Why RBHS?

The Reserve Bank Health Society (the RBHS) is a not-for-profit health fund founded in 1959, offering top-level health cover and exceptional customer service. The RBHS is fully owned by its members and open to current and former employees of the Reserve Bank of Australia and Note Printing Australia and their families.

The not-for-profit advantage

RBHS is a not-for-profit health insurance fund committed to providing you with excellent benefits and exceptional service. The fund exists only to benefit members, and as such we aim to pay out as much of the premiums collected as possible, while remaining financially viable.

The RBHS focus

The RBHS has a strong customer focus and is committed to meeting the needs of members by providing:

  • exceptional health benefits: our Premium Extras cover pays some of the highest benefits in the industry
  • personalised high-priority service
  • a national network of service providers and hospitals
  • a strong not-for-profit focus.

All these things lead to us taking out top spot for member satisfaction year after year, according to Discovery Research’s survey of similar health funds.
