Our story
HBF was created to bring the best healthcare within reach of ordinary Western Australians. Since then, generations of lives have been transformed, and even saved, thanks to the care they have received as HBF members.
Our vision is to be Australia’s most trusted and valued member-based organisation. With members nationwide, we are focused on new ways to grow our business and offer more to our members - determined to deliver for them in the moments that matter!

There’s never been a more exciting time to join us as we undertake a strategic transformation program that involves national growth, business expansion and enhancements to our technology capability.
With just over 900 employees, and a focus on change, you’ll be part of an environment that offers outstanding opportunities to learn develop and achieve, with great employee benefits. We’re looking for people that are agile, performance driven, and have the desire to be part of a collaborative values-based organisation.
Our values
HBF's four core values shape our behaviours in everything we do - the way we relate to and treat our colleagues, our members and our community.
Members Are Our Reason: Members are the reason we exist and are at the heart of everything we do.
We Are Brave: We are brave in the way we will tackle the future. We’re driven by curiosity, and constantly look for better ways to work smarter, faster and more innovatively.
We Do the Right Thing: We are open and honest in everything we do. We do what is right, not what is easy and explain why we’re doing it.
We Work as One: We act as one HBF because we’re better together. We work not as individuals but as a team to achieve more.
