The Economic and Social Impact of the Members Health Funds of Australia
Members Health is the national peak body for 24 health insurers that operate under the not-for-profit and member-owned mutuality ethos, meaning they are owned by and for members. As such, they do not have to generate profits for shareholders or overseas investors, allowing them to give back more in benefits to members and maintain an unwavering consumer focus.
Members Health funds provide a growing 5.3 million Australians with timely access to high quality care, when and where they need it with a doctor of choice.
This report, commissioned by Members Health on behalf of its constituent insurers and prepared with Finity Actuaries, details the historic, social and economic contribution of the sector to the Australian economy and community.
