Community Partnerships Program
opening April 2020

Expressions of interest open April 1st 2020. Tell us how up to $300,000 over three years will help you make a tangible and lasting positive difference to WA health.

We've created the HBF Community Partnerships Program to help organisations and charities in our community improve the health of West Australians.

Brief background

For 78 years, generations of Western Australians have turned to us to insure their health. We are the State's largest health insurer, but we're also determined to be a force for good in the wider community.

Our goal

Improving health in our community can take many forms and we want to ensure that our Community Partnerships Program makes a tangible, measurable difference in an area of need in our community.
