Our Culture


Australian Unity’s ambition is to become Australia’s leading wellbeing company. This is not only for our customers but also for our people. We believe that if we can be bold, warm and honest in our dealings with customers, with each other and with everyone we connect with, we can deliver on the promise: your wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do.

We have a unique and strong culture that has developed over the 160 years or so that our company has been operating.

Our people describe our culture as positive, people oriented, friendly, forward thinking and achievement focused. There is a real sense of energy and optimism. We operate in an environment where our people are trusting and respectful of each other, as well as supportive and caring. Diversity is lived and valued.

In the most recent employee engagement survey over 80% of our people said they were engaged with our company. This means they feel connected to the company’s direction, are in roles that are challenging and satisfying, value the culture and people and believe that our leadership is of high quality. This reinforces our view that Australian Unity is an excellent place to work.

We are a company that has quite a unique balance of both heart and head.
