About us
Despite our growth and changes in some of the things we do, our focus is the same as it was more than 175 years ago: to serve and enhance the wellbeing of our members, our customers and our community.
What is a 'mutual' company?
A mutual is a company that is owned by its members—typically its customers—not by shareholders chasing high returns on their investments.
As a mutual, Australian Unity invests profits directly back into our businesses, innovation and growth to help us continuously improve the services and support we provide to our members, customers and the community.
We operate with commercial principles and with a strong social purpose to create community value. Our products and services are designed to provide peace of mind and support for members and customers at important times in their lives.

Living
There's no place like home, and home can come in lots of different shapes and sizes. We can help you feel safe and comfortable with retirement lifestyle communities and aged care residences. We also offer extensive support through the NDIS to enable you to live life on your own terms.
Support in your own home
- Ideal for people who want to stay living independently at home, but might need a bit of help with things like health care, personal care and cooking.
- Our Aboriginal Home Care service offers specialised and culturally appropriate services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
- Our National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) team provides services including health care, home support, companionship, transport, and working with you to develop new skills that help you get more out of life.
A new lifestyle in a new home
- Retirement communities offer an attractive option if you are looking to down-size and benefit from a great lifestyle, community connections, independence, security and peace of mind.
- Aged care residences offer you or your loved one reliable and respectful care around-the-clock to fulfil your needs and maximise your independence wherever possible, with tailored services to suit your needs, preferences and individuality.
