About Health Partners

We’re on South Australia’s side and have been for 85 years now.

No matter where or how we grow, our focus will always be helping locals live in a better state of health.

We’re proud to be a not-for-profit – and prouder still to be guided by doing what’s right for our members, our people, and the broader community too. As South Australia’s largest open Health Insurer providing cover to over 90,000 people, we are on our members side for the moments that matter.
