extras provider network
Get the most out of your cover – and some great discounts – via our network of no-gap dentists and eyecare providers.
Skip the waits on Extras*
Join with any Extras cover by 31 July and skip the 2 & 6 month waits.
