THURSDAY, 25 SEPTEMBER 2025: HCF, Australia’s largest not-for-profit health fund, has once again been recognised for delivering exceptional value, winning Canstar’s Outstanding Value Award for Health Insurance for the tenth consecutive year (2016–2025).

In addition to this national honour, HCF has also been awarded for Outstanding Value Hospital and Extras Insurance in Tasmania, reinforcing its commitment to meeting the diverse needs of Australians across the country.

The awards underscore HCF’s dedication to providing high-quality cover that meets the health and financial wellbeing of everyday Australians.  As a not-for-profit fund, HCF puts members first — with more than 2 million Australians benefiting from genuine care, flexible cover options, and support programs designed to reduce out-of-pocket costs.

“At HCF, we’re proud to be recognised by Canstar for outstanding value health insurance ten years in a row,” said HCF CEO and Managing Director Lorraine Thomas.

"These awards represent more than just policies — they reflect the confidence and care our members rely on every day. With no shareholders to answer to, our focus remains firmly on putting people before profit.”
