HCF opens new branch and dental centre in Castle Hill

Sydney, 4 January 2017 – HCF, Australia’s leading not-for-profit health fund, today opens a state of the art dental centre at the HCF Castle Hill branch at Castle Towers.  Geared to enhance the member experience, the recently relocated branch offers local HCF members greater convenience and best in class dental services.

The HCF Castle Hill branch opened on 15 December 2016 and the dental centre opens on 4 January 2017, with six dental chairs. The HCF Dental Centre in Castle Hill marks another step towards providing improved dental services to members while also continuing to deliver free preventive dental checks.

Preventive dental care is essential to good oral health and HCF has long recognised the value of this by offering members free annual dental checks since the first HCF Dental Centre opened in 1987 at George Street, Sydney.

“HCF is focused on offering our members an optimal customer service experience and quality dental care. We’re excited to welcome our Castle Hill members to our new branch and state of the art facilities at Castle Towers,” said, Cindy Shay, Chief Benefits Officer, HCF.

“We know that good dental care and oral hygiene are crucial for maintaining overall health and we encourage people to have regular dental check-ups. We’re very proud to be launching the HCF Castle Hill branch and dental centre, offering these important services to our members.”
