Community
By investing in making communities healthier, by expanding access to affordable healthcare for members and by bringing out the best in our people, we're helping Australians to feel good while making a positive social impact.
Westfund Community Grants Program
Westfund is deeply committed to helping communities thrive. That's why we created the Westfund Community Grants Program - providing over $120,000 in yearly grants to deserving community groups and organisations.

By understanding where access and availability of important health services are lacking — and providing support to overcome these challenges — we can pave the way for a better quality of life for members while also lowering the cost of health care for the community.

Additional Member Assistance
Supporting our members when it comes to family and domestic violence
We are committed to supporting our members affected by family and domestic violence and encourage any member experiencing these issues to reach out for a confidential discussion about the assistance we can offer.
Supporting our members through COVID
We’re proud to have returned $10.7 million back to our members via our COVID-19 Community Support Package. This is in addition to saving members close to $9 million through two rounds of premium increase deferrals.
Our Natural Disaster Hardship Support
During tough times, you don’t need the extra burden of health cover payments. That's why we offer a Natural Disaster Financial Hardship suspension to members feeling the impacts of natural disasters.
Westfund Sponsorships
One of our core values is to give back to the communities that we serve. We are proud to partner with various local events, charities and organisations to make a positive impact and create meaningful connections. From sponsoring youth sports teams to supporting community festivals, we are dedicated to making a difference in the places we call home.
