RTBU found honesty, transparency and value from Union Health

RTBU were recently looking for a new health fund that shared their strong union values.

RTBU Queensland State Secretary, Peter Allen, was familiar with Union Health and their strong track record of prioritising people over profit. He said this made them an obvious choice.

“As a union, we only partner with organisations who share our values. We knew that Union Health shared our core values, plus we saw them in action - Union Health were practising these values (rather than just talking).”

When it came time for Peter to move his own cover to Union Health, he remembers not having a lot of spare time. He gave Union Health a call.

“The process was so straightforward and easy. Their communication was excellent, and we were able to step through everything together over the phone. It was reassuring to talk to the same person throughout the sign- up process. I emailed them a few times with my questions and the same person responded each time.

“Member feedback on the product offerings from Union Health has been very positive. In particular, members have enjoyed the comprehensive cover options, value for money, and the benefits such as Mates Rates discounts, and access to the Health Hub (for those in Brisbane and surrounds).”

Peter’s advice to anyone considering a switch to Union Health is:

“If you’re considering changing your provider, there are three key things to think about:

1. Who are you giving your money to? Is it a big corporation that funnels money offshore, or an organisation that puts profits back into serving their members?

2. How much you pay AND what you get back. It’s important to do your own homework, with a focus on what you’re currently paying and what value you’re getting.

3. Look at what the health fund stands for. Do they stand with the employer or do they stand with the workforce?

“Union Health has the tools to support you to compare offers. I know they’re trustworthy and will give you the good oil on your options. They can even give you an idea of what you tend to claim over the course of a year and come up with something that suits you.”
