By advocating on issues that affect our members we look to shape the sectors we operate in. We look for people who will help us to sustain our population into the future. Please explore through our Thought + resource hub for our thinking in the areas of health, wealth and living.
Our values
In everything we do, we’ll be bold, warm, and honest to help our people thrive.
Our values were developed by our people working at Australian Unity through a series of focus groups from across the organisation. Our people were asked what it was like to work for us, how did they interact with others, and how would they like their workplace to feel?
So our values are partially a reflection on how it feels to work here, and partly aspirational – how do we want to work with each other.
When we are Bold we think big, think it through, have a go, do it well, and keep learning.
When we are Warm, we care about people, welcome difference, inspire each other, understand our customers, and make people smile.
When we are Honest we talk straight, do what we say, earn trust, take responsibility and strive to do what’s right.
Our culture
At Australian Unity we believe that the positive culture of our organisation is the key to our capability to deliver products and services that provide community value and help people thrive.
A positive culture is a representation of how well we work together to demonstrate the values, strategies, beliefs and principles of Australian Unity, and can be expressed by “how things work around here”.
We have defined a desired culture so that we can continually work towards a work environment that makes a difference.
Our desired culture is one where we aspire to truly understand the needs of our customers, residents and the community.
We also focus on stretching and experimenting so we can deliver the best possible products and services for the future. We focus on trust and building accountability and work to maintain our emphasis on achieving our best outcomes.
Inclusiveness, access and enablement
Australian Unity’s mutual heritage is based on joining people together and today we still work from that premise.
Our values reinforce a culture where all our people feel valued, included and can contribute equally to their work environment.
We believe that when our workforce reflects the diversity of our customers we can better support the communities we connect with. Australian Unity is a member of the Australian Network for Disability which is committed to advancing the inclusion of people with a disability in all aspects of business.
Reconciliation Australia
Australian Unity’s 176-year history in Australia is a flash in time compared to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' rich and timeless connection to the land, waterways and seas, but our organisation has long been involved in the public discourse regarding the nation's future.
Australian Unity is now one of the largest employers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in NSW.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan focuses both on practical measures to support Australia's First Peoples, and is also an opportunity to discuss matters such as our constitution, and the conversation about Australia Day.
