Caring for the health cover needs of transport and energy industry employees and their families.

About

Over 125 years ago, rt health fund was formed by a group of mates working on the railways. Today we partner with some of the country’s largest transport and energy industry organisations and around 50,000 people trust their health cover to us. Our members enjoy excellent value private health insurance while being part of a community that shares ownership of the fund.

We’re proud to say that our commitment to members means that rt health fund is one of the most recommended health funds in the country. And, our members appreciate being treated like individuals and not a number in the system - we’re rated twice the industry average*!
