Bupa Australia - Caring for the health of Australians
Bupa Australia’s vision of being Australia’s favourite healthcare company is centred around our purpose of helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives. We focus on and stand for three things: sustainable, affordable health insurance which delivers real value and protection for our members; excellence in personal customer service; and helping our members improve their health and wellbeing for the long-term.
Today, over three million Australians look to Bupa Australia to guide them through the healthcare system and to help them make informed decisions about how to better manage their health, and that of their families.
Through a range of leading-edge health programs and services, Bupa Australia encourages and supports our members to take positive steps towards achieving their best physical, mental and emotional health. Whether you are fit and healthy, living with a medical condition or coping with chronic life-changing disease, we aim to help you take care of your health not only by providing access to affordable, quality treatment when it’s needed, but also by offering practical support and advice to get well and stay well.

A strong history supporting Australians
Our members are at the heart of everything we do. We want to be their health partner for life by keeping healthcare costs affordable, providing choice and personal service, delivering value leadership, developing great products, and through the range of quality care our members can access.
Bupa Australia is the largest privately managed health insurer in Australia – and one of the most established. Some of our health insurance brands can be traced back 75 years, and we have a significant presence in every private health insurance market across Australia. In addition, we provide home, contents, car and travel insurance products, as well as access to life insurance products.
HBA and Mutual Community became a single insurer with separate state-based brands in 1990. In 2002, the Bupa Group acquired the merged group from AXA Asia Pacific Holdings Ltd to create Bupa Australia. In June 2008, Bupa Australia merged with MBF to create a leading private health insurance company with a national footprint.
