Member update: HCF celebrates 500,000 policyholders

Tuesday, 6 July 2010- HCF continues to record exceptional levels of growth, recently reaching the milestone of 500,000 policyholders. When the dependents of both HCF and Manchester Unity policyholders are taken into account, the HCF Group is now helping almost 1.3 million Australians stay well.

A number of recent initiatives have cemented HCF’s status as an industry-leading not-for-profit health fund. In particular, the My Health Guardian program is now helping over 25,000 of our members who have a chronic condition better manage their health through customised web and phone-based support.

Terry Smith, CEO of HCF, commented: “Reaching this landmark only reaffirms that HCF is setting the standard in this industry, striving towards better health outcomes for our members as well as strong growth.

“I’m excited to see what we can achieve in the years ahead.”
