Over 50 years of memories, milestones and members.
TUH was founded in 1972 by a group of Queensland teachers wanting access to better health insurance for the education community.
From small beginnings to a vibrant community, the TUH story has been marked by genuine care, trust, and the drive to make a difference for those we serve. The reflections in our "TUH through the years" book offer a window into what makes us unique – not just as a health fund, but as a community built on support and connection.
As we reflect on where we’ve come from and look ahead to a new future, we celebrate the care and connections that continue to unite our community. Thank you for being part of the journey: our past, our present, and all that lies ahead.
Some things are just better as one.
That’s why TUH and Teachers Health have merged. Making us the only private health insurer dedicated to the education community in Australia and the 6th largest health fund.
The coming together of these two award winning, not-for-profit and member-owned health funds, ensures we can continue to support you and your health needs well into the future.
With both funds recognised by Roy Morgan for outstanding member satisfaction, you can be confident that you are part of one of the most trusted and high-performing health funds in the country.
