About

We’re Police Health – Australia’s only private health fund run by police for police offering cover like no other. We’ve been looking after the health and wellbeing of Australia’s police community for nearly 90 years!

As a not-for-profit our members distinct needs are our priority – and that devotion makes our members happy. We were named the #1 Health Fund for Member Satisfaction in 2023 with a score of 99%, marking 17 consecutive years maintaining a score of 98% or higher.*

If you’re part of Australia’s police community you’ll appreciate that the unexpected, critical and severe can lie just around the corner, which is why we only offer top health cover as we believe anything less would be a disservice to you.

We cover singles, couples, single parent families and families, and membership is also open to your extended family. Parents and grandparents, brothers and sisters and their partners and children can all benefit from the quality of our cover!

Now covering nearly 75,000 members of Australia’s police community, we’re the health fund of choice for police and their families!
