The Organisation
Latrobe Health Services is an Australian-owned not-for-profit registered private health insurer with more than 100,000 members across Australia. We pride ourselves on providing quality cover for our members, and exceptional service when our members need us.
Founded in 1950, Latrobe Health was established by power industry workers to provide for the health care needs of residents in the Latrobe Valley, Victoria, and at the time focused on providing medical services such as hospitals and ambulances. Much has changed since 1950, with Latrobe Health now providing hospital and extras coverage for members Australia-wide. However, the spirit of our founders remains.
Latrobe Health is still a regionally focused and based private health insurer that exists to benefit and support its members and the communities in which they live.
