Community is part of RT Health’s DNA. It’s the reason we were founded back in 1889 and it’s why we’re still here today realising our mission to support the people who keep Australia moving.
Over 130+ years, we’ve grown our community .. and our members have helped us every step of the way.
We were founded by a small group of enterprising rail employees out of the Eveleigh railway workshops in Sydney more than 130 years ago. Hardworking Australians who realised the value of coming together to protect the health and wellbeing of those closest to them.
Today, we’d like to think we’re still making them proud. We merged with Australia’s largest not-for-profit fund, HCF, in November 2021. A bigger community – an opportunity for our members and people to get the same genuine care and support we’re renowned for – but with the backing of a larger fund. So, we proudly became Stronger Together. A new era, but the same purpose. Looking after the people who keep Australia moving. Private health insurance dedicated to the hardworking men and women in the rail, transport and energy industries.
Our people are now employed by HCF, and proud to be – but they’re still staunchly Team RT when it comes to supporting the 48,000 Australians who look us to help them with quality private health cover. We’re also at one with our industries. We have decades of experience in helping workers – so we know what they value, what they need and how we can help.
