HealthCare Plus Information

EBS was started in 1963 to enable teachers, education sector members, and their families to access competitive insurance products to support their families' health and provide financial protection for unforeseen events. In 2018 the Board of EBS conducted a fundamental review of the business and decided to enter a strategic partnership with UniMed whereby UniMed underwrites all HealthCarePlus health insurance products, and EBS focusses on providing Members with a range of competitively priced health insurance products underwritten by UniMed. HealthCarePlus was the first accredited Living Wage Employer in the insurance sector. In addition to HealthCarePlus's insurance marketing activities, in 2019 HealthCarePlus applied for and received Charitable Status. We are now working with our Union owners as we will be distributing the investment returns from our existing investments as Charitable Education Grants. We will be making our first distribution of Charitable Education Grants in late 2020. Our Owners
