It’s not often we stop and take a moment to pat ourselves on the back, but TUH Health Fund’s 50th anniversary provided a golden milestone worthy of reflection and celebration.
Foundation members and special guests joined the TUH board, executive and team at High Church, Fortitude Valley on Thursday 26 May to recall our humble beginnings when the fund was established by the Queensland Teachers Union who continue to be instrumental in the success of the fund today, and serving nearly 80,000 members across three brands: TUH, Union Health and the Health Hub.
Channel 7 personality and long-time friend of TUH, Pat Welsh, welcomed guests and ran proceedings. TUH Chair John Battams spoke of the value of union support through the years, and TUH CEO Rob Seljak shared the secret of our success: our incredible staff.
Award-winning artist Donna Gibb invited guests to add a brushstroke to her live artwork, which turned out to be a masterpiece we’ll treasure. Cathy McGuane, our Executive Manager of Member Experience, gave a vote of thanks to our members, staff and past and present directors, acknowledging that without them the fund would not be where we are today.
Thanks to all who helped us to celebrate on the night, especially our foundation members who have been with us since 1972. What a journey it’s been, and we look forward to many more years serving our members, who are at the heart of all we do.
Some fantastic professional photos were taken on the night. We invite you to take a look and download your favourites from our photo gallery.
